Squatter

[MartyredxMaiden]

hes gorgeous......you know, there should be communes everywhere in every city and every neighborhood for kids who run away from terrible homes. their should be directories for jobs all over the place.

Just because you live "on the streets" doesn't mean you have to live in the shit part of town.

"I have no direction" - I do, the local paper then look under jobs...

[brusscainslava]

did you know that 60% of satistics are made up on the spot.

such bullshit 1 in 7

[fermentederection]

wow if it wasn't for this public service announcement i could had died on the streets

[mikehated]

If you're not a total retard, you won't die living on the street.

[nicojysoristo]

If kids runaway theres probably a reason

[GutterBarlik]

omg what squatter is afraid of anything, and what squatter names themself squatter...sounds like an after school special

[RockvilleWoof]

I'm a volunteer with StandUp For Kids - "squatter" was his street name. NO, it's not the ultimate freedom. Kids surviving out there (it's not living, it's surviving) have a hard existence - enduring the weather, adults that take advantage of them, and they don't choose to be out there - its usually thinking the streets are better than being at home being abused or neglected. They eat out of dumpsters. They have survival sex for money.

[dnHooligan]

...being a debt-slave is better?

[grrfu]

for some kids that run away like that.... yes. people can do really fucked up things to people who have no power

[rorshacherror]

there are a lot that do it for the freedom. that DONT get taken advantage of. that aren't fucking idiots and know how to survive and travel around for the new friends and adventures. I hate the pity looks we always get.

[LTm0rt]

how much did they pay him?

[charlee2552]

I hope they paid him an enormous amount!! He deserves it.

There are shelters for under the age of 18 kids. They are not all bad, I had to live in a few and I hated a lot of them. There are a few good ones however. Do not live on the streets, you will not get a job and an apt and make it in a place like NYC or Chicago or LA. Do you have ID? Security deposits equalling upto 3 months worth of rent? Money for the lights or electricity? Travelling to your job money? Clothing money? Food money? Emergency money? THINK before you run away. Please.

[shadowmorman]

The fact is... the majority of the children running are abused in some way... and weighing pros and cons just doesn't come into their rational, it would be irrational if it did.

[alyceclover]

Yeah, shadynema183, I agree, no need to worry if it is the cop waking ya up to tell ya to move along or simply give ya a ticket or haul ya off to jail or if it is someone with a knife or gun. No worry when shoes, clothes, ID get stolen or beaten and raped. Ho, ho, ho. Ultimate freedom and oh, so much fun.

[Starbright4876]

I hear ya, even older homeless ppl have the same shit happen to them. I lost my place when I was in my mid 20's and slept in the park right across from my old apt. and was jumped (my boyf was with me too) by a group of drunken black kids looking for cash. It was awful. I ended up bringing my 3 cats to a shelter because I could not bare to have them out on the streets any longer. They were so sad and cried the entire time I hope they are ok today...THAT was a long time ago.

[Shadynema183]

this guys a fuckin idiot. its not hard to live or even make money on the fuckin streets. its called the ultimate freedom. no bills, no responsibilities, no fuckin worries.

[Starbright4876]

Are you doing it? Are you on the streets? Are you a young girl who thought life sucked at home and took off and ended up turning tricks to live or some asshole pimp got his mitts on you and threatens you with death if you don't suck dick for him?

[aznchick18]

Listen to this guy streets are horrible!

[shentov]

[shadowmorman]

... its not so easy sister. I work as a supervisor for UPS, I make about $15 an hour in a better job than most college students my age could get... and still I have trouble making ends meet. I'm not better than anyone else, and I don't try to seem so. But I know when you turn 18, it doesn't necessarily mean you are an adult (mentally). You can still be a run away at 18...
