Why so many children run away from home

They are many diffrent reasons why children run away. some may come from abrusive families, or poverty stricken neighborhoods.Some leave to escape a mother's death or a stepfather's sexual molestation, but many teens feel they are running away from parents who don't love them anymore or don't want them, some feel unloved and unappreciated or maybe like their family are better off without them. Surveys show that about 40 percent of homeless young people in the U.S have parents who actually locked their children out of the house. These children, often called "throwaways," may come from families who just can't deal with teenagers or aren't finacially stable enough to care for them. Although their are some teenagers that are just defiant and don't want to obey house rules so they choose to run away. What ever the case may be it causes more homelessness in our communities.

The effect of poverty on an individual

The effect of poverty on an individual is huge, because you become a product of  your environment.
If your poor and your family is poor and you grow up poor you eventually get tired of being poor and eventually say hey, I'm tired of being broke what are some ways to get some quick money...hhuuuuummm.
Their are findings to support that, impoverished children consistantly fare worse than, their middle class counterparts in school and eventually in life. Stress is a plausible model for how poverty could get into the brain and eventually interfere with acievement.Compared to middle class kids, poor children tend to go to ill-equipped and ill-taught schools, have fewer educational resources at home, eat low- nutrition food, and have less access to health care. I also feel that theirs a lot of hidden racism employment wise and that effects the crime rate among impoverised individuals. I don't want to make up an excuse for the people that arent trying but i do feel that hte system is designed for some to fail.

The Rise of the wives

In the artcle  "The Rise Of The Wives" by Gwen Parks It didn't really surprise me that in 1 in 5 marriages women are more educated and earn more money than their husbands. I've always believe that women were smarter than men in general.So to hear this doesn't seem new.Howeveer  it does feel good to know that women hhave come so far.
I also never knew that more women attended college than men then men 30 to 44 years ago, and to to hear that for men getting married is economically beneficial to  I guess you really do learn something new everyday because I definately didin't know any of this. I found this article very interesting because I found out alot of new things.
