Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that youth who have spent time in foster care are more likely to experience unintended pregnancies, homelessness, involvement in the criminal justice system, and unemployment compared to the general population. These challenges can be attributed to a lack of stability, support, and resources while in care, which can lead to difficulties in transitioning to adulthood. While some youth may develop resilience and life skills, these positive outcomes are not as prevalent as the negative ones. Choice A and B are not accurate as there is limited access to college funding and insufficient support to develop life skills. Choice D is also not accurate as overworking and living alone is not a documented outcome of foster care for youth.
