mother help: Why is it people who don’t deserve Government Assistance, are the ones who get it! - Help.com

You still have wonderful children don’t you? Even though you have no money the child/children you have are worth it? I don’t know what country you are from so I don’t know what help is offered, I know it is hard being a single mother and normally there is groups or people that do help out when there are troubles. It’s so expensive to live in the UK that a lot of teenagers get pregnant because they didn’t achieve well in school and there is not much hope for them, and also some are just lazy. When you are a pregnant young person you get free dental, free medical care, free bus pass, and benefits for children and things like job seekers allowance. You also get supplied with accomodation from the council. There is huge waiting lists for these things but you get them eventually. I work extremely hard for £6/hr, and I live by myself and I have to pay for everything and more money goes out a month than comes in and I’m having to sell my possessions monthly just to get by. If I want any help or money I’m not entitled unless I have a child or I turn 25. I don’t understand why only people over the age of 25 get benefits. Why not people who need it instead of lazy people.

If it was my way I’d give you benefits anyday.

Although I am an older man, I can sympathize with you. Here in Canada, single mothers have a very difficult time. I know this because I worked at a food bank and also I live in a poor neighbourhood where I meet many single mothers.
The prevalence of single parent families in this time is an indicater that there is something terribly wrong. I think the problem is caused by our fake economic model. A full explanation of what I mean by this is too long to put here.
You seem to be blaming other people on assistance. I think this is a hugh mistake on your part. We will not find solutions to these types of problems by simply getting mad at a group of people we don’t like the looks of.
Confuscious said “What you are mad at isn’t realy what you are mad at.
It may not be very satisfying to get mad at an economic model but I think it is the model that is flawed.
