In the novel, Persepolis, Marjane was born in a horrific enviornemnt; where she see's deathness, rebellion and illegal doings. Back then and still now children are exposed to the adult life in a very young age. Marjane since little understood what was happening but how she was still a younging she was innocent to any of the stuff that was happening around her. By Marjane being exposed to stuff like this can really harm her but it can also help her because she knows what happening to her and to her country so if anything she is ready.
There are so many kids out in the world exposed to things only adults should know and do. Nowadays criminals use children for a lot of stuff like prostitution, servants, as their own personal pets and trafficing illegal drugs or goods. This is sick. Kids shouldn't be used as animals or as sex slaves they are suppose to grow up in a good enviornment with love. Marjane wasn't really expose to that but she was exposed when rebellion happened in her country; she even protested in a very young age. She also smoked at a young age because she wanted everyone to stop treating her like an naive child because she wasn't, she knew what was happening. Probably if Marjane didn't live with her parents there her life would of been different and it would of been easier on her. But life doesn't work like that, you have to survive in your own jungle, everyone has to fight somehow in life.
