Child Slavery
April 4, 2003 - 05:02 AM

I think slavery is horrible.People only have slaves because their lazy and inconsiderate.But what i think is the worst is child slavery.Some children are born into a slave family and don't even get a chance to experience life.They live a life that is not worth living.Some children are taken away from their families who aren't even old enough to remember their own parents.These poor slaves won't even get a chance,a moment to try and find their families.
Some children get a chance to live with their families but get taken away and whipped if trying to get what is a right,their freedom.Just brought to work for nothing even whipped for singing.Some slave masters just whipped children for the fun of it  how horrible.
Please write your thoughts and considerations about slavery.And a question for all the children: How would you feel if you were torn away from your families and put to work for no reason at all? Think about it what if this was you?
The slaves couldn't even sing this song:
Swing low,
sweet chariot,
Comin' for to carry me home...

Child slavery is HORRIBLE!

I agree with your point. Child slavery is just horrible. These children probably don't even know the means of fun or happy. All the meanings of words they probably know of are work, ache, and sadness. Children are the hopes of our future and the slaves had to waste the precious moments of their lives to waste away.
I think that even if slavery is legal and can be done right now, anybody who's even alive shouldn't have to be a slave. The reasons are:
Anyone under the ages of 8 are children, anyone from the ages of 9-12 are youth, anyone from the ages of 13-18 are teens, and anyone from the ages of 19-29 are young adults. These people haven't even expirenced real life and they are still exploring life, so it would be a shame to see them waste their moments of freedom away. The real adulthood for most people is around the ages of 30-39. These people have just understood the real meaning of life and shouldn't have to do anywhere else, but what they wanted to do with their lives. The ages from 40-49 is about the middle age for most people. These people are growing old and need to do what they loved most before it's too late. The ages of 50+ is about people who are pretty old and they need to enjoy life and see what they wanted to see but couldn't in life.
That is why no one should every be enslaved, especially a child.

Whats the piont of life if your childhood is taken away.
Even though slavery was abolished, child slavery continues to grow. Child slavery can be of many reasons one could be that if your a certain race, colour, or culture than you would be a slave. Back then and now people would think that children grow and so they would be good for slavery. When you are a child how would you like to be a slave work day and night? I know most of us wouldn't want to, but think about the boys and girls that have suffred from slavery and some that are still suffering. Before you eat something think about child labour people that suffer from, those children who have to work day and night just to get a peice of bread to eat.

child slavery is a very bad and insane thing to do.firstly the child life is abused and forced to do what they don't intend doing.likei have this example of a woman who lures kids into prostitution in order to take care of their family from what the brings to her and the girl had to have series of abortion and later on she was diagnosed for HIV.what i'm saying is that the goverment has alot to do inthis respect and even NGOs so that this barbaric act can be brought to a stop.

Slavery is wrong. First that they don't get paid at all. Second it is like they are controlled by a remote control. Third is that they get whipped al around. IT IS WRONG!!

CHILD SLAVERY-BAD

Child Slavery is horrible. Children from all over the world are the future of the world and parents too. Children must not be sold or traded. They should be free just like us. Children from Asia are sold and traded to work. A great example is Pakistan. Children from Pakistan works all day long, but chained or caged. They get money but it is not enough for them. Also they get little food to eat. But someone escaped and that is Iqbal Masih. HE is a child, very smart and very nice. He freed more than enough children in Pakistani.
There will be hope to free children who are working in a child labour and hope that someone who will free them.

i totally agree with you. if i was in that situation then i would be trapped, i wouldnt know what to do with anything, but i also would have ran away not know better!!! i would rather end my life then live my life as a slave!!!!Here is a peom by Eloise Greenfeild! It is really touching, just think about the words and tell me what it means to you and what you think about it!!
Harriet Tubman
Harriet Tubman didn't take no stuff
wasnt scared of nothing neither
Didnt come in this world to be no slave
And wasnt going to stay one either
"Farewell!" she sang to her friends one night
She was mighty sad to leave'em
But she ran away that dark, hot night
Ran looking for her freedom
She ran to the woods and she ran through the woods
With the slave catchers right behind her
And she kept on going till she got to the North
Where those men couldnt find her
Nineteen times she went back South
To get three hundred others
She ran for her freedom nineteen times
To save Black sisters and brothers
Harriet Tubman didnt tsake no stuff
Wasnt scared of nothing neither
Didnt come in this world to be not slave
And didnt stay one either

child slavery is bad!!!

I agree that child slavery is horrible! I bet they don't even get a chance to experience life. Also the they barely even get paid. so they could barely get to eat and if they don't eat as much as they are suppose to, they will get weak. the slave owners also take the children's freedom and education.so i think we should stop child slavery and help many children.

I think that child slavery is very wrong and slavery should not exist because evryone should be able to live in peace. People should think of the who are slaves are the exact same as them and there is no point of having slaves. We are all humans and we may not look the same but, everyone is.Children should be able to live there lives and same as adults. People should understand others before they judge them.
This is what I think on slavery.
