Teen Slaves

Slaves are people who are held against their will since either their capture, their purchase, or their birth, and are deprived of their individual freedom...

 

That is how the definition of "Slave" begins in Wikipedia. Then it says "for the purpose of exploitation of their labour and in some cases their sexual abuse."

But what if we widened the definition a bit and simply said "for the purpose of serving the wishes and commands of another person"?

I am not going to write much on this page write now, but I want to leave you with this thought.

How many children and teenagers are being held in schools and homes around the world against their will for the purpose of serving the wishes and commands of their parents and teachers? How many would choose to do something else if they were reall free to choose?
