THP For Foster Youth: A Case Study

Decent Essays

Allowing me to temporarily rent out an apartment for a low budget, until I turn the age of 23, or transfer by next year to one of the Universities I applied for. Also, while I was working at Carl's Jr., it was not after a year of 12th grade I was working there, instead a couple of months after I graduated, because I was not able to place this in the application

They boast about having the most talented high school football teams, the tastiest barbeque, and the finest country music. However, because there are numerous great qualities about Texas, it makes it easy for the not so great qualities to just fly under the radar. One of those not so great qualities is the brokenness of the Texas foster care system. In 2016, over 200 children in Texas were killed by child abuse, leaving Texas as the state with the highest child fatalities.…

    Being a critic for such a vulnerable community is difficult because ethically the critic has to separate himself or herself from being influenced by the misconceptions of the foster youth community that society has created. One misconception that society has for foster youth that are placed in relative foster homes is that they do not experience the same emotional turmoil as other foster youth that are placed in foster homes with non-relatives. By including quotes from the poems in the book about the conversation between the author and his parents on the topic of love, it is clear how complex and how impactful the opinions of biological parents have on their child regardless of him being raised by his uncle. Author Demontae Thompson is attempting…

    As a first generation undocumented college student there is great privilege and pride in attending the University of California, Santa Barbara. However with that there is also many obstacles and struggles that I have faced in order to survive and thrive in this institution, one of them is my need for financial aid. Coming from a low-income, single mother household I do not rely on my mother for financial support because I already know she struggles to feed my siblings and pay their bills. As a result I am sending my mother money on a monthly basis in order for her to complete rent for the month and afford groceries. Due to the fact that I am constantly sending my mother and household money in order to contribute to their survival, I have been working two part-time jobs while still being a full-time student in order to make my needs to be met as well.…

    In 2014 a child entered foster care every two minutes (Statistics, 2014). Out of the four-hundred thousand children in foster care, twenty percent of those are teenagers between the ages of sixteen and twenty (Helping Youth, 2013). Out of that twenty percent, one in five teenagers will essentially emancipate or sign them out of care if they are not adopted before the age of eighteen leaving many jobless, homeless, throwing away education, and with very little independent living skills (Helping Youth, 2013). As well, once a teen is no longer in foster care any services they may have been receiving are completely stopped; in addition, they are also left without health insurance. This is particularly alarming since statistically speaking, foster…

    Foster Care a Trapped Door Is foster care a safety net or a trapped door? Children come into foster care needing a safe place. They need to be able to either find a adopted home, be reunified with their parents or parent, or live in a stable home with a family member. Instead, children come into the foster care system in which they move from foster home to foster home, without loving parents or a permanent family. While in foster care, if they have not been adopted by the age of 9, they will most likely be in foster care until they reach age 18 and “age out” of the system.…

    Introduction The government is more interested in the War on Terrorism then the terror in the eyes of over 700,000 children who have been horrifically abused; physically, mentally and sexually, along with being neglected or abandoned, by the hands of the ones they entrusted to love, care and provide for them, the parents of America (Numbers reflected by the National Foster Care Coalition, 2013). “Nearly 58% of children in foster care have been removed from their families for neglect. About 19% of all children who are maltreated are physically abused, 10% are sexually abused, and 7% psychologically abused. The remaining 6% of maltreated children experience educational or medical neglect.” (Children's Voice, Dec 2005 – Child Welfare League…
