I've just seen the most horrible thing walking home from school. The way the schools are situated a good majority of the secondary and primary students meet around the park/church area of the town. It's always packed at 3.30 and was today. Corey and I were just coming through the church yard and we saw a load of secondary pupils in a huge mob. There were more and more joining in, hanging on the railings to see. In the middle was a young boy getting the crap beat out of him. He only looked about 14, when he was dragged out by someone his face was ruined. They were like animals, there were young children there coming home from nursery and the primary school. One young girl got hit and she was screaming. The police were phoned and luckily the station is only a minute down the road, so the sight of three police cars broke them up.

We were waiting at the bus stop after and some boys were bragging about how they kicked a girl, and others complaining about police harassment, and I just thought, what the hell is wrong with them? The thought of sending Corey to that school frightens me and it's still 4 years away.

I know it's naive but I don't see why anyone has to do things like that.

Well I'll have to be an old main with you then. Like I said to Mouse, no doubt bad things did happen when I was younger, but they seem to be getting worse all the time.

People can be so rude, I hate people that think that the world owes them something so they just take what they want. Like stealing from bags, and curtesy is so easy. Feet belong on the floor, everyone should know that.

I'm fine now though. Thanks hon.

the other day, I saw an old man telling a kid to take his feet off the seat. The kid and his friends started yelling at him - the other adults in the tram told them to shut up, therefore they did. It's very rare to see people actually standing up to those violent kids, unfortunately.

I wish more people would say something, but I also realise that it's hard to speak up when someone is being verbally abusive and shouting.

I'm glad that those people in the tram stood up to that idiot. A victory for those on the side of good for once.
