    This website is about general facts about poverty, and how it varies by age, race and gender. i learned things like poverty is declining (and has been since the 1990s) but is still higher than in the 1970s. also, the poverty rate for children 0-17 is higher than any other age group, and marrige seems to help reduce poverty rates.

    I find it hard to believe that poverty level is dropping. I do, however, believe that it is higher thn it was in the 1970's.

    This article shows statistics of poverty over the last 13 years. Ex. In 1998 the child rate of poverty was 18.9% ( 13.5 million children) This article also talks about how Age, Race, Family Composition and Region effect Poverty

    This article is about the basic facts about Poverty. It lists the amount of races that are in poverty. It also lists the age range that is mostly in poverty. The article also lists the amount of people in Poverty and many more. I didnt realize how many people were actually in poverty.

    More people die as a result of extreme poverty than of any other cause. I wanna know what from poverty, from not being able to buy food or is it from not being able to go to a doctor when they are sick? Is it both? I wanna know what exactly is it. I was hurt to find out the 10 million kids in developing countiers die before the age of 5. Its painful to hear about thoose things and now at this moment i am woundering what is for lunch and i had breakfast this morning and that i am already 13 and have had a nice life so far but some kids wont even get to be my age.
  • Kruzan A on 12 Jan 11
     
    Thia gives a lot of facts about poverty, that you would not think about, i can't believe that their are 1.37 billion people living on less than 1.25 a day
  • Matson K on 12 Jan 11
     
    I can not believe how sad some of this facts are. I did not know that 1/3 of deaths are accounted for by poverty (hunger, homlessness) That was outragous. I really liked how quick and easy the facts were, so you learned lots in a short amount of time.
  • Strauss V on 14 Jan 11
     
    These statistics account for one third of all human deaths. More people die as a result of extreme poverty than of any other cause. This article says that !8 million people die every year because of poverty and hunger. That is only 1/3 of people accounted for. There is still 2/3 that people dont evenknow about.18 million is a lot of people. But 18 million is only the number of people recorded who died. There are millions of others dieing every year more than recorded. That was a major shock to me. I dont understand how this many people alone struggle with hunger. They could go days without food in their bodys. That just amazes me.

    Its so so sad to see all of the people effected by poverty, and how many people die from it

    This article is giving information about how many people are struggling in the United States from poverty. It gives causes and facts about hunger in the U.S. It was very eye opening when I read that 13 percent of people in the U.S. struggle with hunger. 16.7 million children live in households that struggle with putting food on the table.

    Wow! Has it really gotten so bad that 1 in 4 familys struggle to put food on the table? I meen,i can't think about that because sometimes if i don't like whats on my plate then i throw it away and some people woule die for that.
  • Ackerman B on 12 Jan 11
     
    The "Causes of Hunger in the US" article was super interesting. It made me realize that we have so much food in the US but if you don't have money to buy it, then you just can't buy it at all.

    I know Adele! When I don't like something on my plate, I just throw it away and not think about how much someone right then is struggling and starving.

    In the "hunger and poverty in african americans" article, i was so shocked of the total income, food insecurities, and poverty total. I am completely blown away by this!
  • Grover M on 12 Jan 11
     
    I definetly agree with Adele. It's also sad that 51.4% of Americans will live in poverty before the age of 65. But it is nice to see that not only does this website have facts that grab you and give you a sense of how big this problem is, they also have solutions. The more solutions we can get, the better.

    I like the quiz on this site. The facts and statistics were interesting too.

    I was so sad when i found out that in 2009, 15.5 million (20.7 percent) children under the age of 18 were in poverty. Just imagen there could be some in are class.
  • Foster H on 12 Jan 11
     
    it was sad that throughout the years the percent tile has increased but it is a good thing that some of the numbers are going down aswell. that means people are getting better with their life. :D but its still veeery sad that people have to live like this.
  • Goldblum J on 12 Jan 11
     
    All the statistics started to scare me. With all of the percentages and numbers, and with them RISING< it just is kind of worrying me.
  • Mullet K on 12 Jan 11
     
    I can't believe 11% of all families are in poverty. That's about one in ten families. I know at least ten families... It's too bad that there is enough money and resources for everyone, but after preschool, everyone forgot how to share. Imagine how the world would be more serene if everyone had the same amount of money.
  • Eyen J on 12 Jan 11
     
    I was surprised to hear that 5.6 million people in the U.S. have used food pantries, that is a lot more than I thought.
  • Hyre A on 12 Jan 11
     
    i never knew how big of an impact food pantries had. i was surprised that 4.8% of people in the US had to go to a food pantry once...i thought only a few homeless people went there. and that 57% of people in poverty get reduced lunches in school...i could not imagine how embarassing that would be.

    I really like how you can quiz yourself on poverty. I learned a lot from that. Some information was very surprising but at the same time very depressing/sad.
  • Borror D on 12 Jan 11
     
    Woah. Holy crap, I didn't know that there was so much poverty in the world. when I read those statistics I was like O_O
  • Walouke A on 12 Jan 11
     
    "In 2009, 5.7 percent of households (6.8 million households) experienced very low food security." That could anyone you know. This tells what Mrs. Smith and what Mrs. Lanka was saying that you could know people that are in poverty but aren't aware.
  • Baker M on 13 Jan 11
     
    Whoa. That was some high statistics. And that one about kids at the beginning , i was all "Awwwww thats so sad." :'(

    I like how you can quiz yourslef over poverty. The stastics and facts are really eye opening/ interesting to learn about.
  • Smyth C on 13 Jan 11
     
    i got a hundred percent on the quiz! But it was really eye opening to find out that most people in poverty aren't in urban settings.
  • Cooperman H on 13 Jan 11
     
    This is a great website. I love how it has all the statistics. It's just really sad to see how bad poverty has gotten over the years :^(
  • Estice H on 13 Jan 11
     
    I was really surprised by how many people are in poverty and how fast it was rising.
  • Teets S on 13 Jan 11
     
    All these stats iterally made my jaw drop. I'm sure everyone would agree that these are very weighted words.
  • Bolon T on 13 Jan 11
     
    I couldn't believe how many people were in poverty and how how fast it was rising. When i read this i wanted to donate food to food pantries so people in poverty could have more to eat.
  • Omar H on 14 Jan 11
     
    I found it very shocking by how much the poverty rate increased from 2008 to 2009. It didnt even show 2010 or 2011 which means it must have rapidly increased again. Its a great website but a very sad one.

    These are the stories of many children and tennagers tat are facing poverty. One of the articles I find really disturbing is the one about white Guinea Worms, which grow in the body after drinking contaminated water and eventually burst throught the skin, to be pulled out by hand. These parasites can grow to be meters in length.

    It's sad to see these stories about children growing up in poverty. I was reading one about a girl named Yuleini and it said while her mother and stepfather were at work, she had to cook meals for her 4 siblings, wash their clothes, and play with them. She is taking on a lot of responsiblity and she will grow up to be a good mother to her children.

  • Kruzan A on 13 Jan 11
     
    I can't beleive that people actualy have to go through that. Sometimes i just live in my own little world, and am oblivous to things around me. I notice the weird things, like how there is a gree bug in the snow, but i don't notice the walls, or the poverty going on around me. It's just unreal that things like worms can actually live in your body.

    I think that is was so sad when the kids were talking about their dreams one day of going to college and pulling themselves out of poverty. Hopefully one day the United States and even us can help them to achieve their goals and dreams.

    Poverty is sad, 600 million children are living in extreme poverty. 75 million children are out of school. It's horrible because they don't even get a chance for a good life without school.

    i think one of the saddest thing is that kidsw are dying from curable diseases. that means that we arent doing enough to make sure that everyone gets the treatment they deserve.
  • Chesser G on 13 Jan 11
     
    That's sad to see that approx. 25,000 children die each day to something that can be prevented. I wonder what the U.N. is doing to prevent that

    I didn't know that, approximately 9.2 million children under the age of 5 die each year, mostly from preventable diseases.
