Is the correct formatting for in-text citation?

Article 38 is pursued every moment in my life. It is never violated in my own eyes unlike some other kids around the globe. I wake up with a perception of security. I do not need my survival skills nor would I need to use them.
I do not need to make a decision about whether to take a position in the army or become a wife to one of the officials unlike the kids who were abducted by the Lord Resistance Army (LRA). Being a child solider does not invariably indicate that they only carry a gun and endanger their lives; it also means they also work as runners who deliver messages and run errands, guards, sex slaves, cooks or spies. There is a motive to child soldiers. They want (the opposing army) to terminate the family and the community relationship by forcing them to attack their families and communities. At some point they are hoping the relationship will be destroyed for ever and will have to build a contemporary relationship within the army. They are given drugs and alcohol, because addictions to these substances make it easier for the leaders to lead them. (CHILDREN AND WAR).
The part that starts a new paragraph is the one that has a source. Do I put the in-text citation at the back or at the end of every sentence. If wrong can someone please tell me how to correct it?

  1. Put the citation before the period of the sentence that you are citing. For example:

    The cat was “struck so heavily that it fainted” (Hirsch 47).
    This example is entirely fictional.

    And if you are using the title of a book or website, underline it. If it is the name of an article, poem, story, etc. put it in quotation marks. Remember to put the first thing that will be on your works cited sheet in the inline citation.
