Well anyway, I have reasons for my opinion. It's kinda hard for me to explain, but I will try. Basicly, if you are born poor, you should do something about. I mean, there are lots of people out there who had no help from their parents and made it just fine. If you know this about you/your family, start working on it. It's obviously your responsibilty to make your life turn out good.
So, you might ask how are people supposed to go about doing that? Well, this is the part I can't really explain. Use your talents to your ability. Go get a job, get training, get education, etc. Like I said, I can't tell you exactly how because it would depend on your situation.
And if you're just gonna ***** about how "I should try it" or whatever....well....I could really care less. The only reason I'm posting in this thread is because it was my original post that was used.
Your well entitled to your opinion.
Im doing just fine putting myself through school, i definately am taking advantage of any and every financil aide oppurtunity possible. But in thrid world country's they dont even GET public school, let alone FINANCIAL aide for college. So saying that every poor / poverty stricken person can just "Do something about it" Is a VERY naieve comment. Its upsetting that you think like this, but again its your opinion. so be it.
and yes i could of just looked your name up, but it was helal workbecausethere are so many replies and 25 questions and answers per reply, it was too much work. I had to go to work, and i didnt have time.
And you're 14 years old, that could be why you think like this. Not because you're 14, but because when I was 14 i thought the same way, and i know everyone is different but at 14 your more self involved then at 19.
Oh i should shut up now before i offend someone and get my post locked.
EDIT: have you ever thought of the kids that cant get an education because they spend all of theyre time working to try to help support their families?
Yup or even themselves. My friend, both of her parents died when she was still in highschool, she didnt get the talk show and the millions in donations, no she is going to community college and she got her ged because she had to quit highschool to take care of her brothers.
And me, i had to fend for myself now and im highschool, ever since i COULD legally work i have been, even before i could legally work i did, why ? Because a house is all my mom will give me. Food and clothes im on my own. ESPECIALLY with school. Im willing to give up 90 % of my life to work two jobs and go to school so my life is better. Most people would just choose to work some entry level job most of theyre life just so they can get by.
Either way its effort in the right direction. To just assume theyre not trying because theyre poor is a HORRIBLE assumption. I dont see the logic, unless you've grown up fairly well off.
And as they said previousely, theyr enot just going to quit working to go to school, they haveto eat and pay rent while in school, the world is not going to stop because they want to make theyre life better.
the live aid concert could have raised money and awareness instead of just awareness
