I made this picture after i watched the world vision show about Guy in Africa and how he was talking about the LRA and how children were ubducted and how a girl had to kill her two friends. It shattered my heart, how can this happen to such innocent little children? I gave more thought today and just pictured little kids running around laughing playing with thier new presents from Christmas, then the kids who have been forced into fighting for a cause they dont even believe in, where people are killed for no reason and so savagely.... it cant happen, i mean its so not right, there is absolutely no justification for murder and torture, i want to do something, i want to help change things, and it hurts me because i am only 18 years old and dont have a lot of money to do much...

btw, here is the picture i made....




Pretty powerful stuff, i dunno, i just want to make a difference and I know you guys/girls are open, compassionate and respectful of everyones feelings..

Note: this is NOT an official WorldVision or Coilition to Stop Child Soldiers document, and purely expresses how I feel

I agree on the child soldiers issue....but as a general thing, yes, there is a use for murder and torture. Simple war tactics. That and population control...overcrowd the world, it becomes "survival of the fittest"....then all that's left are the ones strong enough to kill the weak. At least this way the strong-minded, weak-bodied still have a fighting chance.

I really believe they prey on children because they are easy to brainwash at that age. The young and innocent have always been targets for recruitment by cowards!

i find it really sad, that thier lives are destroyed for a cause they dont even believe in, that they are forced to kill friends family and others.... it makes me so sick to think that people could do that to little children, boys and girls.

some people take what they have for granted, thinking that they will get unlimited chances. some poor kids in some countries dont even get the first chance, letalone any others.
