    to shut out the world’s phony rituals and mourn and suffer in their own private way? Or are they foolishly blocking out the horrors of war?

    Kids will be kids‚” they said‚ but they stop believing that statement when a youngster commits heinous actions. I strongly agree with not sentencing juveniles or charging them as adults‚ they do not have the capacity of reasoning their actions. A brain is not at its full development at a young age.

Line 1: "passing-bells" is a tolling of a bell to announce a soul is passing‚ or has passed‚ from its body.
