between humanity and emotions.

yes, i know sometimes i can indeed be carried away a little too far by nothing but my emotions. sometimes, it's really hard juggling between to be insistent that everything should be done according to black and white or to just do what i think is right.

just yesterday after my council meeting i met siow at the guardhouse. chatted up a little and found out that he is expelled- this time for real. this time around, it's because he was caught possesing ciggies.

i know it's wrong smoking. i know it's wrong posessing it in the first place too. but does that mean that he really doesn't deserve a second chance? does that mean that he is a bad guy- the way our moral textbooks descrive students smoking- just because he has this hobby unfavorable to many?

it may not be ideal to smoke, but it's not WRONG to smoke. everyone is different. it's not ideal, but if he likes it, let it be then. it's his prerogative anyway. i just don't think that it's really ruthless for the school to just expel him like that.

he is just fourteen. come on, give him a chance.

many of my friends have this stereotyped impression of him that he is all baddie and stuff JUST BECAUSE he smokes. how can we even judge a person that fast before even knowing him? he smokes, yes. but other than that, i find him a nice guy. he doesn't at all look like the type who will have a million BSLs under his belt.

he is just daring. and that's also because he HAS what it takes to be defiant. i respect him for his guts, although i don't really agree with the way he goes about things sometimes. there are always difference among human beings, but is everyone perfect to an extend where we need no help, no guidance and perhaps no second chances?

he is just different in a major way compared to us, but that alone doesn't make him a bad guy. i find him hysterically amusing, truth be told. he proves many of my friends' assumption that he is just another typical 'shout here shout there niama this that samseng' kid wrong. i remember consulting a few of my friends asking them is he is worht helping, and ALL of them just pronounced an absolute 'NO, NOT WORTH HELPING!' right in my face. and when i ask 'why?' they replied with the typical 'because he smokes'. =.='

WTF. let's blame it in the lack of judgments or inmaturity, whichever you prefer. i still think that he DESERVES a second chance, however you look at it. hello, he is only 14! he has the whole life ahead of him!

he humbly approached me and we talked about his chances of getting accepted again into the school and i dare hope for the best. i can't promise anything but i shall see how things go by wtf thanksbai. please leave your comments in the comment box telling me if he is worth helping or not and why wtf thanks this one true true true dilemma ok!
