Lack of education and understanding. I feel our schools and society fail miserably to prepare students for life on the outside. When I finally got out on my own I didn't have a clue how to obtain an apartment, phone or utilities. I didn't know how to shop for bargains, balance a checkbook or manage my money. I was raised to beleive that if you work hard you will do well. That is not necessarilly the case. Life is competitive. You either choose to compete or you don't, however, we are not all endowed with equal abillities. Handicaps are not always visible. Some people seem to have been born with everythiong going for them. Others seem to never get a break. I am a healthy middle aged individual. All I have ever wanted is to be able to earn a moderate living. This I have accomplished but it is not a secure living nor is it moderate to everyone's standards. According to most people I have a moderate house, 2 used cars and the abilities to pay the bills and still have a little left over however I make twice as much as the average individual. There are many things I could do without, such as the second car and all expenses incured by it, my multimedia system including my computer, tv's, vcrs'dvds, cell phones... And then, there's all my other belongings such as boats, bikes, fancy clothes, toys, gadgets, dining out, nightclubs and all the expenses incurred therein as well. All this and I live alone! I know many familys with four generations living under the same roof just to survive. Now, here is the point, would I be willing to share it all if I knew I could get a family or even an individual off the street? Would you?\n I think the biggest cause of poverty is a lack of understanding, a willingness to turn a blind eye.\n Laziness? Yes, I feel laziness is the root cause of poverty, not on behalf of the impoverished but on behalf of all of us who continue to allow it to go on, all of us who feel someone else will do something about it.\n How do we fix it? Seek those who have not, find out why not and help them to overcome.\n Put and end to beurocracy, pork barrel programs, illicit foreign aid, tax evaders and gougers so we can have the money it will take to help.\n Teach our schools to focus more on 'Life Economics' and make it a requirement. Identify the individual talents of children and guide them along the right path for them. Don't penalize and ridicule them because they may not be good at math, taking tests or sports. Stop being so damned two dimensional and realise there is a universe of possibilities awaiting all of us if we could only recognise the abillities of all individuals istead of a stereotyped few. Please forgive my longwinded answer but your's was a question worthy of the time. May we all prevail.

Raised as a foster child with no real home I found myself in a situation where I felt I was a "reject of the system". As I was passed from one bad situation to another I decided that the only way to improve my situation was to part ways from my "home".\n\nI dropped out of highschool and picked up several jobs and lived out of my car, it may seem like a bad situation but it was far better then the abuse and neglict I had been dealing with. Years later on hard work I was able to better myself and put myself in a situation that was far closer to a "normal" life.\n\nMy motivation was to get away from the horrors I had to tolerate, the abuse, the neglect, and the fact that the "system" had abandoned me and turned its back on me and any time there was an issue I was passed to another foster home that at most times was far worse then the one prior to it.

Teens need to learn that there are limits and boundaries to what they can do.  You just talk about them and don´t expect them to accept it on face value. Tell them what will happen if they don´t respect those limits, not in terms of threat but in terms of reasoning with them.  They understand that out there, there are traffic lights, bills to pay and other "real-life" limitations to comply.  Don´t become a police for them.  Teach them that everyone is responsible for order and good keeping of the places they inhabit.

Check at your local library and community centers.  they may be able to point you in  the right direction.  Many communities offer summer programs for kids - you might be able toget involved in those.  Volunteer at a  crisis center or shelter - that is good experience.  Also, many crisis lines are answered by volunteers and training is provided for them.

I think we could learn from the extremists of society. They "harness" the children in religious schools. It works for them. But we are too busy with things like personal rights of teachers and students to be good at training our youth to recognize real social value.

Calling the police will get the kids to stay out of the street.  By making the call, the police will stop and talk to them, and tell them to stay out of the street.  Usally an encounter with police will make a kid really think next time before doing that again.

Because doing a good deed will get you good karma. But more reasonably, it's very sad to see kids living out on the streets. Hopefully it'll decrease the number of gangs in a city. Basically, everybody has some potential. Kids living on the street can also have hidden talents and potential. Everybody deserves a time to shine and be happy. Depression can be a sad thing to experience and especially if it's happening constantly everyday. Doing something kind for a human being is all one should think of. Kids still have a full life ahead of them. It's too early to be living out on the streets at such a young age.

One very good way is to set up an organization that would help people find children that needed and wanted to work.  There are many tings that people under the so called working age can do.  \n\nBy setting up a non profit and voluntary group in the neighborhood to oversee the work that children do you can help prevent abuse of children.  \n\nChildren should work according to their age and ability at an early age to learn.  \n\nToo many in the developed nations do not learn the value of work and work ethics while young and when they become adults have a very difficult time coping with life as it really is.  \n\nMost people in the so called west have too much and do not value what they do have.  Most are like spoiled brats all their lives.

Because kids are learning who they are and they don't understand all the feelings inside of them... It can be a confusing process to become an adult.  \n\nRules of society and all the ideals that are around them - make it hard to figure out what is right and what is wrong and how to go about living thier lives... they are getting more freedom but with that comes more responsibility.  That can be painful to learn.

Who the hell do you think you are to judge parents for their kids morals?!\n\nParents give what they can to their kids, we can't force them to live by what we believe is right, or wrong.  All we can do is give them the tools, and pray for the best.\n\nThe young people you think have no morals may be the very doctors, nurses, or lawyers you need in the future!

There are registered offenders, whom you know to look out for.  Then there are those who haven't been caught.  \n\nThe world is an imperfect place. As a parent, teach your children all you can.  Arm them with knowledge so you know they'll be safe even when you're not around. \n\n.
