I recently started working as a psychologist in a hospital, and the patterns I'm seeing among the younger generation have completely changed how I plan to educate my own kids.
A massive portion of the young adults coming to me for therapy belong to the O/A Level stream, and the recurring themes are alarming:
- Early substance use used as a coping mechanism or status symbol.
- Messy relationship dynamics, including juggling multiple partners and normalized cheating.
- Extreme drama and a total lack of emotional regulation.
- Completely fractured family bonds and a deep disconnect from their parents.
I know the Cambridge system has its perks, but the toxic subculture, intense peer pressure, and detachment from core values just aren't worth it.
As a psychologist, I see the emotional price tag attached to this environment. As a parent, I will not be willing to pay it. My kids probably will not do O/A Levels unless I find a good solution.

Hey everyone, I'm considering joining the Model Town Club in Lahore for the fitness and sports facilities, but I can't find updated details online. If any current members or recent applicants could share the actual upfront cost and monthly fees (for somebody living in MT), I’d really appreciate it! I also want to know whether they have a decent quiet library or workspace area, and most importantly how private and separate the female setups are for the gym and swimming pool.

Thanks in advance!

I’ve ordered from Shein a few times before (mostly hijabs, phone cases, and small accessories) and everything arrived fine. However, I’m planning to place a bigger order this time, specifically for a pair of running shoes and clothes.
I’ve been told some "horror stories" that during the customs clearance process in Pakistan, officers might
keep them or replace them with something else.

Has anyone actually experienced this? Or is it just a myth?

I have been running at Model Town Park for the past few months and since I’m not originally from Lahore, the environment was a bit of a cultural shock for me, but the level of PDA in the park is truly unexpected. People (young kids) engage in such behavior that it’s difficult to even look toward the trees to admire the view, despite how beautiful the park is.

I have to be extremely calculated about where I look because you might see anything there. Although I’ve noticed a security guard or two patrolling on bikes, they don’t seem to do anything to stop these couples from acting inappropriately in public.
