Common misconception
Some children might think that militant tactics are a good way for them to get the things that they want to.
The Suffragettes used extreme tactics because they felt that it was their only option. Going on hunger strike is dangerous. For the issues that children might face, there are many safer and less harmful ways to make a change.
