To clean ones home costs nothing whatever type of home you have

I am sick of people useing poverty as a excuse to be dirty buggers

MumPaula America sounds like a very tough country to fall on hard times in Sad

Your insight into this is fascinating but also very uncomfortable reading.

I don't know how the American political elite can justify or condone this type of situation [homeless children, the elderly unable to afford the medication they require] when they live in one of the wealthiest countries on the planet.

It makes me very very grateful that I live here and that we have the NHS and benefits system, all of which is ideally designed to protect the most vulnerable in society.

OP maybe you should put down the Daily Mail and pick up a book on grammar, sentence construction, and spelling?

'
Both parents were graduating so were obviously trying to be responsible and get the qualifications needed to support the baby. Again here in the UK lots of teen Mums end up having to drop out of school due to lack of support with looking after their child and studying. The Dad, school and the girl's family all deserve praise for ensuring the girl got the support needed to continue to attend school and complete her studies despite the challenges of pregnancy and babycare.

Very good points there.

Adverse the numbers of homeless here is on the rise- especially I believe amongst the vulnerable disabled groups. Which is shameful. There was someone living rough in our Church garden for most of last week with very cold weather Sad (under a covered gate area so at least dry)
