Social Awareness #3

Observations about my surroundings:
Marijuana
Being "Fake"
Bullying
Poverty
Insecurities about yourself

I chose to write about poverty. I'm choosing to write about this because there is too much poverty happening in not just the United States, but the whole world. I don't get why there is so much. Everyone has money so what does that money go in use for? Smoking? Drinking? People are using money for ridiculous things these days while not even thinking about other people that are in need of it. All the time I take the A train to East New York and there is not one day when I see a poor man walking around asking for money. Or a man sleeping on the subway seats.My heart actually breaks because I start to wonder how do those people really feel being homeless? Or without a family to love? Especially without food. That must be really scary. Trust me I experience this all the time. There's this guy, with no legs, just sitting outside of a 7/11 on Ave U in Brooklyn. Every time I go there, he's there. So every time I come out of 7/11, I always give him my change.
Most of the times, I give all the loose change in my pocket.
Sometimes I just can't take it seeing someone on the train begging for money. It just kills my mood because I get so sad for them and it kills me to think what if I were them?
