As a Victorian child

Hi, my name is Amy and I'm going to tell you all about Victorian life. I'm only 5 years old and I work in a cotton mill factory. I hate working, I do 9hours a day. I get 50p a day I know that's not a lot but it's all I get.

I don't go to school because I'm poor and I heard that they hit children with a cane what ever that means!! I hate having to work every day but I have to because of my family. When walk out on the streets everyone laughs at me because of my looks and of my clothes.

I'm so poor that they don't even give me a drop of water. They are so mean. How would you like it? I always work even on Christmas day, new yeas day and valentines day. I never and I mean never don't get to spend time with my parents.

my family and I are really poor we live in a dirty house which is SMELLY!!!!!!! it is next to the factory where its noisy. I hate having to work all my life, my friend Lilly she cut most of her fingers off because our boss did not tell us how to work the machine.

me and my mum!!!!!
