The Similarities Between A Couple And Shykesha Kee

Hello, it’s your ten-year old niece Shykesha Kee. Everyone is doing well mostly, but the jobs we have require a lot of us. You wrote and asked last time what sort of outfits I wore and how my appearance has changed somewhat over the time you have been away. Well, I’m wearing a worn and frayed gray dress that has buttons down the top of it and pockets on the skirt, but on my feet I have on black boots that fit well enough. Most of the outfits I wear are similar to the one I described, and most fit comfortably. Sometimes I pull my hair back so it is out of my face, but at other times I leave it in simple braids. I haven’t changed that much, except for the fact that I look tired all the time and I look as if I have aged more than my actual years.
We are constantly watched over to make sure that what we are doing is right. The working conditions are horrible. We are driven for long hours to work (and the hours are unyielding), it is extremely hot, very unsanitary, loud, and there is a lot of lint and dust floating around (which isn’t so good to breathe in). The earnings are low, the disciple is uncalled for (they beat children mercilessly, some may get water thrown upon them to keep them aware and awake), there is a growing division between males and females, and accidents are common because of the danger that surrounds us with the machinery .The machinery is unsafe, and often people (especially children) are hurt on the machinery. With there being more machines, you see people moving about more trying to handle so many, and with this you see it affecting them (plus it’s dangerous). Children walk around with no shoes on, and are around the unsafe machinery not thinking of the harm that can befall them if they so much as have an accident. From working long hours, they say I have aged beyond the small amount of years I have on this earth. Looking around
My parents barely make enough money per week, so that is why they want me and my siblings to work as to bring in more income. Employers look for child labor, and since adults are paid so low children must work to help their families. We are living in poverty, in the mill houses, which are small and cramped. With working-class family’s children are commonly sent off to work and not school. It is difficult because with working I am being pushed to miss out on gaining an education. I am being pushed to work in unpleasant conditions, where my health is being affected, and where at any time I could be harmed because of the machinery I work with. What are some reasons why children are being pushed to work, not the reasons they do it, but what are the reasons children are being relied upon by others to work in such conditions? Child labor is being depended on a lot. Our size, us children, is one of the reasons we are chosen to work. Also, because we can be trained/taught what we need to do, and do the same work an adult could do. Another reasons why children are pushed to work is because their parents/families need the money (even rich families push their children to do work, but with the rich and the middle class their children still get to go to school, but not children with families apart of the work class, these kids (including me) are made to work). Another reason would be that with the level of products that were being demanded, children were
