Poverty is a growing problem in America that not everyone sees, maybe by choice or oblivion. People see that countries like Africa are in poverty and feel that our country is nothing like that. We have more food, clothing, and housing opportunities and in a lot better condition. Poverty can effects anyone from adults to kids and many families and people are suffering from it in America.
This cartoon helps prove the point that poverty effects everyone including children. The boy is this cartoon looks like he isn't even a teenager yet and the ball attached to him is dragging him down. Kids dealing with poverty within their family can effect their lives too. College is usually a goal of most kids and being in poverty can hinder their opportunity to be able to attend college. Also if a kid has to help support his family and get a job it can effect his life in many ways especially his social life and education.
