In my view, children are inclined to believe what adults tell them, at least when they're quite young. It is easy to mould childrens' minds into certain ways of thinking, in our day we had Sunday Schools, and we believed the Bible Stories, we "believed" in the benevolent old gentleman in the sky, who watched our every thought, word, and deed.

We even "believed" in Father Christmas! Then, as your mind expands and developes, you start to question those "beliefs", and suddenly, the realisation hits you. Those adults whom you looked up to and respected, (Teachers, Parent's, Policeman ect.) have all been spouting lies! Lies, just to keep you "behaving yourself", to keep you "submissive", to keep you "in your place".

Once the realisation hits you that you've been consistantly lied to and decieved, it's perfectly understandable that you are not going to believe a word anyone tells you, ever again.

This is happening in our society, as children of a younger and younger age, have their beliefs shattered, when they watch adults argue, fight, get drunk, take drugs, and generally misbehave. Is it any wonder that the kids today are "older than their years," and lose their "innocence" so fast?

That's partly why fifteen year old boys carry AK47's onto public transport, why they have no "respect" for Law and Order, they are angry that they've been lied to, and want to redress the balance.

As adults, we feel exactly the same way when we realise that our Leaders, Scientists, and Experts are constantly lying to us. It makes us just as angry as those kids, but we have different ways of showing it.
