What do u think the effect of war on children?
Im not only speaking of the children who happen to be in the middle of this war, but also all kids watching news & seeing kids dead.
Aren't we feeding them hatred at a young age? Just a thought. 
Your opinions are appriciated.

 As you and i know,that war affects children in alot of ways of which some are making them homeless,ophans,school drop outs,some even at war fronts etc.
All these happens through no fault of theirs.But the sad aspect of it all is that,the adults fighting these wars are tinking of their own selfish interest needs,and not the best interest of the children.Lets take this case for instance where two opposition parties of a country are all struggling to come into power.If one deciedes not to accept the result of an election they would deciede not to make peace remain in their country be fighting each other.When there is also a misunderstanding between two countries like Lebanon and Isrile,it would always happen.
So, until those who start these things come to realise these things and their effects the issue of children facing war would continue to be aproblem for the world

Today I read in Al-Ahram newspaper today that Ahmed Mostageer - a famous Egyptian Scientist in Hereditiy- was transferred to hospital due to an intra-cerebral haemorrhage after an artrey exploded in his while watching the current blood shed in Lebanon.
That may seem off the subject, but I wanted to say that this may reperesent an effect of the war on Adults, let alone children.
In my opinion, this war has catastrophic results when it come to what it teaches to children. What do we expect a child to hold in his memory when he sees all the damaged houses and the bodies on hourly basis?
I think all of this leaves a big ugly scar in the mentalities of the children, not in Lebanon only but in the whole region.

Kids are the smartest people on earth... they think a lot ...and take nothing for granted.. their age makes them open to differnt perspectives and greater understanding... what we need to do is be frank with them and talk to them about what is happening. explain to them why war is happening ...why it shouldnt happen...' an honest approach' ...
Instead of telling them it is the fight for justice and similar blah blah we should tell them that war is WRONG and it shouldnt happen at any cost... and that there are better ways to solve our problems...
Children Vs War??????
Children = Future
Peace

Obviously war has a devastating effect on children that must live in and around it. I also think children are hurt by exposure to war through the media. Images of war can be very disturbing but even worse than that is the message that war and voilence are acceptable. Children's exposure to voilence, whether it be street voilence or war, teaches that voilence is common place and accepted. People talk about the effect of voilent movies, video games and music on children but that is only half the problem. The other half is a military culture that accepts war and voilence as a normal and neccesary part of life. If we teach children that voilence is an acceptable way to deal with problems, we cannot be suprised when they act out voilently.
