Report: Foster Kids Face Tough Times After Age 18 - 3 views

  •  
    In this report it talks about foster kids and what happens to them after they turn 18. While some states, a small handful, have programs for the kids others do not. It spoke about kids turning 18 then getting dropped off at homeless shelters. I hope in the near future there will be a change for these kids. They crime rate, young parent rate and homeless rates are just not acceptable. Please read and see how you can help in you community.

Teen Suicide - 1 views

  •  
    I find it very sad that suicide is the third-leading cause of death for teens and young adults. This article is very clear on what signs to watch for, how to address the person if you do see signs and how to get them help. I feel that after reading this article I will feel more comfortable speaking up in a situation if needed. I hope you guys read this and share it with friends and family.

Kill vs. No-Kill Shelters: The Great Debate. - 1 views

  •  
    Everyone has an opinion on animal shelters. No kill VS kill shelters. Some make opinions without doing research. I found this article and it shows both sides of the "animal shelter debate". It talks about what the definitions are for the shelters and how the shelters processes work. Both shelters seem to have there pros and cons.

SPECIAL NEEDS SCHOOLS - 0 views

  •  
    I have heard many times and experience with my own family that it is hard to find the right school for children of any special needs. Autism in particular is what I often hear about. This website talks about the different schools offered in Arizona for children who need plans that are geared toward them. Meaning a lot of these schools don't teach the same stuff at the same time to all children. They make individual learning plans. This is so each kid can learn at their own pace and succeed. This is a great article for anyone who may need assistance with schooling, doing a report on special needs education or even if you are interested on this subject.
