P. 14
When you read about war in your history book or hear about
it in the news, do you ever wonder what happens to the
families and children in the places experiencing war? Many
families in these situations decide that they must leave their
homes to stay alive. What happens to them?

Refugees, 70.8 million people around the world have been
forced to leave their homes because of war or persecution as
of 2019. Over 50 percent of these people are under the age
of eighteen.
English teacher Victorya Rouse has assembled a collection
of real-world experiences of teen refugees from around the
world. Learn where these young people came from, why they
left, and how they arrived in the United States. Read about
their struggles to adapt to a new language, culture, and high
school experiences, along with updates about how they are
