Random writing Nr.2

It was a dark humid and shivering cold night in the bad parts of Russia, I had just finished smoking my cigarette and i was walking down the street trying to see my dealer, but when I knocked on the door too his apartment, none answered, which was very weird since he usually stayed at home with the fear of the cops breaking in any moment.
There was none home, but the door was still unlocked and i took one deep breath, opened the door and went inside, it felt like an horror movie, the place was a mess, papers laying everywhere, tables and chairs flipped, the whole room was turn't upside down, but there was something that caught my eye.
In the middle of the floor, it was a small little jewelry box, and inside of the box, there was a small note that said "Don't worry, meet me at midnight by the bridge, come alone".

Random writing nr.1

It was a warm summer day in California, I had just recently broken up with my fiancé after a big fight of me suspecting her cheating on me. And day after day, the more time i spent away from her the aching in my heart for her company started to increase, I got severely depressed after a few months of not seeing the only person i have ever loved in my life.

But it wasn't until i was taking a stroll on the beach, when I saw her laying there, sunbathing in the hot California sun. I actually waited for her to stop tanning so i could go and talk to her, she looked so happy, while I was crushed.

But when I got the courage to go and talk to her again, the only words that spilled from my mouth was "I daren't stay long, I just had to see you."

Can parents do anything to protect their child?

I think they actually can, because it is the parent that controls what the child is doing and what i should not be doing, but as a kid you lie to your parents allot of what you are actually doing, you can tell your parents that you are going to see some friends and watch some movies, but actually you are going to a party, and i think this is mostly the child's responsibilities to control what he is doing.
