“Deep down, the young are lonelier than the old.” I read this in a book somewhere and it’s stuck in my mind. As far as I can tell, it’s true.

So if you’re wondering whether it’s harder for the adults here than for the children, the answer is no, it’s certainly not. Older people have an opinion about everything and are sure of themselves and their actions. It’s twice as hard for us young people to hold on to our opinions at a time when ideals are being shattered and destroyed, when the worst side of human nature predominates, when everyone has come to doubt truth, justice and God.

According to Frank, why is the war harder on children than adults?

A. Children are not as emotional as adults.
B. Children care more about injustice than adults.
C. Children are still trying to find themselves.
D. Children are less idealistic than adults.

In the passage, it shows that children are still lost and looking for the way. The war makes them constantly rethink the ideals that they had. Use WWII for example, at one point children believed that Hitler was doing the right thing. It made sense to eradicate what they were being told was the reason German people were suffering so much hardship after WWI. Then the children eventually find out and discover, wait...this is not true. What we believed all along is actually terrible and horrific. An older person is not so easily swayed by propaganda and is able to hold on to beliefs that have already been ingrained and tested.
