Here in my country
America. Land of the free. Many different cultures.Secrets. To a lot of people America is the ideal place to live. Personally I agree exactly 95%.Despite having rights and being able to get public education for free,just like with every good thing something evil comes along,there is an underground America.Whether the "bigwigs" go over to East/Southeast Asia/Eastern Europe to pay for sex with underage boys and girls or teens run away and end up as a prostitute or even a parent selling there kid(s) for a hit (and there's one more "or") or their parent's prostituting them to get some profit.It tick-tocks in my head as I lay in bed at night about My underground America. As much as I love my country it hurts to know kids my age, younger and seniors have to go through this in my country and yours. It seems like no matter where,always in the

Chocolate & Child Labor
We can all fight against child labor by doing our research like for example Chocolate!Yes I said chocolate it might surprise you but it's true.Those big Brand names like M&M/Mars,Hershey are supporting the fact that children harvest their Cocoa beans.Some of us should already know that the price of Cocoa beans went down,It takes nine-hundred coca beans to make just one kilogram (or that's just what my resources tell me),and chocolate is down right delicious.I am not saying that you can't eat chocolate because here's the trick to STOP supporting child labor.
Fair Trade Symbol
Google
- Go to an all natural store like Chuck's or etc...
- Write letters or call the big brand names and ask questions etc...(number and address will be presented down below
- Look for chocolate with the fair trade label
- Tell family,friends,church members
- And REFUSE to buy the big brand names

What is Child labor?
Child labor is not universally defined but has several meaning actually.If a child is exploited, robbed of education and forced to work well that is child labour.No it's not children giving birth to another child even though a handful of people will think that.In some developing countries it's simply not called "Child Labor" because of well hello it's a different country and rules,regulations,and government differ. In some cases children receive very very very low minimum wage Sixty-Four cents to Eighty-Four cents.There are many countries including the United States who support child labor by buying the products.Also there are many different forms of child labor and practices, some in the worst form (example.Human Trafficking).Can you imagine being and child younger than the legal U.S working laboring to pay off debt or just because your family doesn't have a enough money to support you and the rest of your siblings? As a kid myself I think it is just terribly horrific of what the children have to do.
