You can drill everything you want into a kids mind, but that doesn't mean they are going to follow that teaching. Kids are young and always pushing the envelope. They consistently try to see what they can get away with. Doesn't matter if they are two or 16.. they want to press the issue.
In our society of reset buttons, children have a much different view of mortality than we did as kids.
