Books are the key to learning and a happy life, Although the teens across the world are "safe" they still have an internet where anything can be access. Teens are seeing a different prospective of war and the horrifying photos of death. In the book Fallen Angles by Walter Dean Myers the main character Perry ends up trying out for the military. When he's sent to Vietnam he finds a friend named Peewee. Both characters find ways to hate war. Perry, for instance, enters a camp where he encounters a enemy VC. The VC's gun jams and perry kills the VC. Peewee encounters a little girl, he makes the little girl a doll and she goes off back into the war zone but the little girl steps on a mine and Peewee's shocks for a few days. Teenagers can look at these photos and realise that war is a hurtful thing.
Teens can relate to the idea of war being a hurtful thing because of the amount of deaths there are. Perry version of how he sees the world is when the sun rises all life is spared, when the night rises all the fighting renicates. "there was no fighting at that moment it was like someone was flipping channels then turn the fighting back on". Not only does war change people physically but people change mentally. Making a connection to the movie American Sniper, the main character Chris Kyle goes into war for months because his motto is never quit, Perry's motto is the same but both characters experience mental changes and Chris Kyle has to go into rehab.
All people who spend a few months to a few years in a war zone start experiencing visions. Manaco, Perry's friend in war is shot in the leg when he awakes in the hospital he starts screaming "KILL HIM HES TAKING ME AWAY". Although adults aren't the only ones who can face mental difficulties. Children who are refugees, who loose everything such as there family, home, friends, turn into adults who have no meaning to live. They join a military.
Teens and young adults who see photographs in the news about gun fire and children dying want to help by joining the military. Why do we send kids in the military for some of them to die. That's why Teens can look at these photos and realise war is a hurtful thing.
