Another Prick Amongst Us All

Long Time.
2 kids in Gurgaon (Aged:14 and 13) killed their classmate by pumping six bullets in him.Guys who've barely come to terms with puberty are shooting their fellow students at point blank range. The Richard-cranium filled media wasn't patient. Aaj Tak went to the extent of extracting the report cards of the shooters and informing the public that these kids used to flunk or barely pass.This is why their minds are messed up. I'd be a mass murderer by those standards.

It's not the kids who're at fault.It's the way we're bringing up our kids. 8 year olds(Seen this myself) in my old school are calling each other "Bhenchod".No understanding of what it means.No clue about why it's offensive.Saying it because they sound "adult" when they say it.Spiders help us.

I belong to what I call the 'Porno' generation. We discovered the internet at the age of 10-11 along with the darker side of it.We were the frontrunners of what is today a full-fledged billion dollar industry.Social pressure is such that 13-year old girls need to wear extremely short skirts to look cool. 13 year-old Guys need to have a Ciggie in their mouths to look cool.Where are we heading??
Rhetoric question.No answer though.

Alright, the fault lies with the way we're brought up: veracity undoubtable, but quite an easy way to shirk responsibility of ur own actions.
If this were the reason behind all our follies, then how come 2 kids from the same parents grow up into different individuals?poles apart sometimes too; the upbringing is the same, ain't it?
You cant attribute the reason behind a certain person's behaviour to one cause alone; one must also take into account his history, the company he keeps, and above all, his own conscience, among other things that dont even strike me right now.
Irrefutably, one's upbringing does mould a person TO A LARGE EXTENT, but there are so many other reasons that distinguish even clones from eachother.
Solution: stop being escapists and learn to take account of ur own actions;
For Parents: give some more time to your kids. "They need ur presence more than ur presents"
