I very much enjoyed reading and evaluating this research article. The different categories are really helpful in distributing the information. I really liked the way you had the definitions along with various dimensions. It makes you look at the issue at a different angle. Reading the causes section made me even sadder. The number of children abandoned by their parents is just overwhelming. The issue, “Homeless Youth” had not much entered my mind before this article, even though I knew it is happening in the world. After reading the research done, it just makes me sad to believe that there are parents out there who feel the need to abandon their child no matter how old they are. The statistics in this research just amazed me. It’s a frustrating matter that hopefully as time goes by, it will decrease.
The consequences section is tightly done. I love the way any details stated are given priority by an end result, an analysis of what its consequence is. The way its written and described in a way to illustrate a cause and result situation is absolutely marvelous. Other than that, just to add one more thing for the recommendation section is to perhaps give ideas on how society can help reach youth by these and other programs. Great job overall of the research.
