[QUOTE="Technut1990, post: 815355, member: 3774"] im not against the programs and you are right poverty isn’t necessarily caused by poor decisions for every individual BUT there was likely poor decisions made by those who had influence and responsibilities. An abusive dad or alcoholic mom effects children and the emotional damage they incur is not their fault. however somewhere in their lives someone was making poor decisions, decisions that taught the child to follow patterns they see or saw. Those patterns are usually repeatedly doing what mom or dad did, which wasn’t helpful in the first place. Education for those kids can break the cycle but when it’s given and ignored it falls flat. The gang culture is an example. We hear all the time that kids are trying to escape these areas and escaping is good when you can but when you are emulating dad or cousins who are gang banging you aren’t poor because you are necessarily stupid, you are poor because of the lifestyle your family raised you to live, the impact of poor parental decisions, not necessarily the abuse or education. the dynamic isn’t necessarily that they are poor ( I grew up poor but not abused) it’s that it’s hard to break bad practices. When your family is desolate and dad spends his money on cigarettes and gambles it’s a lesson the kids don’t escape. [/QUOTE]
