Proud to Be a Member of the Lazy Generation

According to a study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, an average child age 8 to 18 spends more than 7 hours a day engaged in some form of media. Even scarier is that only 3 out of 10 children studied had parents that set limits on this activity. That means that almost one third of each day of their childhood will be spent wasting time in this manner, and their parents aren't doing a thing about it. That time could be spent exercising, working, or doing the homework kids claim takes so much time. All I have to say to these kids is, "Put your phone away, get off your butt, stop playing WOW, and go do something worthwhile with your life. I'll think of you the next time I'm feeling lazy."
