****Kids+ playground=innocent fun?Think again(its crAZY!)


I went to the playground today.
My sister had been begging me to bring her there to play for about two weeks now.
I finally gave in and brought her down.
One might look down from one's flat and see little children playing in the playground and think, "They look so free,they don't have a deadline to meet or any sort of stress to try and manage. All TheY have to do is play.Talk about Lucky!"
Well, I dont know about you, but I sure use to think that.
But,after going to the playground today, I feel completely foolish for being so naive.
Its not all innocent fun and games.
If you take a moment and simply sit there and watch this adorable five and six year olds play and if you listhen to their conversations, you might just recieve a little shock.
" Hey boy, you know that boy there, he said he wants to fight with you. You better go show him."
This was what a little boy(probably six years of age) told an even younger boy.
I watched as they both walked side-by-side(honestly even gangsters would admire the determined look on their faces and they way strut toward the boy"who wants to fight wth them").
From what I got about this boy who wanted"to fight with them", he was simply minding his own business and playing on his own. I doubt he had even exchanged two words with them.
I was taken aback by their conversation and could not make myself do anything as the two boys approached the boy.
But this other girl, about 12-years i think, took the intiative and warned them that the boy they were planning to FiGhT with, had his father siting just a few feet away.
So they stopped and went back playing.
What I was doing? Just standing there, speechless and feeling abit numb.
Sigh
The parents of this lIttLE boys were probably busy with work and their siblings might not have been great influenece either.
Its horrible really...
It's sad that children so young have this image that they are big mafias or something.
If you think that im over reacting, I feel sorry for you.
If you had seen first hand the expressions on this little kids faces, you would feel just as sad as I do now.
I really have nothing else to say, or just cant decide what to say right now.
I really want to help them..but at the same time I want to help the people who imfluenced them.
But I cant..no matter how hard I try.
Not alone anyway...
If you see the seriousness of what I'm trying to tell you, then please do your bit and help our society, help our children, help ourselves, we are still kids too afterall.
Make the right choices please, and think twice of any action you are about to make, especially infront of any young child.
They don't need to make the same mistake you did.
It's just not fair for them, Its just not..
I dont want to think what this little boys might just grow up to become..
