My daughter asked me to watch the you tube video tonight. In the 30 minutes I did, it got over 2.5 MILLION hits. It was only at 200,000 last night and is now over 11 million.
My daughter is talking to her student body president tonight to see how they can participate in Paper the Night on April 20. If you see the video, it is OUR kids, and KIDS all over the world that are doing this. The pride I have in my daughter right now brings me to tears.
My military mind tells me we can't be the world's policeman, but when you see something like this, as a parent, it is hard to explain to your child why. Why is this happening to kids their age, and much much younger. Foreign Policy just doesn't cut it to a 14 year old.
I am going to do what I can to help her foray into the vast world, and know that one person can make a difference.
