It's easy for me to go back to being a kid. You know how kids can be like savages before they get civilized? There's that sadist quality. Y'know, like boys who like to pick apart an insect for the sake of it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In plain terms, a child is a complicated creature who can drive you crazy. There's a cruelty to childhood, there's an anger.
My life as a child did not prepare me for the fact that the world is full of cruel and bitter things.
Kids are pretty brutal.

Young children are such nasty little beasts!
There is a 'sanctity' involved with bringing a child into this world: it is better than bombing one out of it.
One of the most painful things in the Western States and Territories is the extinction of childhood. I have never seen any children - only debased imitations of men and women, cankered by greed and selfishness, and asserting and gaining complete independence of their parents at ten years old.
Somehow it seems that all parents are certain that they themselves were victims of abuse in school and that they will not allow this to happen to their children. Even though children can also be the cruelest group imaginable - especially the cutest of them.
Kids are very cruel to each other.
Cruelty to children is the thing I can least bear in the world.
