Is Proverty a Stressor for small children???

The stressor that I believe mostly impact children in a negative way is poverty.  I am almost certain that it is hard for a child to focus on positive things in life if they are hungry or live in a violtale situation.  For me growing up we struggled financially and sometimes it stressed me and my sisters out because kids would pick on us because of our clothes it really made it hard to attend school but we did it anyway because we had some great and kind teachers.  However, the words that they echoed everyday was hurtful.  We did not understand why we did not have what everyone else had.  I love to give back now that I am an adult because I was once there.  I have learned to be a stronger individual. 

 A majority of the worlds poorest people today are in Asia – mainly because it holds a majority of the world’s population. Of course some Asian countries like Japan and South Korea are not as poor as others like India and Cambodia, with Asian poverty being concentrated in South Asia. Poverty in some Asian countries seems largely due to the pressure of excessive population growth on scarce resources and inadequate governments allowing strongly negative caste discrimination. Education, medicine, clean water and sanitation are often inadequate.

  1. I could definitely see how poverty could stress young children out. Even today in this world with your personal example the stress leads to more serve things now. Its sad that children will pick on others because they have less. The part about it that you learn how to cope and made it through it. It is many young children that had to face such torture and decided that it was not worth living anymore, all because the child had a little less than them. thanks for sharing!!
