Where is the love ?

This morning i read a newspaper and was shock about one of the news.

13 years old boy killed a 45 years old lady over a bicycle he does not own.The lady who was his neighbor is feel sorry for him because he cannot go to school any longer.So the lady often asked him to work at her lawn and do some errand in exchange of food and cash.

The boy interested in the old lady bicycle that he saw in her garage.The boy asked the lady a couple of times to give the bicycle to him,but the lady always ignore him.

The boy got disappointed and planning to kill the lady in result the death of the lady and he also injured the maid that also working at lady's house.

Can you imagine a 13 y.o boy ? When i was his age...i did not even have a sightliest idea on holding a grudge against anybody that much.I watch a lot of goggle V movies with a lot of "action" in it...but still it never cross my mind.

Not that i never feel disappointed at that age.Its just if i disappointed at somebody i simply does not want to show my face around that guy anymore....not kill him/her.

This case is more about value...what do you taught to your offspring about life.About love and compassion.With that kind of attitude that kid will never have an abundant life...never.

It is too bad that the newspaper does not collaborate more about his family background and stress on the event.

For me,this event remind me of my job as a parent.Make me think about it really careful and thank God i also seen a nice little kids out there and i want my child to be like them.

Maybe the lack of raw model is one of the problems with kids nowadays.

For all of you who read this post....please do as hard as you can to be a model for the child among you....you just never know what kind of influence you give to them...neither you realize it or not.

when i was 13 y o, there are only 3 things in my mind
1. buy more and more comics
2. read and read again candy candy, topeng kaca and other similar japanese manga
3. have a crush on my class mate

hmm... not a good model to my daughter i think.
