It kind of scared me that they have a little bar in one corner that says "Hunger deaths in this hour." It was at 810 last I checked. I feel so sad

Seeing that bar made me feel awful. When I looked last, it was at 873...

This article is talking about the similarities and differences between the Depression and now. The author is saying how they might have had it better than us because they tried to get jobs instead of now how people just ask the government.

I know a couple people from the depression, one was affected very badly from it and one wasn't. so i have heard what it is like to live through something like that, and i cant even imagine having to. to have all your deams vanish and be depressed all the time because you can't do anything because you can't afford it.

This article is about how being in poverty can affect a childs' learning ability. They don't have the motivation to learn in school and I was surprised to read that wtih their emmotional state they are very self concious about their situation.

that is a shocker and i did no know that it can affect their learning ability!

This article talkes about how a women took a trip to africa and she talks about how bad the poverty level is there and her reations. she also tells the reader some sugerstons to help with the people. I was suprised with some of the sugerstons she gave to the reader.

This article gives some resolutions to end poverty. They state some of the things they are worried about concerning poverty, and then give ideas and suggetions of ways to end it and solve those problems. Some ideas of how to end poverty: eliminate school fees, support breast-feeding, provide drugs for AIDS, access to electricity, action against domestic violence, deworming children in affected areas, free school meals, and many more. Knowing these things is helpful because it gives you actual ideas to act on in order to end the vicious cycle of poverty.

it is so horrific that little kids have to go through prostitution and human trafficing, when their just little kids. when they don't even have sanitary items or hospitals near by, that child can get severly ill and a chance of dieing, from prostitution. It also made me sad when i saw the pictures on the side of this artical, and how these children have to go through this is a big part of their life.

It's a good website that tells you who is poor and gives you the numbers. It explains just about all the kinds of people who can become and are poor.

This article is about how kids that are in poverty and are going to school are more likely to fail because of their social circumtances

With the amount of poverty rising (which means more kids that make up this country), I wonder how this will effect the country in the future.

Very sad. It says that it is most likely for a child to fail in education that is in poverty because of his/her's life circumstances.

This article is about how poverty is raising in the Unites states, quickly.

This article gives info on how to end child poverty. I think it is incredibly useful to know what teenagers can do stop child poverty. Teens think that they can't do anything to help but they can in so many ways

I really liked how there was a variety of ways to take action that are realistic.

There are more ways to help than I thought. I think organizing a dinner would be a great idea, we might be able to do it here at Phoenix!

An article about the Solutions and causes of Poverty

This article is about the causes and effects of poverty, and some studies that have been done on it. While reading this article, I was surprised to find out that almost 36 Million people in the United States are in poverty.

This article talks about the statistics of poverty, crime, and the relations between this controversial issue.

An article about homelessniss in the U.S as of 2005.

that is a very good article that is useful in many ways!

This artical tells the poverty rates in ohio and all around the US. I was so suprised about how high the poverty rate has grown and how it has gotten this bad so fast.

This article has percentages and rates on the poverty levels in all of the states

i can't believe the poverty rate is so high in ohio...D:

This article is about how the homeless are sheltered. It is the website of an organization that oporates an emergency shelter. I was happy to see how much came with the shelter and that people weren't just thrown into an empty space.

I agree with Miranda, i was happy to see that the people got housing and were not all thrown into one room with a bunch of other people, and some blankets. That would make me feel really appreciated.

i thought it was great that it came with a food starter kit.

This website gives a nice summary about poverty and some stats. It also gives some other info about poverty. I like this because the paragraphs are short and they give good info on poverty.

I thought that it was really sad when they said that one of the reasons people are in poverty is because they are disabled mentally or physically. Another reason that people are in poverty is because they have little to no education which is one reason they can't get a job. I thought that these were reasons that we take for granite everyday. We complain about going to school, but i bet most people in poverty wish they were where we are now.

A Wikipedia article about the number of Americans under the federal poverty line, More then 1/2 of the people will spend atleast one year under the poverty line between ages 25 and 75

This article tells about how poverty in india hits evben harder thatn in america, here poverty could be at a job for 7 dollars an hour, but in india 25% of their population makes less than a dollar a day. 25% is a lot, becuase mostly the naion is over populated with people that take up most of the jobs. So in india they have somthing known as the "slums" kind of like a ghetto that we have here in the states, but people there live in poor poor living condtions, without running water, no flushing toilet, and no bath the poverty here would look like luxrury there.

Stopping extreme poverty is somehwhat very difficult. But these people think its very possible. They think poverty can be reduced in the year 2015 and can be extremly reduced in the year 2025. In my opinion, this is a goal that is very hard to reach, Especially with our economy today. But it is possible.
