When is something 'terrorism'?

Imagine you're playing hide and seek, and someone tries to scare all your friends at once so they can win, that’s like terrorism.

When people do something really scary, like blowing up a building or taking over a school, it's called terrorism. It's not just about being loud or big, it's about surprising you when you least expect it, and making you feel unsafe.

Think of it like this: if someone throws confetti in your face during a quiet moment at lunch, that’s fun. But if they throw a whole party inside the school, it's terrorism, everyone gets surprised, and no one knows what will happen next!

Sometimes people use terrorism to make others scared so they can get what they want. It's like when you're trying to win a game, and someone else tries to mess up your turn just to be first!
