The alarming decline in the mental health of Britain's youth was revealed today after it emerged that suicidal children as young as five contacted ChildLine.

The charity reported that nearly four out of five calls about suicide last year were from girls.

One in six of some 6,000 calls from youngsters to the helpline about mental health problems came from girls who talked about suicide.

I worked with a family to nanny their triplet toddlers. One of the boys had alot of hyperactivity issues, and as i was leaving the family, they were having him take medicine... at the age of four...

they eventually sent him into an institution at the age of 5 and decided that he had Bi-Polar Disorder...

BIPOLAR 5 YEAR OLDS? THAT NEED TO BE INSTITUTIONALIZED??

is it just me or is that something crazy...

although in this situation, its more like the way americans (for one) treat their issues... i mean parents who lose their nannies... that can cause you to go a bit crazy if you have two other children the same age!! TALK ABOUT CRAZY :-\
