Homelessness

  1. I am 25, male, from Humboldt County, California

  2. It means that someone doesn't have a consistent secure place to go to.

  3. Desperate, sad, struggling, overlooked, and used.

  4. I have seen and interacted with homeless people. I usually try to give them some change.

  5. I see a difficult time in that person's life. I do feel sorry for them, and wish them a speedy recovery.

  6. There are many causes. Some of them are within your control and some aren't.

  7. I try to help them. If the have a request I listen and see if I can help or not.

  8. It isn't spoken of much because it is considered shameful, or a personal failing.

  9. They are going through a difficult time, and need help.

  10. I try not to rub or do something resentful. Like use my smartphone, or eat something.

  11. Hopefully some kind of food, hygienic item, or food for their pet.

  12. Sorrow, and a little respect.

  13. Something about life being easier if we worked together.

  14. I don't know. I would like to see more compassion than judgement.
