"Eggy Lad" is one of my favorites  Don´t knock his vocab, his an awesome angler that puts in the graft, and reaps the rewards  Keyboard warriors knocking his vocab ... shame on you

how on earth do you come to the conclusions from a video where they use drones and edit everything out

That is really honest of you and must have been very hard to write. Fairplay to you. I hope that he will get past it, they normally do, and you two will have a fantastic relationship eventually. Whatever is happening, and however unlikely that seems right now.

Had the pleasure of meeting Scott at Lavender hall in Coventry.
Lovely fella, had all the time in the world for us. Me and my bro were the only other guys on the lake. Other than his camera man!
We both blanked that session lol.

No one on here knows me in real life, so if what I say helps even 1 kid then it's worth it. Kills me not seeing my son but I have a new life now I've divorced my ex and I don't want to lose that.
Someone said something very interesting to me the other day, we're the only species on this planet that become attached to their kids and not just prepare them for the big wide world.
Have to say that really helps after spending the last 5 years trying to help him,

Teaching someone to “ignore” things? Show me someone thats never had to deal with any MH problems, without telling me they have never had to deal with MH problems. All those people who “ignore” things until they snap…..
Are we harking back to the good old days when it was about the old stiff upper lip? You know back in the post war days when suicide, wife beating, child beating, drink problems, etc, were just as rife as they are now?
And if you really think your kids hadn’t seen anything on FB, Insta, shared vids etc because you didn’t let them have a phone until they were 16, you’re more than deluded.
Anyway, I only found the “sick” annoying as I work with 3 brummies that use it every other word. Mind you, I say f*** or c*** every other word, so I cant complain. And complaining about the production? It was shot on his phone FFS - look at the fish he put back with just mat shots.

Wow mate, appreciate your honesty on a public platform and feel for you!
Nail on head though, kids nowadays are exposed to far more than we ever were due to the online nation, it’s mental but the reality is sad, so much for a childhood that is magical and sets your way in life, the great outdoors etc, not peer pressure and stress!
My daughter started high school and it was like flicking a switch, peer pressure etc. we had a ruling, all cellular devices on the landing by 9pm, her attitude was mental to the point I used to collect them at 9pm because otherwise she would be on them ALL night before going to school, tired, sleep deprivation and overhaul just plain nasty as a result. Confiscating them worked in the end but caused a LOT of friction, crazy and mental times. Keep an eye on them at all times, it’s a crazy world and **** knows what they are really dealing with, or who!

I've just read through this post and I think I have to reply to to make people aware of the dangers of the internet and the risks it carries.
My son is 15, I used to see him every 2 weeks and my narcissistic ex wife used to slag me off to him and his brother and let him use the internet without monitoring his internet usage.
Last year in April, he said he'd had enough living with his mum and wanted to live with me and my now wife. When he moved here we realised the internet had consumed his life, and I mean consumed.
He suffers massively from mental health issues and at the age of 12 asked me to kill him as he didn't want to live anymore.
Before he moved in with us I got him a referral to CAHMS, his mum blocked it at that point he was 10, when I moved in I got him a referral again.
Day before referral he jumped out of a 1st floor window and ran back to his mums.
This is where the truth really started to come out.
I went on his PC, I won't divulge in detail but let's just say CAHMS deemed him a risk to others and being groomed. Police wanted to investigate further but due to Discord being based in America they couldn't get enforce any requests for data. They also said if he was having these conversations online a year down the line he would be down the police station.
Social services deemed him a child in need and wanted to offer him a support worker, best bit "Mum" rejected the offer and said he was just a 15 yr old investigating his sexuality.
I've not seen hbim for 6 months, my choice, I've told him that I will be there for him if he decides he gets the help he needs.
So any of you sitting there giving it the billy big b******s about mental health, it's real.

What a waste of 20 min that was, not seen the film just people worrying about other people think. Its a forum you will get all sorts of opinions. Deal with it.

Only one thing I picked up on after skimming through
The internet has a lot to answer for. More and more of the younger generation have mental health issues.
I agree, we are in an era of electronic communications and we do not know the real outcome as yet. I have read quite a bit and seen quite a bit and it’s a sad state of affairs if **** online ruins kids life’s or stresses them out to the point of damage ffs, one word, impressionable! 
What happened to BMX bikes, games of footie or even fishing, it’s a world full of bull****ters as a whole trying to best people often for their own gains with no real moderation, it’s wrong, so ****ing wrong
