When children are forcibly recruited as soldiers, it masses up their whole life. Children have no choice but to become a soldier.

 * Some countries use children as soldiers. It is terribly sad.

We can't let that happen. Why have we failed so miserably to protect these children? Because we lack the will. We should help them. HOW? Let's find it out.

We should KNOW about the child soldiers. We should CARE and we should act. We should put our words into ACTION. || media type="custom" key="18957212" ||

This video is about Joseph Kony. He is a terrible criminal. What he does is kidnapping kids and giving them guns and make them kill their parents and siblings. Children have no choice but to join his army once they caught by Kony. I chose this video because this reveals the seriousness of the problem regarding child soldiers in a very powerful way. media type="custom" key="18362140" Kony 2012

This video is part of the Kony 2012. It shows us what happens if we care others who are in need of our help desperately. It have aroused a lot of interests from people around the world through SNS. media type="custom" key="18549758" Kony 2012 Part 2 media type="custom" key="18492638" Documentary about Child Soldiers. This video is how cruel it is in Liberia and how could Liberia do to protect their future. I felt that I should do the same thing as them so I could protect their future too. media type="custom" key="18492750" Only Hope- Mandy Moore I put this song here because I think it matches with the situation of the child soldiers. Book: I think this book is a great book because this book taught me about the child soldiers specifically. It was so shocking that when children were forced to kill their family and friends. Many of them were reluctant first, but their initial felling into rage that erase all sensibility.

First Kill Your Family I chose this book because in this book Peter has actually went to Africa and it is written based on his actual experience of Child Soldiers tragedy. He also provided information about the war's foundations in Uganda, it helped me understand the complicated conflicts in Africa.

I think this website was great because this site has shown me the world map of the child soldiers. Even though it is from 10 years ago it still helped me.

Online Articles: //When Is a Child Not a Child? Child Soldiers in International Law- Claire Breen, Human Rights Review 8(2), 2007.//

I think this article was useful for me because it gave me information about the international laws to protect children from being child soldiers. I could see how the international organizations have made efforts to protect children in wars.
