We
may see the odd 'one on one' in the playground from
time to
time and some people sadly do suffer much worse but
by and large we take our health and safety for granted.
Yet
this is not the case for millions of children around
the world whose safety and lives are
put at risk every single day. Since 1990, an estimated
1.6 million children have been killed as a result
of conflicts, while more than six million have been
left
injured.
This
section explores the reasons behind this terrible
statistic as well as our attitudes
towards
violence. Many films and songs nowadays make guns
and drugs seem cool, while bullies at school are
sometimes
looked up to as role models by their classmates.
