Poverty is one of the major problems that our society is facing today. The Philippines is ranked as the ninth among countries with the highest burden of stunting worldwide. Many of the children in the Philippines suffers from malnutrition since it is said that poverty is the underlying cause of it.
We can see a lot of children in the streets without nothing to eat and their parents weren’t able to provide their needs. The health and the future of these young and innocent children are affected because of poverty.
Lack of education, lack of discipline, over population, and lack of job opportunities keep on pulling people down leading to poverty which affect the society, especially children. Parents have nothing to provide to their children because they lack discipline. Most children we see outside begging for food are the example of this. They keep on adding more children in their family without thinking about their future. They did not think wether they are not capable of supplying their needs. Their lack of work cannot sustain the needs of their children making the children suffer in hunger.
Family as a major part of society, has the biggest responsibility in sustaining and providing their needs. And so parents should discipline themselves as part of the ways preventing poverty and they should fulfil their responsibilities in providing the needs of their young ones.
