This is Times magazine article about the number of kids who are homless in the U,S. A few statistics: Texas (337,105), California (292,624), Louisiana (204,053), Georgia (58,397) and Florida (49,886).

If i was one of those kids i would go mad out of my mind. Think of the kids who are 9 and younger live out side don't have food every day. How would you fill?

That just feels so unfair that kids are just born into this kinda thing. It's pretty sad that they can't get the right education to be successful in their lives because they were born poor :(((((

this article talks about who are homeless and the percents of each homeless group. IT was really touching because it showed that everyone is affected. It really made me feel sad when I saw that 36% of homeless people are families

it makes us relize how we shouldnt take things for granted, and just should be thankful for what we have, becuase some people dont even get the love and support we get. they just have nothing. ):

I found this article interesting becasue it gives statistics about peopl who are homless, like 28% don't have enough to eat, compared to the 12% of adults who are hungry nut have homes." and "22% have been physically assulted". It gave me a different perspective about people who are homeless.

This article talks about 11 effects of homelessness on teenagers. Some of them were incredible shocking. Like the statistic that 1 in four homeless youth have traded sex for survival needs. It was also sad that one in 260 homeless youths is murdered

I thought it was so sad that adolescents are so desprate that one in four teens have traded sex for survival needs!!!

Wow that was really scary, i can't believe that people would do that just to have food. I just want to help them. I can't believe that they would even be in a situation where they would have to do that.

the saddist part is they could be made for each other but their class and income are keeping them apart. D:

I think that it's strange that it's harder for younger people to get married since usually it's the opposite. I wonder if you are well off does it affect your chances for staying with your partner?

it might declan but the stress for young poor kid in love to make ends meets are usually a reason to break up. its easier to substain yourself with some nutricious than provide both of you with raman noodles. so in theory this could cause malnutrision too!

these facts are very shocking!

Shows perctentages, charts, graphs, and statistics from the Census Bureau. In 2005, there were 35 million poor people living in the U.S., and the percentage has varied from 11.3% to 15.1% of the population over the past 20 years. This article is the best source to research on pooverty, and I highly recommened anyone to read this. The information in this article is both interesting and emotionally grotisque. I really couldn't read the whole article without shedding a tear, or heart-break.

One of the Millienium goals is to "Halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people whose income is less than $1 a day." This article gives statistics and ways people have begun to reach the goal.
