I always want to know what their story is that theyre at this point so early in life because this seems different than say being 8 yrs old and being homeless with your parents.

I don't think many homeless people go to college while they're homeless...so props to him I guess.

Okay how about know OF someone who is homeless. Because yes if your best friend is homeless then theres something else going on with you.

But there is this girl I sometimes see downtown that looks to be my age and homeless, she has a sign up saying that she will take any job offer that is legal. I don't know about in the US, but once you're homeless in France it's very very hard to get back into society, so I'm always really sad when I see a new homeless person in my neighborhood.And I always wonder what their story is.

They oftentimes stand at the corner of the freeway exit by my school, and I always feel bad if I drive by without giving them a few dollars. But I never have cash on me! Sad. One time, when I was in 9th grade, I was walking around downtown with some friends and a homeless guy came up and straight up asked me "Can I have some money for heroin?" I was like "Uh..."

I take exception to that...I can't explain the whole situation, but I can tell you, there was NOTHING I could have done when my friend was homeless, and often, there is nothing anyone can do.

It was really interesting to talk to the women and hear their stories but it was also very frustrating trying to help them navigate through the system.
