simplethoughts

A shocking thing to heard from a 12 year old kid who just finished his PSLE
and getting his results on 20th Nov, this Thursday.

which made me had alot of thoughts after the whole event

Wordy post....

Today I went to cover an event
It's a boys school(keeping the school's name confidential) having a small camp on building confidence... a primary school....
there were onli around 16 students
heard that many dropped out of the camp due to unkown reasons
whom i think they had missed alot
even though some who have been forced into the camp
i think it's truely a unforgettable experience for them

i didnt cover the whole camp event
but a small part, a 4 hour workshop that was held by Jensen
a self discovery workshop
to help them prepare for their secondary 1 life
(how many schools are doing that to help the students??)

the start of the workshop was kinda chaotic
the boys were so hyper that they can make any laughter out of a tiny little things
in my mind, i thought... "hai! another bunch of pampered kids!"

but after the break that we had,
when the teacher called them together
and talked to them
making them reflect on their actions

there was a very much improvement on their behaviour
although i still thinks that kids nowadays are so pampered in the family
1 xbox not enough! still got xbox360... computer.... blah blah blah....

at my time, i dun even have a handphone
but now they are holding, Nokia Nseries phones....
opps i sound so old suddenly

back to the topic
after the activities that Jensen had with them that was chaotic at the first part
they "tamed down"
and had a little talk session with Jensen about What makes you happy? How happy are you?
the boys started opening their heart
and had a heart to heart talk with Jensen

some shared somethings that many family are facing:
- biasness towards the younger slibings
- wanting more freedom
- no more nagging from parents
- parents not listening to the child
- accusing or blaming the child of what they had not done
- elder slibings bully

i guess some of us can really some similarities.

A boy who had made the biggest impression to all of us
Was this boy named Daniel
His happiness level out of 10/10 was -10/10
He said:
- he wants his father to die and go to hell
- wants his mother to die very badly and go to hell
- wants WWIII to happen
- wants to be knocked down by a car
- wants 100 million dollars to buy alot of lambo, ferrari, things that he wants and a nuclear bomb to bomb the whole world and kill everyone in this world

THEN! he will be happy.

Jensen asked him what was the most happiest thing that happened to your life?
He replied:"I am very happy that I heard that my great great great great great and alot of greats... grandfather's GOOD friend was Hitler."

He didnt seems to have anything that he is really happy about for a kid
he also mentioned that he had his 12years of life in this world
saying that this world is so ugly

Den what do you like in your life now?
He said:
- My room which is painted black from the walls to the floor which he forced his dad to paint it for him, and in return, he slapped his father, and said thank you woman, cos he thinks his father acts like a woman
- My fren who lend me play his xbox360, which cos his fren got more games den him

Hai... What is happening to this kid who is just 12years old.
who is so open about his feelings to even share with everyone who was there
did he want attention?
I had alot of WHYS in my mind
but i am really glad that there is now alot of help that is going around to help students from younger age to manage their feelings and emotions, understand about themselves, motivations...

how i wish i had these kind of help last time...
comparing them to myself that time at their age
i was just so innocent and didnt know the word F*** till i was around sec 1

i really hoped they will make use of what they learn
cos its really a valuable lesson in their life
that they might not have a chance to have it again
