In Africa, Middle East, and Central Asia, being in war


the children knowledge has been effected. Such as the
following, atrocities rape, families being murdered, or
being forced to be child soldiers have left lasting trauma.
(Reynolds)

Here are two boys who are child soldiers. When they were
younger they parents were killed and the boys were taken
and forced to be child soldiers. Now they smoke and are
fighting with a very dangerous group. Being a child

soldier can really harm your children and have many


negative effects, so if us the people over rule the idea
of child soldiers the children can then get the education
they need in life and become a somebody someday. Tons
of children are being killed at a very young age. Over the
last ten years, two million children have been killed in
conflict. Over one million have been orphaned, over six
million have been seriously injured or permanently
disabled and over ten million have been left with serious
psychological trauma (Children in Conflict: Child
Soldiers).
