The effects of war on a child soldier


The child soldiers that live through the war are very tramitized by the expierience. What they were forced to do as soldiers is very hard to talk about and can really bother a former child soldier. This is why there is a very high depression rate in child soldiers. Another major reason that many child soldiers feel like this is because most child soldiers are taken at a very young age. Most children are are 7-18 years old when they are taken from their families. This is a huge problem in Africa and is trying to be stopped by the government of some countries. With alot of help we can stop this problem.
