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 ?
