Fault is such a stupid word. No one does this on purpose to others or themselves but situations change and people have to react.

I HAVE NOT FAILED made my heart melt. :'(

[viactiv123]

ahaha youre rediculous i was an ex traveler i miss my life so much and would give anything to be on the road never missed a sunrise or sunset we are a dirty hippy rainbow family i know my kids, mine are o the streets but having the time of our lives, we always find food, and shelter this video made me chuckle haha

..plus most of homeless teens drop out of the schools and discontinue their education

[metrotrapstar]

then finally i met my childs mother in 11th grade and i was losing my temporary home again at the end of the school year headed for charlotte north carolina. she was kinda rich and i was at a good school and she loved me so much. she somehow got her parents to let me live in there xtra room until i graduated HS and since we lived together we fucked everyday and she got pregnant. now im 20 and headed for the army with a bright future. some homeless kids are smart and just need a break on life

[oldlyswansea]

@metrotrapstar man i'd just like to say good for you have a good one and i hope life smilles apon you 

[metrotrapstar]

DSOpronto is a jackass! its not thier own faulT! you dont know what people go through. i am 20 now and i was a homeless teen. my pops was on drugs and burnt down our home not thinking of his 3 kids for insurance money when i was 4. then we lived with my grandfather until he died at at 86 and i was 12. then he attempted it again and got caught leaving his kids with nothing. We lived from home to home and state to state switching schools and friends every semester.

[DSOproto]

doesn't anyone realize how uneducated these teen seem? if they would have tried or asked the right people for help, they could avoid this. so it's their own faults

[EndlessT]

I was homeless at 15, im now 26 and I cant remember how many times I have been homeless. I hate to say it but the free school lunch was the only meal I got. The weekends sucked because I had to go 2 days with out food.

[viactiv123]

thats why you spare change dumb fuck. you have to be an idiot to live on the streets and not get food,and that might sound rediculous but i lived on the road for a year and there wasnt one day i couldnt find food

[davethepunk]

man its funny im currently squattin in the UK i cant believe the apathy of people most people just walkn past me like im not even there

[SacrdDove]

Excellent job

If you are a homeless or runaway, please, please... there are resources. Reach out.

hugs

[sintofg]

Well this is an obvious issue, however many don't like to think about it, and given that people are born into certian circumstances, you can't choose where you're born, but a person can still choose how they come out of their situation, so ya know you still have options, let alone the law enforcement isn't going to help you unless there are other people who bring it up along side you, I would presume.

[thiseternalsorrow]

That's because we are too goddamn busy spending billions on bombing other countries and then FIXING them.

[sintofg]

nice try at using a red herring method....to bad the event you're trying to connect it to is not a direct correlation so go figure. ._.

[rockynia]

poor kids x i think there should be more facilities for them to get there own home (cheap) and get a course bless them x

[Roodboinboston]

i'm very impressed by the camera work and the editing. for a high school class? very impressive.

[snowhoefosho]

"how long has homeless teengers been a problem..." a problem?? more like issue

[snowhoefosho]

haden.

[kissat2004]

im 17.. threw out high school i was homeless...

my daD lost his job and gave up on us

my life was reallyhard and it was hard to keep my gradesup.. i attempted sucide more than once in all forms.. no person should have to go threw this.. it was so hard to live a normal life.. the school put me into therapy .. they would say it could be worse.. but i say

HOW?

i have hit bottom already and im not even an adult yet...

that is the sadest part.

even though i have ahome now i stil want 2 die

[IronicallyVague]

& why is it people who live soft & easy lives always turn out to be empty shells & horrible people?

Yet the ones who have had some suffering always turn out to be the one you want to hang out with ?

[kissat2004]

bc they have been threw it all ...

they know how to have fun without anything or any money...

they just want to have someone care aboutthem

[PeterPW]

how does one attempt suicide more than once? are you inept?

[kissat2004]

no i am honestly fine.. but before yes i did try to attempt more than once but they had my stomache pumped twice...

it was very tough on me.....

i just cant wait to leave this part of my life behind and share my knowelege about homeless to other people

[IronicallyVague]

I've taken in two kids before - both were very good relationships & made this a happy home.

One will soon marry a rich woman & The other is now in College.

But if they are addicted to crack or speed forget it, I can't help...

[mrkv39]

have you seen a lot who are not addicted?

[IronicallyVague]

Of course !

There's a lot of reasons for kids being homeless - Parents who shouldn't have pets much less kids, Poverty, Parents choosing favorites , Parents do drugs...

I've just had chance encounters & never looked for kids to adopt lol, they sort of appeared.

[mrkv39]

i haven't seen any who were not on drugs. maybe when they first ended up on the streets they were clean but the reality is just too hard to stand for them, so they all end up on drugs.

[IronicallyVague]

Whatever - you don't have to be stupid & take them in , maybe point them in the right direction to get help & a couple bucks,cloths?

[wanshei]

Since when did our children become an expendable resource? I used to live in Hollywood and they're there by the hundreds. These children are our future, you okay with throwing away the future? Our (collective) future?

[longlivera]

well done pass on to your interviewee that other homeless teens thank him for being willing to share.

[mad7o7]

hay thats my school GO FERRIS!

[lupielady]

Excellent video. Thanks

[sintofg]

Plus the vunerablility of young women being is very high, in some cases a teen might be sexually assualted in one of there first nights of being homeless. Plus, the sickest is the fact that the Sex industry lures both girls in their teens and guys too.

[sintofg]

And one reason every now and then is that the parents don't want to deal with them, like with coming out or not accepting of a pregnancy,or in some cases becase of abuse, and then these teens sadly are kicked out by their own parents or leave because of the abuse. Though you don't hear about those kinds of cases often they still exist.

You can't get an apartment that young the only people that will have you are rapists or drug users.Working in wendys hardly counts as gainful employment.What is sad my mother looked down her nose at me one day claiming proudly she had never been arrested. She should have she turned her kids on the streets so she could fuck her boyfriend I would get home from school and was told go somewhere else don't come back until after 6 or something like that. When you have kids YOU took on a responsibility

[cdltpx]

What I should have done was went to the police and said my mom will not let me in the house where I sleep on the floor with no airconditioning. That is why I am as tall as I am and underweight. She doesn't want us here because her married boyfriend doesn't like her children and he wants us gone so he can fuck her and eat the steak she cooks. Oh BTW I worked all summer cutting grass since 12 years old and she took all my money to pay the rent on the very place I sleep on the floor.

[sintofg]

isn't there laws against adultery o.0? jw tho I guess it depends state by state

[sintofg]

plus height is more so genetic than it is from nurture....just so ya know ._.

[cdltpx]

You don't understand what I meant. I was 6 ft and under 145 lbs when I was 19. I don't know my weight when I was 16 I was not keeping track of that. I know about heigth and all that my cousins all grew to be much taller 6'6'' 6'7'' 6'4'' even my uncles are 6'2 and up. I was not saying anything on how I was so tall but how slim I was.

[ghsmrz4eva]

That's so sad. Very well put together. Was this a post show?

[HamburgerParty]

Yeah, it was.

[asongintheair]

[bobsforth]
