Child Soldiers ( Somali Text Responses) Day 1
Child Soldiers
This girl has most probably volunteered in this war to help her country because there was at her country. Or even to help her family which she might of needed to separated form them to join the war. This girl probably doesn't have a lot of education either, which is something that all children should have a right for. Once the war has finished just like many american soldiers she should get some benefits from the government for risking her life. This could include free education. Even though she has killed some people, she might not know the full story of why she is doing it, but she has to, because she is told too. Child soldiers are innocent children forced through pain and war, after wars are over we should give extra help and protection to these children. This girl has gone through some life threatening things that most weren't her choice, every child deserves a normal life, every child deserves a second chance.
Armed and Underage
After reading this Article I felt like this is a very serious topic which should get more attention and more awareness. These innocent children are under one of the worst conditions and they have been drugged and brain washed to do these things that they aren't supposed to do. But according to Jefferey Gettelman a great amount of these children have never been in a classroom or played in a park. Children like any human all have rights to live a free life and chose what to do. The fact that adults are taking these freedoms away form these kids and are taking advantage of them, because they are not educated or are just in need of food and water, doesn't make it right. Yes, it might of been the child's decision to join the war and army, but after all you cant blame them for there actions. Some children like us are very fortunate and are able to understand that joining war and doing that things that these children are forced to do isn't right, this is because we have an education and a family that cares for us. Imagine being in the position of these kids, its hard to stop reflect and thing about what "should I do", when not only has your family left you, your government has collapsed, and everyday people are dying. Its hard when you have no education and your own life is at risk, if only they knew what it really feels like to be a normal child and live a normal life.
This is how we should think of child soldiers as victims.
- They have been forced or sold by there parents, this was not there choice.
- They are drugged and brained washed.
- Have no education or maybe don't have a family that takes care of them.
- They are just kids and are easy to manipulate.
- They are killed if they don't follow directions.
- They are taken advantage.
- Miss treated and raped
- They are scared if they don't follow directions they might get killed, so they kill people to survive.
This is how we should thing of child soldiers as Prepertators
- It was there choice
- They could run away from the camps
- Its a universal thing to know that killing is bad
- They could harm others even after the war
- They could make more conflicts
- They have killed many innocent lives
- They could become terrorist.
