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.
