This made me want to cry and be sick to my stomach at the same time! I am 21, and there are girls in that camp who I am sure have had multiple children!
Being a High School teacher this just makes me shudder to think that these kids are the same age as most of my students!
They should be living and enjoying their childhood, not being forced into marriages, raped, and forced to have children at such a young age!
