We all have met kids who were mischievous, rebellious, or aggressive to others right. But are they still innocent? Someone on Threads yesterday believed kids who bully should be treated like adult criminals.
Now, that statement alone says a lot about what the writer has been through.
I’ve seen how bad bullies can be in school, and I still bare the scars. I have learned though that they were kids and still innocent.
My perspective is that that kids do things that aren’t alright, sometimes. Let’s face it – they can bully, damage property and break the law – but they are still kids!
The thing to ask is where are they learning to act like this. Sometimes, this is down to what they witness at home or in community, but not always.
Even when a kid is abused and has their innocence taken from them, they are still the innocent party.
Feel free to challenge my logic in the comments.
