You are 13 years old and living in Afghanistan. Your family wants you making IEDs with the Taliban. Your friends come from the people around you, so are either Taliban members or sympathizers. Despite being 13 years old, when most people still get their sense of right and wrong from parents or close friends, you have come to the conclusion that this is wrong. Your family won't help you go against what they believe in. There are no social service agencies that can help you. Any people in Afghanistan who are opposed to the Taliban are living in fear and certainly won't help you escape your family who support the Taliban. Everyone around you supports the Taliban, so if you try to make any escape plans, they will likely find out and you're dead. Maybe you are also very smart and can figure out how to get to the western forces and ask for help, but will they give it to you? And if you try and they won't help you, you're dead.
What do you do?
