Iraqi Children Grow Violent

"While I was having dinner with my father last night, I laughed at something he told me. “Yousif wants to join Star Academy [the Lebanese version]!”. I kept laughing and laughing because I know that Yousif, our neighbor’s son, is only 4 years-old.

Yousif is like all other Iraqi children who are deprived of their beautiful childhood. Instead of spending his time in a children library or an amusement park, he spends it either in the street or in watching TV shows which adults always watch. When my father told me this, I realized that children in Iraq need to learn many things and I think the first step should be taken by parents."
