If you live in Australia you probably would have heard about the terrible murder of Elliot Fletcher, a 13 year old boy who was stabbed by an other boy at his school and died in hospital.

Honestly, what the fuck.

What is being done about teenage violence? Oh right. Nothing.

Everyone seems to have it stuck in their mind that teenagers do it because of some mental issue, because of frustration at school, or bad home environments and upbringings. I'll tell you something that I know surer than i know anything else.

I know people like this. I know people who hurt people, to take peoples things, who frequently leave their peers in gutters unconcious. I'll tell you why the do it. Because they fucking find it fun. They cure their boredom with their own pathetic, dead-end road lives by hurting other people, by taking their things, by watching them bleed.

They do it because they can. Because they know that as long as the guy lives, and doesn't end up in hospital, they're not going to have anything happen to them. Nothing is done until someone ends up fucking dead.

dead.

They say they're trying to reduce the 'demand' for violence, instead of doing anything worthwhile. They're trying to help kids who want to hurt people for fun. They don't need help, they need to be locked up and taught a fucking lesson.

Nothing is done to adress the problem. These people, who go out every weekend and hurt others, they're the people who end up accidentally or purposely taking someone's life. Only then is something done.

No one understands that they only do it because they know everyone's scared of them. They know that the police might become aware - but what will they do? Even in the rare case that they are caught, they might, at the most be given a curfew for 9 o'clock. They might be put on probation. Oh okay, so you can only go out and hurt people during the day, and you can hurt people as long as you can run away before they catch you.

Ridiculous.
