A homeless friend once shared a story about when he needed a toothbrush. He stood in front of a grocery store displaying a sign asking for money to buy the toothbrush. It wasn’t long before people started to give him food. He gratefully accepted multiple bags of fast food meals as he tried to collect money to buy a toothbrush. He set the bags next to him. Although it was clear he had already been given food, people continued to give him more. He never was able to purchase the toothbrush he needed. Jeffery is homeless in Toronto, Canada. “You’re cold. You get soaking wet. You never know where you’re going to sleep,” Jeffery said about homelessness. He also went on to say that the one thing you don’t have to worry about is food when you are homeless. kzread.info/dash/bejne/YoaE0LykfJCceJs.html People like to give food. Nonprofits have programmed the public the homeless people need food because they know people will donate money for food programs. For those of you having an issue with Andy talking about throwing away Burger King the point Andy is trying to make is he already gets plenty of food - too much food even - yet people still keep giving him food and more food. What would you do with 15 hamburgers? The public needs to be educated about homelessness and real needs. The simple solution is to ask and listen - then help when you can. You can never go wrong giving out socks - How to Give Socks to Homeless People. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hIp8w8htdtfZlqg.html

Johan R which are all based on this capitalistic ideology of selfishness, abuse, injustice. In today’s world you are nothing but a simple number to your employer and every human being strives to gather as much money / power as possible and in their crazy run of gathering as much money as possible they leave behind these nasty social marks called homeless people. It is just like in the jungle: some don’t survive due to this extreme selfishness and abuse that there is.

I'm the same age as Andy and watching this made me realize that this could've been me instead of him. Also that I need to appreciate the life I have and take nothing for granted. My heart breaks for Andy, even more so because he is a peer. I hope Andy has found peace in his life by now, up to a certain extent at least and I'm praying for youngsters like him because everyone deserves a good life ❤️

You wouldn't believe how many people just walk by without even glancing. I was on my way home from work one day. Got off the bus and headed towards queen street station, and there was a homeless man huddled up in the corner. I didn't have any money to give him, but I had cigarettes and I had time. I gave him some cigarettes and sat down with him for a chat. I couldn't believe how many people walk past in their own little world, or laughing amongst their friends when somebody is literally at their feet struggling. How many hundreds of them have a 50 pence piece in their pocket, and they won't even give that. It genuinely is unbelievable. I haven't seen him for a long time now. I often wonder how he's doing. I didn't catch his name, sadly.

When I was 18 years old I was living on the streets of London going through the same issues problems as you. I woke up one day and said enough. I walked straight into an army recruitment centre in the Strand London and said I want to join the army. This was the biggest and most important decision of my life. In the army you get fed, housed and paid a kings ransom. That was 26 years ago. Since then I have left the army, been to university, got a masters degree and now I work for a top global company as a consultant. I earn a fantastic salary that I never thought was possible. I have no regrets about making that decision 26 years ago. Today you need to go to 8th Floor, Southgate House, 84 Wood Street and ask about joining the Army. A big decision that will change your life for the better.

@turbo682

Id agree.Unfortunately and as I'm sure your aware the Army isn't the same thing it was 26 years ago. Most of the recruitment process these days is done over the phone. You need to have an Email address and a working smartphone to download an app before you even talk to a serving soldier face to face. If however he rocked up at an office and told them the situation its just luck of the draw if there is an actual serving recruitment team there that can help him through the process. Not just a MOD contracted civvie in a 'be the best tracksuit' who only knows how to play dvds and what one certain unit did during 1984 to 2002. During peace times it would be trickier as the MOD doesn't pump as much into recruiting . Also remember its not for everyone and no matter how completely useless some of your blokes have been, it does take a certain type of person to even see it as a possibility.

I do agree towards a certain extent. He is an adult now. The parents are going with societal rules of being financially stabled at age 18. The fact that the legal age for becoming an adult (18) is perfound. The fact that this is not considered as child neglect because of the legal age makes America the worst state of all. (Actually America is the worst state of all besides the legal age for becoming an adult) Edit :I just realized this took place in Europe. Both America and eruope have similarities and differences.

His father probably beats him, so how can he accept such abuse from a drunken father?

"Have a nice house, have a nice job, and have a family." I'm 25 years old, and my mom and dad were extreme alcoholics my whole life. From 9 years old I've lived in motels ridden with bed bugs, and slum apartments. I'm in my own place now and have been for 3 years. What he wished for hits home for me so hard because he's suffering just like I did. I did everything I could to get away from my father when I lived with him, including sleeping in parks or going wherever I could just to be free of it all. I wish I could speak to him and let him know that one day things will get better. He needs a good friend and someone to lift him up. I hope from the bottom of my soul he finds reprieve. If there is a god, I pray they show him mercy.

All the best for success and happiness in every aspect of your life.

As somebody who is homeless for 2 years after getting out of serving our military. I can tell you for a fact that all of these problems that you all are commenting on or absolutely true. What do you think homeless people do stupid stuff in the streets to get arrested we do it on purpose because if we know we go to jail we can have three free meals a warm place to sleep in a free shower where we won't be sleeping outside. Why do you think a lot of homeless people do that stupid stuff in the middle of the winter? So they at least have a warm place to sleep. I did stuff like that when I was homeless cuz I had no choice because you go days without eating when I was homeless you all I had people pee on me. I had somebody like my sleeping bag on fire when I was in the middle of the night when I was sleeping food dumped on me. I've been cussed out had stuff thrown at me from outside of car windows. He spit on me dump drinks on me. People do horrible things to you when you're homeless. And I wasn't doing anything bad. I've never done drugs in my life. I'm an ex Army veteran. I drink on special occasions for birthdays and on New Years. That's it. But I was just homeless I wasn't doing any bad. I was just outside. And people would just constantly stay the same thing that they would say to this young man. Get a job. Stop doing drugs. You're a junkie. You're a bum. You're worthless. I'm a human being I was just struggling.

And at the top of it all, people consider the homeless to be parasites of society. "Just get a job and stop being homeless!" they say. I know a guy who as a manager of a retail store and was fired after the boss discovered he was homeless. Plenty of jobs and employers require you to have a rooftop, much because a lot of people think being homeless is the same as being an addict, the society's scourge.
