Exercise Text 6- English into Arabic

[Mohammed]

The following is part of a book on child soldiers. The English and Arabic books need to show the same paragraph division and similar word counts. You cannot be too free in translation, though at the same time, you need to observe naturalness in Arabic.

The hypothetical client requests you to place in this thread any questions before you start translation, and the deadline is March 10.
Use the words in the spoiler. DO NOT USE any internet tool to help in the translation. If you still have words that you do not know, write them down in a reply and I will add more spoilers, accordingly.
