Social Studies - SEEL Paragraph - Child Soldiers

SEEL Paragraph

Lately, in Social Studies, we've been learning about child soldiers. All across the world children are recruited into armed groups. They are used as human shields, suicide bombers, guards at checkpoints and more. Because they are so young, they can be manipulated into joining the armed forces so easily because they fool them into believing inaccurate facts. They take away their rights and freedom and use them to do their bidding. Children die all of the time in battle. Which is so sad because they barely got a chance to live their life. Some children join the group by choice to get revenge on people who killed their families. Girls are used for sexual entertainment and are raped all of the time. Sexual abuse, arranged marriages and other things are also included. It's illegal to do these things, it's against the law. Children are not supposed to be involved in war. Every human on this earth deserves to have Human Rights and child soldiers and slaves do not have these rights.
