Children are also part of the war. During conflicts many people are affected, including the little ones. They suffer pain and sadness. They have seen destruction and death, something that is better to avoid when we are children. Childhood should be a beautiful and fun experience. Unfortunately, we can’t say that all the children are living this experience. In this picture we see the effects of war on children.

​

In the foreground, in the centre, there is a child standing, he is holding two teddy bears. He may be watching something interesting. On the left side, another boy is also standing. He must be older than the first child. A little further back, on the right, we can see two more boys. One of them is riding a red tricycle, although, now he isn’t moving. Next to him, there’s another boy. He is carrying a backpack. It may be heavy. The four children must be scared, because if we look at the background of the image, all we see is debris and collapsed building. The city where they are must have been bombed. 

​

These children make me feel concern. They aren’t living their better days. It’s not fair that

they have to experience all these emotions and situations, while other, also the responsible

of their unhappiness, are living as if nothing of that is happening. War is something that

should be stopped. We have to do something; we have to help the poor children.
