It's not like this anymore. I was there for months, the staff was terrible to me, they harassed me constantly. They also put kids out all hours of the night for insignificant reasons. They don't drive around, and when I went there they refused to give me food, claiming to be 'out of food' because the door man disliked me. They staff is especially mean towards gay/ lesbian youth, and people who keep to themselves, which is ironic, because they get donations due to their work with the gay youth.

The streets have no pity on no one! its a cold and lonely place to be lost, homeless

teens carry allot of pain and anger. But Fear leads in the battle to stay alive and

survive.
