Feb 10- Boy run away after stealing $2 for mum's birthday gift

After reading this article, I was extremely shocked about this boy. I was wondering how can he survive in malaysia, an unfamiliar place to him with $350. It was also quite kind of the man to let the boy to stay at his place. Most people will think that it is an insensible act of him but think again, he was just scared that his parents will send him to boy's home for stealing $2. Once again, why did he steal that pathetic $2? His main motive is to buy a present for his mum because his mum's birthday was round the corner. All happen because of this virtue call filial. What really touched my heart was his letter that was left behind before he went off. He mentioned that he do not want his rest of his brothers to follow his footstep, this proved that he knew that he was wrong and felt ashamed about it. His mother also did not give up searching for her son. So in the end, the most heartwarming scence was the reunion of the mother and son as both embraced together. I believed that his mother would not be angry with her son and i think that everybody should forgive that little boy who is only 13 years old. I believe that everybody should deserve a second chance.

Feb 4- Girls make pact to slash themselves

There is a recent trend that girls are starting to do some foolish acts and to my amazement, the girls' age can start from as early as 12 years old. One of this foolish acts is taking a knife and slash their hands.I believe part of the reason is due to the senario of a girl using keys to slash her legs in a drama series at channel 8. I feel that this send out a message or can say that the viewers misread the message and follow that actress to do such a foolish act. However, the society should start to think why the younger generation is doing such a foolish thing, find out the root of the problem and solve it as quick as possible. I think that the gap between the parents and the children is getting bigger. What the children do the parent is not aware that is something quite serious as this prove that nowadays children are getting off the hands of parents. I think the government should promote the message of cherishing our body and frostering good bonding among family. School should also give counselling to these students as they might have stress that they are facing , thus doing these act. The friends should also discourage their friends who are attempting to do these foolish thing.
From this article, I learnt that in life, people should be strong and face their upcomin g challenge. Do not because of certain things and do such acts to our body. Remeber cherish our body, our body is innocent!
