Many children in Lithuania start smoking, alcohol and even drugs early simply because they do not receive enough attention and support. In Lithuania, alcohol is even regularly consumed 34% in adolescents<\/b>, fog about 30%<\/b>. Suicide rate of children and young people, aged 15\u201319 teenagers, there are in Lithuania the largest among EU countries<\/b> and almost 4 times<\/b> exceeds the EU average. According to the general level of empathy, Lithuania was in the last place among 67 countries.<\/p>\n

Kids don't need things - kids need positive attention !!!<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n

Prevention is possible! - According to researchers, the situation can be drastically improved by encouraging parents to spend quality time with their children (playing together, managing together, taking an interest in the child's affairs) and increasing children's participation in organized sports. Currently, only about 20% children attend sports in Lithuania. For comparison, up to 90% children, 6-12 years old, play sports in Iceland and Scandinavia!<\/p>\n

We bring kids to friendly football workouts. We invite children from single-parent, large, socially vulnerable families and foster homes to attend football training for free with other children. They are taught by specially trained, friendly coaches, children are taught to apologize, work and play in a team.<\/p>\n

This has already been tested in Iceland<\/b><\/p>\n

Iceland has implemented a national program for the mass employment of children in sport. At 14 m. since 1998, alcohol consumption in Iceland, 15-16 years. among adolescents, dropped from 42 to 5 percent, those who tried drugs from 17 to 7 percent, and smokers from 23 to 3 percent.<\/p>\n
