Why?

Today in Geography, we had a sub, which meant we would spend the hour watching a movie. But I would have never expected anything like the video that I found myself watching..
Chernobyl. In April of 1986 a nuclear powerplant in the Ukraine experienced an explosion, causing only 3% of their radioactive products to get released into the air.
That's all it took.
People are still suffering. More and more newborn babies are being put up for adoption everyday in the Ukraine because their brains are mere tumors outside of their heads, because they have cancer that their parents already can't pay to get treatment for, because their bodies are too fragile for any potential use. More and more toddlers are being left on the streets everyday because they're 4 years old with the body of a 4 month old, because they're 6 years old but can't comprehend enough to go to school, because their parents can't stand to look at their children any longer, at what they created.
So what happens to these kids?
They get left in orphages, asylums, hospitals. Like an outcast. They're an outcast for having been born. For having the right to live. The right to live a life like anyone else.
But what kind of a life is it? When you're stuck in a room your whole life. When your limbs get cut off because they simply won't do anything. When you get looked at strangely, for just trying to be like everyone else.
Because in their eyes.. that's all you are.
Just some outcast, with little to give to society.
So with each and every passing day, their tumor gets bigger, or their defect becomes more difficult to live with..
And then they begin to wonder, why am I here?
