There are estimated to be 300,000 child soldiers in the world and 40% of child soldiers are girls!
In the last ten years, 2 million child soldiers have died, 1 million have been orphaned, over 6 million have been seriously injured or permanently disabled, over 10 million have been left with psychological trauma

this graph shows me where In the world are child soldiers and tells me how many are in those countries. I included this graph in because it shows you just how many child soldiers need saving and that there are definitely to many children that are taken from their homes to fight in armed conflict which I think is horrible along with a lot of other people who have tried to stop this problem. I would love to see this graph change immensely over a few years time because slowly war could possibly kill too many people and if we do stop it now it could also save the next generation instead of putting there future in a places where they will most likely be killed because they are not strong enough, they are not brave enough and they are not old enough! If they keep taking these children the children will start to think the same and they could follow in there footsteps and know no better and think it's the right thing to do and then they could continue on with making children soldiers as young as 8 years old and we don't want that!
This graph is showing me how many child soldiers survive, die, get seriously injured and how many get mentally effected. This data is telling me multiple things at once and I chose to put it in because it really shows what the children have to go through. I would love to see this graph change, I want to see it change in the orphan section because it would be good for the kids to atleast be able to live in a friendly environment and I think I would want the death section to change as well so that not so many children are dying and I really would want the whole graph to change I wish there were no more child soldiers. But why children? Because
