child soldiers...
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

I have been doing an english seminar on child soldiers and I honestly did not think I would become so emotional about this. This is absolutely insane. These people actually haave no hearts do they? In Sierra Leone a few years back, they said they were fighting for freedom. FREEDOM? Who was going to be free exactly? All the citizens were dead because of them! Killed by them! Killed by the children THEY recruited! And now Congo is going through the exact same thing, so is Darfur. And what are we doing here? NOTHING. No one knows about it! AH North America is actually the worst place to live because you become so un-informed about the things going on in the world! There are so many organizations trying to help these kids and possibly get them out of these armies. MAybe even end the genocide?? Who knows, maybe a miracle will occurr and people will stop thinking killing other people violently is the answer to everything. (sarcasm)
All these children, even after they are rescued have so much left to deal with. They tend to have violent tendencies, dreams of what they've done and seen, and find it very difficult to open up to anyone ever again. The trauma they face will never go away and here my friends and I are, complaining about the amount of homework we get. I just hate how we all think our life is all there is! Its not! Even I have a hard time understanding that sometimes and I know that its true. I can't imagine what it would be like to realize that if I didn't.
