Child Soldiers A lot of poverty stricken countries use children from ages five to seventeen in warfare. They take children from their homes‚ and turn them into deadly killers. When the children come back to their homes‚ they are seen as outcasts and untrustworthy. They have no education‚ or social skills.

Have you ever wondered what happens to child soldiers after the war ends? People debate on whether they should be postulated for committing war crimes. I think they shouldn’t be prosecuted for what they have done as kids because they were fighting in the war. I personally think that the child soldiers shouldn’t be sent to jail.

What we don’t do is actually take time to really focus and understand completely what the point of the movie is or what it is trying to get across to the audience.

I think reporters should get involved. If it is a life or death situation for someone else or a criminal goes by they should get involved. Many people think reporters should just do their job. What if the people that said that statement get put in the same situation with their job? In these situations a lot of pressure is put on reporters.
