They don't get clean clothes to wear everyday and they also don't get to take a shower every day like we are able to do. Some poor people spend thier money on drugs like marijuana, smoking, and more.

__How stuff works:__**How the game Sorry works** To win this game, you must get all of your pieces in the "HOME" circle. The objects you need are: the gameboard, 4 pieces for each color, and the stack of cards to play with. The cards tell you how many spaces to move and the cards have directions on them to tell you what to do. Sll the numbers are not included on the cards.To start you need to pick a color red,blue,green or yellow and get the four figures for that color. You put your figures in the "START" circle. You have to get a 1 or 2 to get out of the Start circle. If you get a "SORRY" card that means that you take __one__ player and knock out the closest player be your home/safe place. You put the figure that you knocked out back at their Start circle. You have to go around the whole board and when you are by the Start circle there will be a home spot, that is where you want all your players to end up. When you get a 4, the rule is go back 4 instead of foward so, if you just got out of Start then you move back 4 spaces and you just saved your self a whole trip around the board. There are other cards that have weird things fir you to do.The safety zone is where the home spot is. The home spot has 5 squares underneath which connect to the board. In between those 5 squares nobody can get you out. When you get to a slide, you can slide down until you see an arrow. The arrow is the start of the slide and also the stop. When you get all 4 figures in the home circle the you WIN!!!!!
