Why are people so obsessed with children? I'm not just talking about paedos, just... everyone. Every night on the news, something about children. Everyone's always talking about their children. We're always asked to think of the children.

I like kids, I really do. Hell, I want to be a teacher, I gotta like kids. I'm not attacking kids - I'm attacking these overzealous brain-dead parents and media personnel who constantly bombard us with stuff about children.

But seriously, this child obsession has gone far enough. Everyone thinks their kid is cute: we don't need to hear it constantly.

It's as though there's this whole child fixation in recent times. Everybody's obsessed with their children, spoiling children, concern for the mental health of children (hmmm...), raising perfect children, the behaviour of other peoples' children, and saving the children, and "what about the children?" and thinking of the children.

No wonder there's so many paedophiles - the whole world is focused on children, there's bound be some people to develop a demented sexual fixation on them!

And no wonder there's so many fucked up kids! No one leaves them alone for a god damned second! Shite, kids are so sheltered and over-protected these days, from any danger that could ever possibly befall them except to what's taught to them by the television these days, which, in my opinion, is a lot more dangerous than playing out in the woods or riding a fuckin' bicycle.

Actually I think it's kind of the opposite.

They are our future, whether we like it or not. We might as well invest some time into them.

Hm. I'm still a child, I guess, so I'll post my opinion. I'm thirteen, and I hate this obsession with protecting children that do not need to be protected as much as everyone seems to think they do. Honestly, I have to agree with you. I know more than people think I do about things people probably think a thirteen year old shouldn't know. But I probably would not care if it hadn't been 'hiden' from me. When I was younger, I never knew what was up with my dad. And then he died. I never knew him, not really, because people were trying to shelter and protect me. And it just made me really fucked up when I finaly found out about it last year. That was my father, just stolen from me, as far as I saw it. I never knew him, and now I never will. And this is just one example. This happens all the time, every day, to a LOT of children. And the truth is, nobody is helping them by doing this. You're making things worse, for the most part. Teach them to care for themselves, teach them how to be responsible adults. Don't try to hide things, to protect them from the big bad world out there. Children always know way more than people give them credit for, and can usualy be good listeners, good to talk to, give good advice. But nobody goes to them, because the want to protect them, don't want to upset them, don't want to tell them anything that they shouldn't, and don't want to 'spoil' they're innocence or whatever. And I'm fed up with it. I'm done. I'm done with it, with everything. And for now, this post is done.
