i remember in my childhood we used to indulge in cruel games such as catching butterflies,bird..sometime killing them in the chase or after the chase..not excluding punishing street cats and dogs..poking them just for the heck of the"fun".now i regeret over these "great games".still i see kids doing same things and way above...even though it is out of curiosity they do these things but no doubt they rejoice in it a lot..the Q is are children as innocent as they are portrayed to be??this is just another sweet myth..

I would have to say I strongly believe all children are born sweet and innocent but over time as they make freinds and are subjected to the opinions and actions of others they see another option to being good as their parents and schoolteachers tell them to do. Everyone even adults like the thrill of defying gravity at fairgrounds adn rocketing to the moon, as adults we still ike to know how things work and even in 25 years there are still soem emotions that I can't control or understand adn probably never will.
I do believe that some children are more spiteful than others, but then we all test the water so to speak it is just unfortunate that some peoples morals do not mature from these childhood games and they end up doing cruel things on a larger scale. I would hate to think that my daughter was bullying animals or hurting any living creature but I am sure she will haev her days of pulling legs off insects for the fun of it but i hope that as most of us do she will grow out of it and become a responsible adult who is aware of right from wrong and does not get sad satisfaction from seeing another in pain.
