The rate at which false information speculate is alarming. I don't know why people love to spread false information and i don't know how they profit from it. False information can cause a lot of harm and negative consequences on the society.

Even if it was true, it won't make sense at wll cause the age 12 is just too small, most of them are not even mature mentally and emotionally to handle school life.
