A Heartbreaking Reality: When Childhood Dreams Turn to Survival Plans
In a world where schools should be places of magic, safety, and growth, it’s devastating to see children burdened with fears no child should ever face. A recent story of a 10-year-old coming up with clever survival strategies is both heartbreaking and a stark reminder of the world we’ve created for our youngest generation.
Children shouldn’t have to think about surviving tragedies that could happen at any moment. Schools are meant to be sanctuaries for learning and joy, not places where fear overshadows education. Yet, the reality for many children today is far from what it should be.
Our heart breaks for these beautiful children who are left to suffer while those in power fail to act.
It’s shameful, and it’s wrong.
Every child deserves to feel safe and carefree in their school. They deserve a chance to focus on their dreams, not on survival. We must do better—for them, for their futures, and for the soul of our nation.
