The children obviously grow up hardened under these conditions. These kids have never seen any other place. And if you take the hardships out of the life of the Kurds, in my opinion, they won't know what to do. I spent two or three years in this area, during the fighting, and for these kids, they don't know there is another life. There is no point of reference, there is no comparison to what you and I know.
Hardship is the reality of their lives.
They think that this is what life is. All schools are like their schools, all kids live like they do. All kids work. They've never had electricity, they've never had televisions. If you haven't seen anything else, what you live is reality.
