Today I had a History exam where I wrote about dictators such as Hitler. I had to look at how he brainwashed children into doing the unthinkable.I saw a patten between Hitler and political leaders today all over the world and in the near past.
We find it unbelievable that children were brainwashed into doing stuff that the sane, normal person what never do. but this is not in the past. IT IS STILL HAPPENING!
Children are being brainwashed into the act of violence at a young age to create young soldier to fight for pozy and stupid polices and reasons that have nothing to do with them. This would be not allowed in England so why is this allowed in other places such as Afghanistan and the Congo.
Its enough that they are forced to live in some of the poorest conditions in the world but when they're forced into fighting in the conflict themselves, it causes psychological and physical damage that can often never be repaired. No child devises this, it isn't right.
Look at the photo above and look into that child's eyes, can you see. What do you see? You know what i mean.. the pain she is in, she is alone and has no hope because of the attitudes of many (the greedy and the rich) but she might have a chance if we fight, for her and all the hundreds of thousands of children just like this one.I looked at some of the images and i was in shocked by what i saw... im not going to start to describe what i saw as it makes me sick.

The story of Agnes:
When Agnes was 10 she was abducted from her family’s vegetable garden by rebels from the Lord’s Resistance Army.
When Agnes was 11 she was forced to kill another child who had tried to escape.“They told me if I do not kill that person, they will kill me”
When Agnes was 12 she was raped by one of the rebel commanders who took her as one of his ‘wives’.
When Agnes was 13 she managed to escape...
With help from a farmer, she fled to a nearby army barracks. A few weeks later she was reunited with her sister “She was jumping up and down and raced to hug me. Then the rest of the family raced over. I was crying, she was crying, we were all crying.”
Now Agnes is 18. It’s impossible to truly understand what she’s been through in those horrific few years. But it’s easy to understand how War Child is helping to transform her life. Having taken her childhood, we’re determined that the rebels won’t destroy her future too.
Agnes is an orphan and her uncle can’t afford to pay for her education. But with your help we’re paying for her to attend a special boarding school that provides a safe, nurturing environment where she can rebuild her life. “If I pass my exams I want to be nurse because I want to help people and make sure I can make enough money to look after my family”
“AT NIGHT I DREAM ABOUT WHAT I HAVE DONE AND I WAKE UP CRYING”
