I have been scanning through Youtube for good songs this evening, when out of the blue, there is this comment about a kid who has talent, so I looked it up, the kid was pretty young, but I was amazed by the number of Views in his videos; 500 Million Plus and counting. I was amazed, the kid was good (Fair enough for a kid of his age), and scanning through the video comments were very good messages of praise, I mean yeah he is good so he deserves those comments. But continually scrolling down I saw a certain comment which is very inappropriate, it was hating on the kid.
The comment was profound, senseless, profane, inappropriate & insulting. It wasn't the only comment like that, comments like and I am quoting. 'This kid is gay." , "His voice sounds gay.", "f****** auto-tuned". And many more. It is very heartbreaking to see people bash kids all around the Internet, especially aspiring artists. But what creeps me out is the immediate assumption of these people that kids with talent are gay. Well no. These kids have dreams and quite big, why not support them? Why not shut our mouths or control our itching fingers and stop commenting hate messages? Dudes there are better stuff that you should worry about other than the voice of a 8-10 year old who has talent. Why not do something that is worth your time? Why not do something that will help the world? Why not be like this kid who has guts to post his videos amid the wide number of negative thinkers and people in the Internet. Are we this childish? Are we this immature? To do this? Let us all be mature.
This is how I see it, I see it IN the eyes of a teen.

Unorganized Diary Entry 1 [Violence]
A clear act of Violence shook the U.S. once more, 3 Killed and Hundreds injured after 2 Bombs exploded in Boston, during the annual Boston Marathon. One of the casualties was an eight year old boy.
Violence, In every rifle that is fired, in every bomb or IED that explodes a kid is surely to be affected, he might lose his dad or mom, or worse he might lose his own life. Many children have already died because of these violence, incited by war, hatred, personal vendettas, acts of terrorism, carelessness, anger. It breaks our hearts to see children being exploited or being affected by all these violence. I can only imagine the reaction of the Family of the children who died out of violence, those who lost sons and daughters, the people who lost their brothers and sisters and the friends who lost their companions and playmates.
Imagine, that those children who have died because of these violence are tomorrow's future in the field of medical sciences, one may have the cure for cancer, one may be a great general, a leader... But what happened? The future doctor who has all the answers on how to cure cancer, died in an explosion, killed in a shootout, murdered. The next great leader who will put his/her country in the pedestals, died in a crossfire in Afghanistan. It is really a terrible loss. And in the eyes of a teen . It is just gruesome, to learn that the environment you live in is unstable, that in a moments notice your brother or sister, friend or even you might get killed.
Violence must stop, because it does not only affect people and communities. It affects the Children. Children that will be our tomorrow.
