i don;t have blood on my hands and i donot intend for that to change any time soon . this place has atttempted to rob me of my childhoood at every turn and i will not apologiize for clinging ti what i still hhave . i know that being a kid in this world doesnot matter bcause i have constantly been held to the saame standard as a dults. and i donot think it’s fair but i adapt as i need to . i know where i am and i don;t need you to telll me . kids are still learning. the absence of parents is nnot a choice . i think we deserve some gra ce but if you won’t offer it then thatis up to you

also uh. what? you can't just expect kids to follow the same set of rules as adults. no matter how much this place forces kids to face adult situations, it just doesn't work that way. A child's mind is *fundamentally* different than an adult's. "grow up" isn't an option. yes, they will have to make some decisions they shouldn't have to make, but you cannot expect them to understand everything that is happening when a decision is made.
