hey

hey ppl howz it going?
im doing a project on homelessness for english and i got really into it. i was kinda wondering if anyone would mind helping me out with it?? i was hoping someone could tell me what its like to be on the streets and some of the reasons they got to be there in the first place. Ive found a fair bit of info already but i reacon having something that comes from someone whos been through it would be better than some edited book from the libary. so yeah any thing would be good.

Hi Rikki,
I'd suggest you read the guidelines for students

and provide us with a little more info so you can get your desired responses. An obvious thread for you to read is Sk8r's http://forums.homeless.org.au/showthread.php?t=320. It's a great account of one very strong girls life on the street and beyond. I'll also be happy to give you some details after you have given us a little more info.

Thanks Punter! I am 16 female and im doing a report/assignment thingo on homeless people.

Some of the questions i was hoping to get answered are:

For what reasons made you become homeless?

Was it tough living on the streets, was it hard to find meals?

What is it like during the first couple of nights/weeks living on the streets, do you feel scared and lonley?

How do people react when you tell them that you are homeless?

If anyone wants to answer my questions it would help me a lot! :) If you dont want to, its ok, your allowed to have your privacy. :) Thanks

Luv Rikki
