    That is really shocking! I've never thought that poverty would be related to teen pregancy, but now that I read this it makes so much sense. It's so sad, but it's also promising, because if we can beat poverty, then that can significantly help teen pregnancy.
  • Korn A on 13 Jan 11
     
    Wowwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you would never think that teen pregnancy and poverty were related!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Sun K on 13 Jan 11
     
    wow. i agree with avery-you don't really relate poverty and teen pregnancy
  • Dendiu S on 13 Jan 11
     
    i don't think that we could beat teen pregnancy. you really can't tell someone to stop you know. but poverty could be beaten easily then again there both decisions. or well teen pregnancy is.

    or maybe i read the comment wrong.

    i agree with suzi, this aritcle seems a lil over strong though. i dont like the point of view its coming from

    ya, you can't really control how many teens get pregnant, but poverty can lead to teen pregnancy (and vice versa).
  • Giesman G on 13 Jan 11
     
    its really sadening that if the mother has not earned a high school diploma or equivalency degree, the child will grow up in poverty 64 percent of the time. i think that this problem needs to be adressed so that we can stop this vicious cycle.

    i didnt think that teen pregnancy could be related to poverty.
  • Shockley L on 14 Jan 11
     
    I never linked poverty and teen pregnancy to poverty, but after reading thing article, it all makes sence. I also think that it would be really tough to be a teen mom in general, but then on top of that living in poverty. I cant image how hard and stressful that would be on a family.
  • Demmler A on 14 Jan 11
     
    i think its sad that a child born to an unmarried teen mother has a 27 percent chance of growing up in poverty. i mean, how would you feel if that was your mom who made that decision. ?
  • Pavlechko M on 14 Jan 11
     
    WOAH!!! theres 2.2 billon children in the world and theres 1 billion in poverty:(
  • Smith M on 14 Jan 11
     
    Its sad that just some dumb mistakes made by teenagers can change there lives forever. and part of beeing a teenager is makeing duimb mistakes, so you can learn and become expirenced adult. But all you can say is "abstinance" I beliveve that the gov't needs to work even harder to prevent it, and really spend some time and money to fight this growing problem.
  • Korn G on 14 Jan 11
     
    Its so sad, if a baby is born to a poor mom they are more likely to live in poverty when their older
  • Brown B on 14 Jan 11
     
    I never thought teenage pregnancy would ever be related to poverty. I was amazed at how the numbers of poverty in a state was closely followed by the numbers of teen pregnancy in that area. I would never what to have a kid when I am like 16. But living poverty at the same time must be so hard. It was so shocking how the teen's kid would must likely grow up to be like their parents were. Which is so sad.
  • Mendez V on 14 Jan 11
     
    I thought that this article was interesting because i never would have thought that that getting pregnant would be a cause of poverty.
  • Oberly K on 14 Jan 11
     
    It doesn't really suprise me that teen pregnancy is linked to poverty. Most teenage mothers can't pay for all the costs of a baby.
  • Smyth C on 14 Jan 11
     
    It sad but clearly obvious that teen pregnacy is a vicious cycle. Born to a teen mother, children are likely to grow up in poverty, making it likely that they will get pregnant in their teenage years.
  • Cooperman H on 14 Jan 11
     
    This article was very shocking for me. "The report's rankings of states by teen pregnancy rates looks eerily similar to the U.S. Census rankings of states by poverty rates." That line really just took my breath away, because I seriously had no idea that teen pregnancy could be linked to poverty in any way. It just hurt my heart seeing the way that poverty can really have that much of an effect on people.
  • Reed E on 14 Jan 11
     
    I agree with Kelsey, its not surprsing at all. Yestarday i went to the food pantry and Mr.Maddox noticed a can of maybe formula and said that pint of baby formula lasts two days and costs $15. its crazy how much a child costs and especially for a teen whose not prepared finacually and mentally
  • Matson K on 14 Jan 11
     
    I liked how this article gave another example of what can cause many people to be in poverty because of. I think its really sad how many young girls throw their life away and have to end up being homeless or in poverty.
  • Pawluk M on 14 Jan 11
     
    I think it's sad how 27% of children with teen moms grow up in poverty. They deserve a better life than that even though they can't control who their mom is.
  • Strauss V on 14 Jan 11
     
    I think this site should open peoples eyes. .When i think of causes of poverty this never came to mind. This is a big cause of people who are in poverty. I also feel bad because if you are in poverty you cant provide your kid with the right essentials. And its says that about 27% of kids grow up living in poverty because their mothers were living in poverty too. Dont have sex kids. thanks. (:

    This website provides information about several health issues that are a result of poverty. It also introduces you to one of the several solutions to help end poverty. This article really forced me to see the reality of it and just how many people are impacted.

    This website is about world poverty and its effects. The home page has a map of people dying all around the world because of hunger/hunger related causes.
  • Isaacson R on 12 Jan 11
     
    This website shows deaths this hour, and sadly it is mostly kids ans women who die. I noticed none of the deaths are from America.
  • Borror D on 12 Jan 11
     
    Well, this article tells you facts about poverty. It tells you organizations that help out this problem too. It told me that over 25,000 people die because of poverty and I was like, "OMGNOWAY!!"
  • Kruzan A on 12 Jan 11
     
    It really mad me sad to see all of the faces on the map. It made me sad, but yet it mezmorized me to see all of the people that had died
  • Goldblum J on 13 Jan 11
     
    I hated how the faces were showing up, but what made me sad was that most of them were in asia, africa, and a few were in south america. What i REALLY didn't like was at the bottom of the home page, it said the faces and the names were fake.
  • Cook A on 13 Jan 11
     
    this article expains statistics and how although there is enough food for everybody, not everybody can afford it. About 25,000 people die every day of hunger,yet there is plenty of food in the world for everyone. its sad to see how many people are dying in just this hour.
  • Phillips L on 13 Jan 11
     
    I was really disturbed when I read that 25,000 people die each day of hunger or hunger related causes... I knew people died but I never thought that it would be that many...
  • Smyth C on 13 Jan 11
     
    Being in the situation we are, or at least the situation I am, I always feel very datatched rfom the world of poverty. But seeing the actual faces and coming to mental realization that these4 are people with families and storys was really an eye opener. good find.
  • Dendiu S on 13 Jan 11
     
    oh my god, this article makes me soo depressed. but i don't understand how they could have the picture up of people who just died in that hour? unless i read it wrong
  • Strauss V on 13 Jan 11
     
    One person dies every 3 and a half seconds according to the United Nations. Children die more often than adults. The world has plenty of food to feed everyone but the problem is that people are trapped in severe poverty. They dont have the money to buy the food. If they never have food, they become week and sick causing them to not work and they get poorer. There are programs around the world the can help children buy food when they are at school so their families can save money.
  • Estice H on 13 Jan 11
     
    It's sad just knowing how many people die from poverty, but seeing their faces makes it even worse!
  • Teets S on 13 Jan 11
     
    The fact that every 3 1/2 seconds, a person dies due to poverty is really sickening. It makes me feel guilty that we have such a great life compared to others.
  • Costello R on 14 Jan 11
     
    thats so sad that over 25,000 people die a day because of poverty. it is also very sad because they show the pictures of the people who died witch made me very sad.

diseases of poverty

shared by Tuttle S on 14 Jan 11 - No Cached
  • Tuttle S on 14 Jan 11
     
    The article is about poverty-related diseases (PRDs) and how it is a mafor cause and cosequence of considerable povert in Developing Countries (DCs). The burdens of PRDs, especially HIV/AIDS, which today more than 40 million people are infected with AIDS, and many of them are in sub-Saharian Africa. Malaria, and Tuberculosis (TB), also TB remains the leading cause od morbidity and mortality world-wide, accounting for more than 2 million human lives every year. The annual global death toll of these three diseases approaches 6 million people and, in some African countries HIV infected 40% of the entire population. But the European Commision has propposed to support a long-term partnership between Europe and developing countries by providing $200 million for development of new medicines and vaccines to fight these three diseases. Thus the European and Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnershipm(EDCTP) brings together EU Member States plus Norway, developing countries and industry in a joint effort to combat PRDs. Fighting thses diseases will also be one of the most effective ways to alleviate poverty and promote economic progress in DCs. My opinion of this article is that it's brilliant, knowing that U.S. is not alone and that countries are coming together to stop thess diseases and poverty problems alike. I hope this article would be an insperation to teh U.S. and other countries, that are facing poverty and the horrific effects of the grotisque "plague!"

    I like how it shows that poverty could be a factor of crim but it is not alway that way.
  • Allen C on 12 Jan 11
     
    :o I didn't know that it was more likely for a poor child to commit a crime, but that sounds like something that would happen if you really need something to live, like food or clean water.
  • Fischbach J on 13 Jan 11
     
    This article is explaining that crime is evident in places that are high in poverty. It also states tat there are many others factors of poverty that lead to other things rather then just crime. They are also explaining how high unemployment leads to smaller crimes like stealing. I think that this is sometimes true, but that not all people in poverty steal to get food. There are other ways to get food legally.
  • Mendez V on 14 Jan 11
     
    I really liked this article because i thought it was really interesting how people in poverty are so desperate to get fod that they would do anything to get it even steal it. That's usuallt why crime goes up because of people in poverty.
  • Goldblum J on 14 Jan 11
     
    I'm very surprised how densly populated areas are the poorest. I was looking more into how Poverty relates into crime this whole time, but with everything i saw, I didn't know that! It just kind of blew me away!

    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?
  • Martin L on 12 Jan 11
     
    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!
