What is Child Labor? Child labor is something that puts children in a dangerous environment and stops children from getting the education they need. Children are usually forced into working because their families can’t afford anything Children start working at a young age, sometimes they could start working at the age of 5. At that age no child should even know how to do a adults job. They shouldn't be forced into work and get their education taken away just because their family can’t afford a lot. At a young age a child should be learning how to add and subtract numbers or be learning how to finger paint, not risking their lives every day to just get paid a poor amount of money that doesn’t give them enough to live off of.

Industrial Revolution
If you were a child soldier in a conflict. You had to kill, if not they would have killed you. So practically it was kill or be killed. Children died before they even lived, they were traumatized. After the children would come back they could barley be around other children. They needed therapists to help but they barley had any back then. Little girls that were stolen from their families were recruited mostly for sexual reasons.
