The UK has been accused of failing its children, as it comes bottom of a league table for child well-being across 21 industrialised countries.
The Unicef report looked at 40 indicators including poverty, peer and family relationships, and health.

"do you find your peer group kind and considerate?"
naturally the british kids said f*** off you must be joking!

The effect is incalculably exacerbated by the presence of pebble-dash veneering.
I blame the government, teachers, social workers, video games and peer group pressure.
Well it's certainly nothing to do with parents, eh?
