I work at Walmart and see so many kids who look just like that one. They slowly waddle around the store with their mouths agape and beady eyes already filled with a searing contempt for all living things. They’re constantly muttering and moaning about how gay and retarded everything is and will throw unbelievable temper tantrums with no clear warning or cause; they don’t even want ice cream or a toy they just snap and start screeching. Some kids you look at and can tell that they have a wonderful future ahead of them but these kids you just know will wind up in trailer parks at best, and the worst part is that they’re usually relatively well-off.

I also remember them from when I was young. They hated school as both a concept and a physical location and would make it very clear to everybody that they don’t want to be there and will fight tooth-and-nail the entire learning process. They would also compulsively steal things, even if they already had the same thing or something better themselves. Even when caught red-handed they would swear they didn’t do anything, and they genuinely believed they didn’t do anything wrong because their minds don’t process their bodies’ hyperaggression.
