Very sad indeed but true Yes, Julie some kids. These particular kids obviously have options, they have parents who provide for them. How else are they getting the money to get their hands on this drug? And that is what infuriates me, that these kids are just throwing it all away when so many others have nothing. I don't know if I should be angry or sad. Bah! Everyone's gotta learn from their own mistakes, I guess. I hate not being able to not give a damn but not being able to make a significant change.


Actually, I don't think that their parents are very present and are the one who provide, etc... I know it is not all the kids. Thank God, RGNFG and I hear you but they don't know anything better nor any model to follow and on the other hand, others have absolutly nothing.


Being/Playing the devil's advocate, what will be the worst, having nothing or being in those kids situation ? If I am not mistaken, kids that have nothing are from poorest countries since before the conflicts, so they had little chances to be exposed to the occidental word and what goes with it vs those one who were part, one day, of florishing economies. Would that make them luckier/est (?) than those kids from Eastern Europe ? At some point, I would think so, because they still have parents (or health profesionals) that care for them and that will do anything in their power compare to the others that are alone in their sad life. All this is an hypothese, like I said, playing the devil's advocate. This is an extremly complexe situation and I don't think there is a right or wrong opinion or answer.


We are just little pple, so making a significant change is impossible, even trying our best. But if we are able to make some little changes in somebody's life, here and there, the snow ball effect will happened. We might not see the results as fast as we would like to but I am confident that things are happening. Lahtina, don't give up, each thought, action is making a difference, that's the way the world moves and gorws

Julie has a point...these kids have nothing left to live for... they have no families, no school, soemetimes a corrupted government if not government at all to take care of them...


some of these kids at the age of 8 have seen things that not even a 30 yrs have seen in their life and I'm talking about death, rapes, starvation, etc...


Very sad indeed, but unfortunately this is today's reality worldwide...

E.T.A No quiero buscar escusas a eso pero hay que enfrentar y tratar de entender su realidad. And not much can be done right now. When a whole country almost desappear from the world map, it will take decades and probably few generations to be back on track.

People, welcome to reality. All those civil wars, for most part have sunken Estearn Europe (in this case) in terrible, dark path where the way out seems unreachable, and probably is for those kids. What about the kids that inhale glue, same thing, well maybe less chocking to the eyes but same result.

Oh my God.  I just felt this huge lump in my throat watching the last few seconds of that video.  That kid's face......I don't even know what to say.  That's so horrible and it just really broke my heart.  Where the hell are his parents?  Where are they getting this stuff from?  Jesus.  It's things like this that make me want to lock my brothers in their room until they're 30!!


Talk about feeling helpless.

I chose not to watch the video 'cause I know I couldn't take it and it'll probably traumatize me for life. But yeah, it is sad what children are being exposed to nowadays.

The following video shows 8 year old children shooting heroine using needles....


This is by far the most painful thing that I've had seen in my life... I must warn you that the images are very disturbing and viewer discretion is extremely advice...


It's very sad that this is a reality and kids nowadays are being exposed to drugs at a very young age.... is our job as responsable adults to guide them to a good path and to take care of them....


I apologize if I might offended somebody with this video, but unfortunately this touched the most deepes part of my heart and I felt the need of showing this....
