Abstract

This research describes traumatic events as those events due which children have a threat of being injured or that is likely to result in death of the victim. As a result of those traumatic events the victim suffers with helplessness, intense fear and loss of control. The organizations mentioned above have established various policies and programs to ensure protection of children. These policies are aimed at providing most benefit to the most number of children all over the country. After presenting the idea behind this study to teachers and administrations of respondents' schools, the researcher asked for individuals that were willing to volunteer for the study. Most of the students are aware of terrorism through media and by communicating with others they know; however, we are still uninformed about the approach that they use to deal with it, and what are the factors that they have been unsuccessful in understanding.
