Child Soldiers

How would you feel if you were taken away from your parents and forced to fight in the front lines of war, and what if you don’t survive? 300,000 children in more than 30 countries worldwide have became child soldiers and right now, many of them are fighting to the death in war. Child soldiering is cruel, inhumane, and must be stopped.

Child soldiering is catastrophic in many ways. Because of immaturity and lack of experience, many more child soldiers are having fatalities than adult soldiers. Also, they are forcibly taken away from their parents and are forced to experience the horrible and disgusting sights of battle. These kids will only have a few years of childhood to remember when they grow up and will miss important events in their life, like birthdays. So, is this really necessary?

Child soldiering will stop a youth’s life at a young age and if the young soldiers survive fighting, they will not get jobs because lack of education. To help prevent this wrong doing, you can start a website or blog to inform others how wrong it is. Child soldiering is like a nightmare in reality.
