My teams is working on homeless teens and we are working on some research question that can help us understand the processes of making our film These Streets Are Our Home. My team will interview teens that were once homeless teens to get an ideas. My team wrote down some research questions that will help us understand more the topic. One of the question is "What are type of reasons fro these teens becoming homeless? 




To help me answer my second research question i will use an article called Background Causes Of Teen Homeless. The article talks about all the reasons why there are so many homeless teens and reasons why what is the background of that reason he/she is homeless.Theres homeless teens because of the fact of Abuse,Substance Abuse in the Home,Pregnancy,Sexual Orientation,Unaffordable Housing and Mental Illness. It also says Some homeless youth have run away from homes where they were the victims of physical, sexual or emotional abuse. One study reports that more than four in ten youth report being beaten by a caretaker, and a quarter were either sexually abused or feared being sexually abused. My favorite part of this article is that it answered my teams question and it also helped my team understand why these teens are homeless.
This article relates to our film These Streets Are Our Home because its about how these homeless teens becomes homeless and why. It helped us understand and make the interviewer feel more comfortable and share how they feel about what they went through when they where homeless.

For my second research blog I will be answering my first research question with one of the best article of  The Neighborhood Files."New Community Program Helps Homeless Teens and Families in Poway"  by Annie Lane. Why does the government help out these homeless teens ?


The article talks about how school is really important for the kids especially teens. It also says that they try to help them with taking them out the streets and bring them into homes.The community witch is also the government is doing there best to help these teens for a better life. This article did answer my question "Why does the government help out these homeless teens? "By law we have to assist them" Davis said of YIT, which is funded through a grant based on the McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Assistance Act. This shows that the government is  involved with making this program for these teens because the government pays for everything thats need. My favorite part of this article is the information that it gives the reader and how it makes the reader also want to help the homeless teens. 


Thank You The neighborhood Files for answering my question!

Homeless Teens Blog

          All over the world there has been a lot of  homeless kids with out any ideas where there life will end up.  New York is one of the largest population with homeless teens.  Over the last past years the population of homeless teens has increased in NYC. 50 percent of these homeless teens are either living in shelters or in jail. Homeless teens are always dropping out of school just because they have no home and need support from the government to survive on the streets. Homelessness is something that does not discriminate against social status, financial status or gender status. Nearly 98 percents of the homeless teens become home less because they run away from home.



     I have lived in New York all my life and i been living surrounded by homeless teens.This horrible reality has been affecting out community. These homeless teens is a big impact to the community that it became part of my daily life. Serval months ago around the summer I started to realize all these teens in the street staring trouble and getting arrested because they had no home.  Everyday these teens will be in these streets and don't go to school because they where homeless. I thought there mist be reason why these teens are homeless so i diced to do research about homeless teens to learn about them. Every time I see these homeless teens it just remind me of one of my close friends that was once homeless.  



For my film These Streets Are Our Home that's based on this subject I will ask:

• Why does the government help out these homeless teens ?
• What are type of reasons fro these teens becoming homeless?
• Does the US approach to homeless teens and punishment work ?
• Why is the Department Of Education being affected by these homeless teens ?
• What would happen if the government stop helping out these homeless teens into making a impact in there life ?
