Child Labour and Poverty

Child labour is happening around the world. I believe it should be illegal in all countries.  Some countries already made child labour banned but most are still treating kids terribly.  Child labour is usually when parents or caregivers take discipline and chores to the next level just to be able to survive.   This occurs mostly in Africa and southern and western Asia.  Children everywhere have been given a horrible life that they don't deserve.


Poverty is the main reason why they have to be treated like a caged animal.   Kids, such as the age of 5 and below have to participate in the work they are given.  Most child labourers happen when there is a lot of children in the family.  This makes that parents have to pay multiple bills to give their children good education and food for survival.  Children should have free schools to be able to have an easier life later on.


Some schools are too expensive for parents to afford so their children often have to do work around where they live to earn money. If the parents are able to afford their children to go to schools they will have to have a long walk in the early morning, up mountains across multiple rivers.   There is just no way out to have an easy life.  Once they reach school they go to the classrooms and learn in horrible conditions.  Sometimes they have to use everyday things to be able to write, rub out and to rule lines.  Children in these conditions are desperate to go to school.  They will do anything to have education and a chance to live.  Unlike us who plead to stay home and play video games and do other entertaining stuff.  


Parents at home have a hard time to keep their children on track, help do their homework and make sure they’re feed right.  This causes their children to be sick and uneducated because the parents weren't educated at our age.  So they don't think their life through, no education, no work, no future.  They don't think about their money, food supplies and things that keep you alive.  But these things don't usually happen to all families out there.  There are multiple reasons why they’re living in poverty.  I think in our community we should be more generous and give out some equipment to help with their life, like an umbrella and school bags.


We could donate our toys, provide good shoes and clothing.  Just at least 10% of your help can make a change. Maybe just start with one, and you’ll see.  It might not feel like being superman but you are a hero to them.  Children always comes first and all children should be treated the same.  Therefore, I believe child labour should be illegal all around the world.
