Today in class we continued watching the video. We learned about how in India people of young age are being forced to take care of their families. There was a young lady in the video who was about 16 years old, and she was forced to take care of her family, all five of them. Their parents had died, and so she was the eldest and she had to take over. HIV Aids is very common in India. Many people get it from other people. Prostitution is a main way of getting the disease everywhere. The lady I was talking about before had to get into prostitution in order that she would be able to help her family out because no one would hire her. Eventually, she got HIV Aids, and had the break the news to her family. She would most likely not survive from this.
