How did September 11th affect children and families?

Answer 1

For those who actually experienced it, it changed their perspective forever. I had to grow up much more quickly, most children are never exposed to such a thing happening less than two blocks away. New York is a close knit family, while it may seem that there are too many people for this to be so I assure you it is true. When loved ones died, and friends disappeared things just felt terrible. While it did affect all of the United States, those living in downtown New York City were affected much more deeply.
