Today

I came home,
I lay my things down on the kitchen counter.
I sit down and my eyes start to wonder,
looking around for things to occupy my mind.
I see the news paper,
it reads to me "8 year old charged for murder of father"
I read this article that so abruptly caught my eye.
This 8 year old kid, living with his father,
The father rented a room with his friend.
So apparently the kid was living with his father,and fathers friend.
and there had been calls of abuse from the neighbors,
but no one thought much of it.
This 8 year old kid, took a shotgun and shot his dad, and dad's friend.
and is being charged for murder, and might get juvenille or execution.
They say in this article
"This kids only 8, there's no way he could understand what he was doing would have such great effects."

So I sit stunned at the society today.
No, this kid knew what he was doing.
That's the problem nowadays.
Us kids, we grow up sooo fast.
We're forced to grow up, in a society that rushes us.
If we dont start understanding at a young age,
we'll never catch up.
and if we stay young and dont mature,
we're outcasts to all the other kids, who grew up faster.
and we're all alone, and weird, and strange, and freaks.
So we force ourselves to grow up.
When really, we shouldn't grow up too fast.
But we do.
and it really upsets me.
