Study Woes

"Study Finds More Woes Following Foster Care”, an article written by Erik Eckholm, was something that opened my eyes to the statistics that people really don’t want to pay attention to. For example, 30,000 children are forced into a shaky adulthood due to the foster care system. Six in 10 men had been convicted of a crime, and three in four women, many of them with children of their own, were receiving some form of public assistance. This article has forced me to come to the realization that the average person doesn’t want to think about what they can do to help other people get ahead. But, they would rather see those very people that need support the most fail and use them as a stepping stool to get to where they think they need to be. I find that to be a sad thing to say but, in all reality it’s the truth. Due to the fact that people don’t help one another anymore not only adults are failing at the game of life but unfortunate children and teens are failing as well. What a promising future human kind has to look forward to.
