Childhood Innocence: A Deceptive Perception

When you children playing outside in your neighborhood laughing and having so much fun their friends, you look at them and think to yourself saying “children are so innocent and they have zero care in this world, I wish I could go back. Being an adult isn’t really all that cracked up to be.” But the way you think about those children could change if the situation changes to a circle of those same kids around two kids laughing and pushing them around, one on the ground covering up their face and flinching because there is a bigger kid standing right above them. You start to say “why are they beating those kids up? Times are changing? Kids are just horrible these days. I need to help those kids or should I call the police?” For that reason

Well in this situation there are no parents are around and if they are they don’t talk or interact with their child so the child has to find for themselves or even if they don’t want to find out their friends will either peer pressure them into tagging along or they’ll lie to them saying that they’re going somewhere else that they’ve been warned about. Children and adults are nosey and like to see things that their not supposed to. So when someone says don’t look everybody going to look because its natural reaction just as when you tell a child don’t do this and they turn around and do it anyway , it’s just a natural reaction. Children can up end in situations that you would question yourself and ask how is that even possible? And it’s because of parents negligence and going to friends outside or at school thinking of things to do just
