Research Blog 3









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.
