I am not sure where to begin. I am not sure if what I say will even make a difference, and if it does, I will not worry about the credit I get, but more so the credit that will benefit the world.
I may be the only one who notices this, but then again I may be the millionth. The worlds children are fading away, kids are beginning to disappear behind the vicious walls of child labor, and no one is noticing?
1. Employing a child in hazardous conditions is worse than employing an adult in hazardous conditions. Do you agree?
Well, it is worse than an adult. For the simple fact that children are smaller, and less strong than what an adult might be. But if you are comparing the safety of a child being in the same (dangerous) work conditions as an adult you know something is seriously wrong. Why should a child be put in dangerous work conditions like an adult?
2. In places where child labour exists, should children be paid the same as adults?
If the child labor can not be stopped, and can not be helped- then a child should, if their payed, be payed if not more money than an adult. They give up their education, their family life, their entire childhood experience to work. Some don’t even have a decision whether or not they will work. Some of these children are younger than the age of twelve.
3. Much of the food and drink we consume is produced by child labor in agriculture. What are your thoughts on this?
I realized that I am eating the food that the frail youth of foreign countries make, I am wearing the shirts that the weak fingers of hungry babies have sewn. It makes me sick, it makes me feel like a conceded murderer. No child should be put through the suffering so that western countries can live in comfort and style.

These children give up everything. They are not privileged with an education, most can not read, or write. How is this fair or justified in any way? I would like to see government involved, I would like to see another Craig Kielburger and more involvement in: “Free the Children”. More people need to be aware of the significant impact this has on so many lives.
Stopping Child Labor and Preventing Child Labor should be an important priority in many Government’s agendas.
Tell next time,
Thank you.

I am deffinetly a member of TakingITGlobal's: HIV/AIDS Project.
I suggest, more people get involved, It is a free, fun, and well informed project. It is an easy way to gain knowledge about HIV and AIDS and its affects to the millions of people infected across the world.
It is good to read the forums, and to see the youth involvment.
Thanks! Check it Out!
If you dont know how message me or feel free to email me:

I agree, with many others, drug use in youth population is dangerous and at a high percentage. But I do not discard it, disagree with it or look down on it. Call me old fashion, but im still stuck in the sixties and seventies with the drug use and rebillions.
I disagree very much so with kids who just drink tell there smashed, or pop so much ecstacy they cant function, smoke to much weed and just fall over.
But I deffinetly support some jazz influenced boy, take ecstacy to better intouch them selves deeply within their passion of music.
Or a guitar player smoking some marijuna to up their self esteem, to better their ego, to allow them to have a three hour oppurunity to connect with the strings of their guitar, to ingest the base and to embrase the strings.
I am a drug addict, I have admited that, and I have gone to treatment for it. I still use drugs, just ecstacy and cocaine now, im open about that, it is deffinetly not as bad as it was before.
I use the drugs mainly for the power and the ability I feel to be in-touch with my music, my opinions, my thoughts and my life. Before, Rehabilitation/Treatment I used drugs mainly to cope..
It is an entirely different situation now.
In the Fifties - Seventies, the biggest evolution/revolution many people have ever seen, was influenced by music and LCD. Deffinetly, a big demand for drugs-
the Youth Movment was pushed by those two key factors: Music & Drugs.
It is time for another Evolution, it is time for Youth Movement.
If drugs and music worked then, It will work now.
Its a lifestyle, its an opinion and its the edge of evolution.

MUSIC IS IMPORTANT. MUSIC IS TRADITION, IT IS HISTORY AND IT IS FUTURE.
IT REPRESENTS THE IMPORTANCE IN LIVES, THE EMPHASIS ON OPINIONS AND THE FEELINGS OF BILLIONS. THE EVOLUTION OF MUSIC IS AMAZING, IT IS THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES SENCE ANYMORE. IT IS THE ONE THING WE CAN TURN TO WHEN EVERYTHING ELSE TURNS AWAY. IT IS THE LIGHT THAT WILL ALWAYS STAY ON, AND THE SHOE LACES THAT WILL ALWAYS STAY IN PLACE. IT IS POWERFUL, WITHOUT EVEN SAYING A WORD.
IT HAS CAUSED POLITCAL UNREST, AND HAS BEEN THE REASON FOR REBILLION, TRUTH AND YOUTH MOVEMENT.
MUSIC IS THE ANATOMY OF CURIOSITY, EMOTION AND QUIESTIONING.
