Mystic Rose Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 The imaginary creatures and beings that children are taught to believe in only to realize they're not real...........i.e. Santa, Easter bunny, Tooth fairy........... Do you think it's really lying to teach them that they exist? Or do think it helps them to build imagination? What about when they become of school age and are around other children who don't believe and are made fun of because they still do? And what about Halloween? It has a dark past....what do you tell them when they want to know about the origins of the holiday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONES Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 I think it is a lie and man Halloween is just another holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephisto Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 I guarantee that if you walk around on the sidewalk and ask a random group of people what Halloween is about, very few of them will know. Now, it's all about who gets the most candy and makes the scariest costume. About the imaginary creatures, little kids need something to believe in. They will eventually grow out of it. I guess I was a smart kid. I learned at an early age and it didn't phase me at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONES Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 (edited) As a kid you look up to your parents then one day your on the school bus and you get into a fight with some punk who is making fun of you 'cause mommy and daddy told you a fat lie gee thanks but no thanks man. The two people on this earth that I trust start me out with a lie please I feel it has nothing to do with how "smart" a kid is for me it is a stupid thing for some parents to do jeez and the load of crap we got about Halloween another reason why I feel religion is a load of poop. Man I would not lie to my kids not that I want any please this world is so full of hate, war etc.... I just feel it is selfish for me to bring a life into this world and thank god my b/f feels the same way. Edited July 23, 2006 by Pink20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperDuper Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 It didnt bother me as a kid really....I mean at least it gives them something to think aboutand when they discover they're not real it's like 5 minutes of crying and thats it. I guess there's no real point to it but it's just like story books innit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
