I think farmers were impacted the most beacause they lost all of there machinery and crops and worst of all there land most had to move west with just very little money

I think teens had the most impact mentally as they were harder on themselves and considered themselves "burdens". This mental impact forces them to do more work and jobs and push themselves harder.

2026-03-17 13:49:44 UTC

I think teens had the most impact because they had to take care of families themselves, and being a burden which takes a toll on you mentally at a young age.

I think teenagers were the most impacted by the Great Depression because they suffered like adults. They felt as if they were burdens to their families and looked for work for miles. This can negatively affect both the physical and mental health.

2026-03-17 13:51:00 UTC

I think the workers were most affected because they lost their families main source of income.

varagoncillo30 — 2026-03-17 13:51:48 UTC

I think teens had the most impact because they had to do so much at such a young age like providing for their families who were starving. They also considered themselves "burdens".

albruno30 — 2026-03-17 13:53:21 UTC

Farmers impacted me the most because all of their hard work got destroyed due to the dust storms and they were basically forced to leave their home to look for a new place to live because the dust storms created a dust bowl region making it unlivable

2026-03-17 13:54:51 UTC

I think teens were most impacted by the Great Depression because they were very hard on themselves. They insisted on taking care of their families and went on trains to provide food.

lbellomo30 — 2026-03-17 13:56:34 UTC

I think that teens had the most impact not only mentally, but physically. They were basically forcing themselves to have hard work put on themselves for their family to keep them from starving. They called themselves "burdens" for how much their pushing themselves with all this work such as jumping on a train just to look for work, so their families won't have to worry about things such as starving, or being in debt. This puts an impact on them the most because they have to worry about all this work and deal with it at such a young age.

Caterina Q

I think teenagers were the most impacted by the Great Depression because they left their starving families, feeling like burdens, to go look for jobs outside of their home area.

Catherine Pierce

cpierce301 — 2026-03-17 14:01:55 UTC

I believe teenagers were impacted the greatest amount in the Great Depression Era. This is due to the fact that since they perpetually depicted themselves as "burdens", they were mentally harder on themselves. This constant mental battle caused teens to physically exert themselves to "do better". Most would usually take this too far and it would cause harm.

Leah C

2026-03-17 14:02:03 UTC

I think that bankers were most affected by the Great Depression because after banks failed and closed, all bankers lost their jobs, meaning they could not provide for themselves and their families.

Farmer

2026-03-17 14:23:48 UTC

Farmers were impacted the most because the Dustbowl destroyed all crops and forced farmers to move out of their homes.

Shihan M

2026-03-17 14:47:19 UTC

I think teens had the most impact because of their mental health. Teens' bodies are still growing, so is their brain. Teens' working early can cause depression and early maturity.

sean

2026-03-17 14:48:03 UTC

I think the African Americans were effected the most because of existing discrimination. Many African Americans had to deal with discrimination and racism.

Vanessa K

2026-03-17 14:48:19 UTC

I think that American families had the most impact mentally because most parents were unemployed and they had to live in tents and shacks. Most people waited on bread lines for food and some would wait for several hours just to get to the front and see the food is gone. Most parents had it hard because they could hardly ever have food to put on the table for their kids.

Greg D

gdelgiorno30 — 2026-03-17 14:48:34 UTC

I think farmers were the most affected by the Great Depression. Dust Storms ruined farmers across the Midwest, thousands of them, from Texas to North Dakota. In 1935 what later became known as the "Dust Bowl" devastated these farmers, draining all income.

Avery Stanton

2026-03-17 14:49:12 UTC

Factory workers were the most impacted by the Great Depression. During the Roaring Twenties they had a stable money source and were doing well. But when the Great Depression hit, they lost their jobs, their homes and had to beg for work when there was none to be given.

Leah R

lrodriguez302 — 2026-03-17 14:49:14 UTC

I think teens were the most impacted because once their families couldn't provide anymore, teens thought of themselves as burdens and left home. Teens are the most impacted because they ran from home to find jobs or better housing by jumping on trains. Teens were hard on themselves and it might have brought down their mental health.

lfontana30 — 2026-03-17 14:49:17 UTC

I think African Americans were affected the most by the Great Depression because they lost the same amount as the regular American family plus being treated decently during the Roaring 20s. Not only did they also lose their houses, money, cars, jobs, but they also had a harder time trying to get those things back because of segregation and racism

Mia J

2026-03-17 14:49:23 UTC

I would say teens had it the hardest because they believed they were burdens to their family's. Teens would think that they were burdens, run away, and find work to support their family. During this time it seems that teens would push themselves harder and harder during this time.

Zara R

zrizvi30 — 2026-03-17 14:49:27 UTC

I think the teenagers were the most impacted because they had to suffer like the adults and they had to leave their families to find some money and a house to live in. They also felt as if they were burdens on their family and traveled miles away from their home to find a job and housing. This can affect their mental and physical health negatively.

Elaina Chew

2026-03-17 14:49:39 UTC

Teens were impacted the most during this time because they were suffering because no one in their family could make money or provide for them. They could also been living in a small tent because they lost their home. Due to this, most teens thought they were a burden to their families and ran away. They jumped on trains to look for work and housing outside of their town.

Farmers

abruno301 — 2026-03-17 14:49:49 UTC

I think farmers suffered the most from the Great Depression because the dust storms ruined the ground and killed livestock. This made it difficult to grow and sell crops for the little amount they were worth at that point. If farmers couldn't afford their farms, it would be taken away from them and they would have to find a new place to work.

Anthony Bruno

2026-03-17 14:49:56 UTC

The American families where impacted the most throughout the Great Depression. This impacted them the most because unlike other people, they had multiple mouths to feed and support not just their own. When people where let go from their jobs (Mothers, fathers) they now had no income to support their families. Any parent would want the best for their kid, and living in tents and waiting on long soup lines for a whole family is not a life a mother wants for her children.

2026-03-17 14:50:11 UTC

I think that teenagers were the most impacted by the Great Depression because they had to do so much at a young age. They considered themselves as "burdens" then decided to run off and push themselves to provide and take care of their family's

Miranda

2026-03-17 14:50:35 UTC

I think that farmers were impacted most by the Great Depression. This is because farmers had to leave the farms due to the dust bowl with their families to move out west. This was hard for them because they had to leave their money sources to start over. Most farmers crops died and farms filled with a lot of dust. This caused them to lose their jobs and any way to make money.

Aubrey

aloccisano30 — 2026-03-17 14:50:41 UTC

I think that teens had the most impact mentally and physically. They were thinking of themselves as burdens with all that they were doing, and would run away from their homes. They would go looking for jobs so they could provide for their families so they wouldn't worry to much about getting food and things like that.

Brayden Tuschong

btuschong30 — 2026-03-17 14:50:46 UTC

I believe factory workers were impacted the greatest during the Great Depression time period. This is due to the fact that many factories were over-producing goods, and having to shut down, cut down worker paychecks, or laying off workers all together. This led to unemployment to increase greatly in America and many former factory workers could not provide for their families and lost their houses. The problems with the factories led to millions of families being impacted throughout the country, increasing poverty in the Great Depression

2026-03-17 14:50:47 UTC

I think teenagers had the most impact because they thought they were burdens to their family's and tried to find work to help support their family's

Aidan Sharon

2026-03-17 14:50:54 UTC

I personally believe that American families were the most affected from the Great Depression due to the hardships they faced. Many families lost their homes, jobs, and sources of income. People in families needed to stand and wait in bread lines and soup kitchens for hours with absolutely no end, just for a slice of bread or a simple can of soup to provide to the entire family. The President Herbert Hoover was no help to them either, he threw them to the side, not caring for these innocent struggling people in any way, forcing them to move into Hooverville.

Ava Vanpelt

2026-03-17 14:50:55 UTC

Teenagers arguably were more impacted during the Great Depression because they were put into a time of which they must figure out how to become a young adult when the economy was failing, people didn't have houses, and the average adult wasn't even able to thrive at the time. Likely, schools weren't as greatly funded as they were during the 1920's which decreases the amount of education given. In conclusion, Teens suffered the most because they had new responsibilities and less help.

Addison

2026-03-17 14:50:55 UTC

I think teenagers were impacted the most in the great depression era. The teenagers felt like they were a burden to their family and was putting so much weight on themselves sometimes to much so they ran away to make there parents life easier.

Teenagers- Adriana Peters

adpeters30 — 2026-03-17 14:51:01 UTC

Teenagers must have struggled the most, when they feel like burdens like wont talk about their feelings. When some ran away they didn't have anything, no money no food and no home. They had a choice but no one should feel like a burden. Their families must have not treated them right. Some were very young and didn't know how to try to get a job or even provide for themselves.

eaguilar30 — 2026-03-17 14:51:34 UTC

In my opinion I think that workers were affected the most during the great depression because many people had to provide for their families and they could not due to the fact that many workers were the provider. Additionally they had to wait in bread lines just to get food for their families. They also most likely did not have a house because they had no job and they had to go to Oklahoma to see if there was any fruit plantations.

I think that the American families had the most impacted because a lot of parents were unemployed and couldn't finds jobs which led to losing their homes and living in tents and shacks. Many people waited hours on lines. Most parents want the best for their kids and they way they were living wasn't.

2026-03-17 14:52:31 UTC

I think that teenagers had the biggest impact not just physically but mentally. This is because they considered themselves as a burdened. This led them to leave their families by sneaking onto a train. They also pushed themselves to get jobs by doing this. This was because they thought by doing this their family's would need less food. George Labib

Teenagers - Adriana Peters

adpeters30 — 2026-03-17 14:53:18 UTC

Most teenagers were most impacted. They ran away from their home at young ages and couldn't provided. Their families had to have not treated them right. They would have to learn or to get jobs, cook for themselves and try to find a home. They didn't have anywhere to go and mostly hopped on trains.

Nazrene Robeniol

2026-03-17 14:53:44 UTC

The American Family was impacted the most as numerous families were affected both mentally and physically. Parents would have to wait in line for hours to get food, live in tents, and hope their burdened children wouldn't leave. The Great Depression made families go through harsh, uncertain conditions to provide for their family.

Nicholas Friedrich

2026-03-17 16:55:08 UTC

I think that the factory workers were impacted the most because during the Great Depression they lost their jobs which made them lose a lot of money. This is a serious problem because they can't provide for their family or themselves. They had to beg to be hired.

Brynn H

2026-03-17 16:56:00 UTC

I think that American Familys were most impacted because most parents didn't have enough money or jobs during this time and couldn't support there family. Some even couldn't find jobs and ended up losing there house. Family's waited hours on line to get food, and sometimes there wasn't even any left for them.

Aiden Escobar

2026-03-17 16:56:08 UTC

The American Families were most impacted by The Great Depression. During The Great Depression many of these people would lose their jobs. Most of the factory workers, worked to provide for their families. Now that they were laid off and didn't have a job, they had no way to provide and get items and necessities that their family and themselves needed. This then led to many families to become homeless and force to live in places such as "Hooverville".

Charlotte Welsh

cwelsh30 — 2026-03-17 16:56:29 UTC

I think American families were impacted by this the most because many families started to lose jobs, and were forced to become homeless. It was so hard for families to support themselves. They had to wait on long lines just for bread, or soup kitchens. Sometimes the food would run out before some families got to the front.

Sean L

2026-03-17 16:56:41 UTC

I feel that the American family would have the biggest effect on there living in the great depression as they would lose many necessities in there lives and may fall into debt or lose all money with there past purchases. Additionally they would run into more financial troubles with banks not having there money causing them to fall into depression forcing them to go on lines for food that may run out.

Justin Brown

2026-03-17 16:56:46 UTC

I think the Factory workers had the most impact because if they didn't get a job they could not support their family.

Thomas S

2026-03-17 16:56:57 UTC

I personally think that farmers were most affected during the great depression because before the great depression they worked hard to grow crops and keep them in a sustainability cycle. But when the great depression hit the farmers hard work went bad. Crops died, Livestock was killed and they couldn't make any profit from the crops. On top of that the drought meant they had no water and a big storm called a dust bowl would hit them pretty often. They then had to leave and be called migrant workers who moved to mostly California.

Declan B

dbrock30 — 2026-03-17 16:57:10 UTC

I think African Americans were negatively impacted mentally the most from the Great Depression. Despite already facing discrimination and just recently gaining more rights, they had to deal with the economy as well. With that many things to think about, it was a struggle to earn money while dealing with discrimination. They were the same as American Families, and workers, but they were just dealing with a whole lot more.

Morgan Shine

2026-03-17 16:57:11 UTC

I feel that American families were impacted by the Great Depression the most because both the parents and the children were impacted. American parents would try their best to provide for their families/children and sometimes wouldn't be able to. Many children also felt that they were hurting their families and making their parents lives harder so they would run away.

Aaira

amohammed301 — 2026-03-17 16:57:47 UTC

During the Great Depression, American families were impacted the most because they had to wait in long lines for food and sometimes were homeless and had to live in a weak tent or shack. Children didn't have enough to eat and parents struggled to find jobs to earn money and support the family. Overall, American families had been impacted the most and had great burdens upon them.

Troy lewis

2026-03-17 16:58:04 UTC

I think teenagers had the most impact, they ran away just so there family had 1 less mouth to feed.

Alyssa Knakal

aknakal30 — 2026-03-17 16:58:42 UTC

I think American families were the most impacted because parents had to care for more people in the family like their children to make sure everyone was getting what they needed. If parents lost their jobs, the family could become homeless and have to live out of tents. In order to get just a bit of food they had to wait on long lines but sometimes didn't even get the food needed to feed the family because they ran out.

Christopher B

cbonura30 — 2026-03-17 16:58:50 UTC

I think that the American family was most affected because many families lost jobs and housing. The families had to go live in tents due to this. Along with families losing jobs and housing, they had to wait in long lines for little food. The food that they would receive would barely be enough for the whole day. Some families waiting on line would not get food at all because the food would run out. The Great Depression affected many American families negatively.

Fallon

2026-03-17 16:58:53 UTC

I think American families had the most impact because parents would lose their jobs and they would become homeless. They had to live in tents. They would also have to wait on line for food like bread and soup and sometimes they would not even get food. They had more people to feed and it would be harder to get food for everyone not just yourself.

Ava Chew

achew30 — 2026-03-17 17:00:00 UTC

I think farmers were the most impacted by the Great Depression. Farmers had their crops, land, and homes destroyed from droughts, dust storms, and overproduction. On top of that they were struggling to make any reasonable money, profit from buyers, and to feed their own families. Due to this distress farmers had no other choice but to leave their homes with their family and look for a new home and jobs.

Grace L

2026-03-17 17:00:11 UTC

I think that American families were most impacted in the Great Depression. Many adults lost their jobs and became unemployed. Because of this, it caused people to be homeless and people were forced to live in tents. Families had to wait hours on line just to get a very small amount of food for their families. Sometimes, the food would run out, and they would wait on line for hours and wouldn't be able to get any food. Also, families could be split up since some teens felt like a burden to their families and they would have to leave home to find other homes or housing.

Chris R

2026-03-17 17:00:40 UTC

I think the American family had the most impact in San Francisco in 1933. The grim-faced man in the foreground is holding a tin cup to hold the soup being served. Sadly, many of the breadlines and soup kitchens would be out of food before all the needy were served. Tent cities formed across the nation.

Kasey K

2026-03-17 18:19:25 UTC

Lots of people lost their no and no way to get it back because of their being no water and having to over work the land of crops.

Salvatore Vitale

2026-03-17 18:19:33 UTC

Farmers were the most impacted by the great depression by the dust bowl and losing their farming jobs. They also had to migrate to get a new job.

Joelle Alam

2026-03-17 18:20:21 UTC

I think teens had the most impact because they considered themselves as "burdens" to their families and they also ran away so they could find jobs to work out of the city they also jump on trains which is shocking at this time but it was a normal thing back then.

James

2026-03-17 18:20:32 UTC

African Americans were most affected by the Great Depression because they were already facing the challenges of discrimination. Now, they are losing all of their money from the Great Depression. Also, they were just gaining more rights due to the Roaring 20s, now they are back to being discriminated against. This is why I think African Americans were most affected by the Great Depression.

John Albrecht

2026-03-17 18:20:53 UTC

I believe that the American Families had the biggest impact of the Great Depression. I think this because most families lost jobs, which they could have also been farmers, factory workers, or farmers. They also lost their houses due to not being able to play their bills. To get food for their families, they had to wait on lines constantly and if they were unlucky, there could have not been anymore rations left for the families.

Olivia

obroglia30 — 2026-03-17 18:21:02 UTC

I think that American families had the most impact because most families were living in tents with horrible conditions. They were no longer able to afford basic things such as a house, food, or water. The number of homeless families was constantly increasing during the Great Depression. Unlike other people, parents had to help themselves and their children, making it even harder to live.

Travis Charles

tcharles30_1 — 2026-03-17 18:21:24 UTC

I think American families were most impacted during the great depression because parents ended up becoming unemployed and were not able to provide for their family because they had no source of income. American families had to live in tents and had to wait in lines for hours.

Isabella B

ibocamazo30 — 2026-03-17 18:21:47 UTC

The american families had a hard time. They lost their houses and wanted on constant food lines. This impacted them because they had no way to support their families since they did not have any money.

Kenzie

2026-03-17 18:21:53 UTC

I think that the American Families were the most impacted because most ended up losing their homes and its hard for them to get any food source.

Manseerat Kaur

mkaur30_2 — 2026-03-17 18:21:55 UTC

I think Factory workers were affected the most by the Great Depression. If it weren't for the Great Depression factory workers would still have jobs and money and there wouldn't be an issue of overproduction. Which then leads to the closing of many factories. This led to a lot of unemployment and old workers to now not have money so they cant afford basic necessities.

Clark Kane

2026-03-17 18:22:00 UTC

I think that farmers were most negatively impacted by the Great Deppresion. I believe this because the Dust Bowl destroyed of their crops and land. This shorted them of profit, and food. Many farmers were left unemployed and with little food because of the droughts that caused the Dustbowl.

Polly Messina

2026-03-17 18:22:15 UTC

American families were the most impacted by the Great Depression. Due to the leadership of President Herbert, the people blamed him for losing their homes because they couldn't afford it and ended up living in tents that they called Hooverville's. The people would also have to wait in constant lines for food and sometimes end up with none after waiting all day.

Sierra

sramalanjaona30 — 2026-03-17 18:22:22 UTC

American families were the social group that was most heavily impacted by the Great Depression. Families were forced out of their homes because they couldn't afford to pay for homes anymore due to harsh living, weather, and job loss. Many people waited on lines for food in soup kitchens for even just a little bit of food. After hours of waiting on line and they finally got to the front, many times there would be no food left for them. Also, families lived in Hoovervilles which were miniature tents. So, American families were the most impacted due to moving, job loss, and loosing access to basic needs.

Christopher Nicosia

cnicosia30 — 2026-03-17 18:22:25 UTC

I think that the Bankers/Banks were the most affected from the great depression because banks had failed/Closed due to Bank Rushes. Which caused the bankers to lose their jobs which meant they weren't able to provide for their families (The Image Above is what one of the bank rushes looked like)

jayden

2026-03-17 18:22:28 UTC

I think teens had the most impact mentally as they thought they were the problem and considered themselves as "burdens".And also they had to do more work and push themselves harder and they had to take of their families also.

Kimi P

ibocamazo30 — 2026-03-17 18:23:10 UTC

Bankers had it the hardest due to the constant people running to the bank and yelling at them for their money that they didn't have from robberies and people getting loans to buy stuff

Cavan Gallant

2026-03-17 18:23:12 UTC

I think that African Americans were affected the most by the Great Depression. Every group was affected money wise by the Great Depression, but African Americans had to deal with others discriminating them. Because of the money issues people were angry and scared, and their emotions were unhinged. This made people go after others so they unleashed their anger at African Americans. I think that the fact that people were angry at African Americans makes them have the worst issues during the Great Depression.

Lyla

2026-03-17 18:23:17 UTC

I think that the American family's were impacted the most during The Great Depression because they were living in tents referred to as Hooverviles because they lost there homes. Also they would have to wait on lines for so long for food just to find out there was nothing left. Crimes went up because people would get angry on the lines and make bad choices.

Sehaj Singh

ssingh30_2 — 2026-03-17 18:23:39 UTC

I think American families were most impacted during the great depression. I think this is due to the fact that comfortable families were fine until the great depression, then they couldn't even pay for their homes or food. they had to stay in line and wait and wait for food. They also lost there homes and had to live in tents! Then upon that they had there own kids that were teens leaving them so they won't be a burden. imagine coming home from waiting in line and you can't find your teenage son. That is why I think the American Family faced were impacted the most.

Sophia P

2026-03-17 18:23:40 UTC

I think teens were the most impacted by the Great Depression due to the fact that they felt like a burden to their families so they went out to get jobs or look for food to provide for their families to prove that they can take care of their families. For example they had to hop on trains to leave their cities to look for work or to find food! This proves how hard these teens push themselves at such a young age affecting not just their physical health but their mental health as well.

Marvin Abou-Absi

2026-03-17 18:24:08 UTC

During The Great Depression, many families lost their jobs and houses. Factory workers worked to provide basic needs for their families. Now families don't have jobs anymore, so they lost their houses, and ended up living in tents, because of this many families had to wait in constant lines for food.

Victoria

2026-03-17 18:24:17 UTC

The American Families were impacted the most because they had multiple people to feed and waiting on long lines for food for bread and soup. Children's parent want them to have a good life but they have to suffer while sleeping in tents mostly there whole life.

Ayaan M

2026-03-17 18:25:11 UTC

I think that the Factory Workers were impacted the most during the Great Depression because the Factory Workers lost their jobs due to their overproduction. This means that the Factory Workers had closed factories and they were not able to work at any factories at all. Another reason why I say this is because they could not afford basic needs, especially someone's house.

Banks

2026-03-17 18:26:55 UTC

I think bankers were the most affected by the Great Depression because banks failed to give people their money back to everyone and people were getting everyone else's money and it came down to banks having to close. This is a problem because they couldn't provide for themselves and their family.
