I've lived in poor areas and in well to do areas in California . Kids tend to live the life they see around them , the one everyone they know has . It is the rare person that can break away and aim higher than the people around them. It's hard to be motivated if your hungry & / or scared most of the time. Education is a big key to getting out but the schools in poor areas are lacking in so many ways. Having someone's baby can be seen as a way to show your love or a way to try to hold on to someone. Some boys see getting a girl pg shows the world they are a man . Poverty is a very convoluted problem and birth control or lack of it is just a part of the puzzle that can't be fixed with out taking in to consideration all the other pieces of the poverty puzzle .
IIN not to understand why poorer people have higher birth rates?
