"War, that's such a short word. Short as a person's life."

-- Brittania, age 14

 

"I love this country. I'm willing to fight for it, I'm willing to kill for it, I'm willing to die for it."

-- Conner, age 15

 

 

 

 

"It seems so effortless, just to take one thing away. There's only one way to be born, but because of mankind, there are hundreds of ways to die. I think about that a lot."

-- Benjamin, age 10

 

"We're teens, we're cute
We're radical to boot.
We're angry, we're tough,
And we have had enough!"

- Radical Teen Cheerleaders cheer

 

 

 

 

"Guns are, you know, tight. I can't even explain it, cause you hold them, and you lift them, and a lot of bullets come out."

-- Treveon, age 12

 

"War, it's where people fight, but not with their words. They actually kill."

-- Stella, age 6

 

 

 

 

"I sometimes feel that our government's not even watching. They're all like, 'Oh, there's millions of people out there protesting. What? I'm reading the funnies, go away.'"

-- Olivia, age 12

 

"My brother was going to go to Iraq and I really didn't want to see him go... In the back of your mind, you're always thinking, 'You know what? You might see your brother next time in a coffin.'"

-- Larry, age 17

 

 

 

"America's not safe anymore."

-- Chantelle, age 12
