Traumatic Children

Ugh. Homework oh homework. I wish it would stop pouring on me. Tests, exams and pop quizes. I wish they would all just go away. I feel like running away from all the pressure in my early life of pressure. But is that possible? Not in this generation in which toddlers are starting to feel stressed out.

Once you are seventy years old and look into your 'pensieve' to remember your childhood, I don't think it would be a wonderful picture to see yourself studying or loaded with pressure due to extra-curricular activites or as such. Childhood should be full of fruitful and fun-filled times. But in this era, children, starting from the early age of 7, are being stressed out at their own levels due to pressure put in by themselves, their parents, their peers or their schools.
Personally, I definately don't think this is good for the young breed themselves. Stress is eventually going to come our ways as we climb the staircase of life. But why now?

Schools and parents should really think of the child's freedom before taking up any act. I am not saying they should not give homework or send them for extra karate coaching. They should do so but do it with regard to the child's potential and freedom. Schools should not dump homework onto children but rather give it in small installments with fixed due dates. Parents should not force the child to 'make' a hobby or forcefully go for extra-curricular classes but rather, talk to the child and enroll them into the corresponding class with consultation to the child.

These young traumatic children who have a long way to go do not need to be rushing their life. Let them enjoy the ride and destiny will take them their way.

What in the world?

This is in regard to Monica Rez's article in her blog about 'Why Dogs should be killed if chicken are'. And Monica, just so that you know, your article doesn't have a title. You may read the article here.

Below are the points supporting my argument against her debate :


1. Be realistic. Are you practical? If you say no, well then, argument closed. I win. If you say yes, continue reading. If you are really practical, do you think it is completely humane to eat creatures that are not meant to be eaten? Speaking from your angle, human can eat human. That is really unnatural. And so, do you agree human can eat human? If you do, go say the same thing to the public. We'll see what their retort will be.
2. It's totally part of the food chain. Think realistically, Monica. Think of it this way. The world stops eating chicken for one week. Just one week. Only one week. The 8th day you wake up, the roads are gonna be full of chicken.

3. See. Distinguishing between animals is NOT like distinguishing between human. Human is one class here. Animals are a kingdom of creatures. Therefore, some are meant to be hunted, some are meant to be eaten for survival and some are meant to be killed for human needs.
4. Yes, I know that you said you are not saying people shouldn't eat non-veg. This article is just to say I do not think dogs are not meant to be eaten if chicken are. Same applies to penguins, cats, frogs, polar bears and other selected creatures.
