Last English class we watched the movie “In the Valley of Elah”, which is about a father trying to find his 18 year old son who just came home from the war in Iraq and is missing from his base. War can do a lot of horrible tings to young people, and this movie shows signs of this. Even though they survive in the war, the war can mess things up in many other ways. Young people are more easily influenced by others, than older people are, and they usually take more risks. They are open for a lot, and in a situation like a war they can do a lot they shouldn’t. Get involved with drugs, or gangs they shouldn’t hang out with. They can get alcohol problems, problems with anger and so on. It is easy to get in the wrong or bad social settings.
They can also get psychic problems, which can stay with then for the rest of their lives. The things they see in war can be too much for only a young person. Or actually for any person!
