Freedom

Or rather the lack of.

I read the tabloid, my paper, that comes free with the newspaper subscription and was rather disturbed by two articles.

1) Girls should be concentrating on their studies instead of having children, something along those lines, at their teenage years. I don’t see why teenagers can’t be responsible mothers just because the author and the girls at large can’t. My ex classmate wanted to be a teenage mother, not that she was successful at it, and I found that respectable.

2) (Giving up their children after birth or something along that line) is not only a serious offense but a moral issue. Oh wow, and so abortion is a better alternative? And why is abortion not an offense?

There is another article which wrote about how some artists were given free reign to develop something for some mrt stations. And the next line went talking about a board of whoever who will review the art pieces and yada yada. Didn’t they just say free reign?

The reasons why I absolutely abhor reading the papers. Especially in the morning during breakfast. It spoils the day and the appetite.
