Diana, 13 years old, lives in a frontline village

»I live in the village in another street and often meet my friends to play.
I go to school in Opytne, too, the bus picks us up and takes us back. This is O.K., but the road is very bad and therefore the bus trip is very uncomfortable. The journey takes about 20 minutes.
My old school friends are all living in the occupied area and we are in contact via social networks.
They say that they also miss us and would like to see us. But we don't have enough time to talk about the school, we just miss each other. I try to be happy and if there won't be shootings it would be very good.
Before the war it was nice, we could go everywhere and had many friends and now we can only stay in the center and are not able to see many friends any longer.
I have no dreams. I'm afraid about my relatives and the people, who live on the other side.«
