After reading your comments, I thought I should follow up. Many of you found it shocking how the government used children as pawns in the revolution. In class, let's discuss and research the use of children in civil wars. When has it happened in the past? Why does it happen? What effect does it have on the children and society as a whole?

In the comments, share any articles you can find on this topic, as well as your thoughts and insights. Try to find sources that other students haven't looked at yet.
