Does everybody realize how many of these
people are walking the streets right now,
nothing to eat, not getting what they
need. It's horrible, and if it continues,
I'm afraid your world must be destroyed.
These people have no chance at work, why
are they homeless. They should be given
food and a place to stay, they can't work.
World, destroyed.

It's true, it's terrible that people are
allowed to be out on the street.

Why is nothing ever done? It would be so
easy to help them.
I hate this world.

It stems from this society's perception of
things: 1. Mental illness is a taboo.
People shy away from it. 2. "Bums" are
perceived as lazy. Protestant (and
Western) culture dictates hard work as the
way to salvation.

themselves.

because everyone is freaking selfish
theres not enough people that care enough
to help
i think its sad
how much of a waste
a good human deed
or a kind heart
some spare change or some food
all to waste

Yes I am almost homeless now, been told I
am no longer suitable for supported
housing as I am too dependant on my own
and don't need constant care! I was told
the tenancy was only short term anyways.
So I am thinking are they throwing me out?
I am not registered with the North Wales
Housing anymore I was stuck of their list
and the council have done the same. i
wish someone would N*** the entire UK
now.
So many people are mean to me and now i
know i will have to move soon its done me
head in! But I am protected by LAW they
have to find me a new place before they
can evict me! I am thinking what have I
done to deserve this?
I have already moved 20 times in 38 years
and its just so stressfull! i hope all
these nasty people have heat attacks as
well, which was mentioned in another post.
I hate the whole world now and feel
almost everyone doesnt want to know me
anymore except you lot on here!!
The world is so f***** up its inreal noone
cares for anyone anymore! One girl on MSN
said i was so bitter with society i should
be transfered back to the USA and
sectioned for life in a large state
hospital? I thought what the hell did i do
to this girl? i told her to **** Off and
deleted her and blocked her as well, and
now i dont use msn anymore, i cant stand
the stupid remarks i get so i blocked
everyone so they never knew I was on-line!
Only one girl was nice to me and she lives
in the USA?
I use to go onto a site called chatuk and
chatters would be nice with me in the 50's
room, a week later noonne speaks to me so
i went to the 30's room and wound them all
up cus I was in a bad mood and they all
got real mad and they tried to pm me but I
had it blocked with a nice auto reply
messgage! One girl tried it and shouted at
me you just told me to **** off and i said
no i didnt thats an auto responce from my
away message so I left them in a mess and
went to the 20's room for a laugh i was
there 2 mins and a girl called kim told me
to F*** off so I reported her and gave a
real hard time and then i quit irc for
good now. The world is against people
with a medical problem wether its to the
extreme or not, we simply are not accepted
in society.
Maybe there is another country in this
world that will accept all us people with
medial problems and we could all meet up
together and I am sure we would all get on
just fine, infact i know we would f*** all the other
nasty people that only care about
themselves

This is a hard life sometimes and when you
get down to a certain level economically
and you are going through an illness and
not dealing with it the way everyone
thinks you should .You are out and then
some...... food and shelter primal needs
are essential and this planet has enough
to go around but the powers that be ,would
rather spend it on arms argue about oil
and walk around or over someone who needs
help It is a sad selfish state of
affairs ...drug abuse is one issue but
mental health is another some are just
caught with no family and no good council
.I always carry a little extra change if I
have it and my hubby and I fed people
sometimes in the night one of our friends
was pregnant and on the street carrying a
baby i do not know what happened to her I
think she is with the baby but God only
knows where .Its a real social epidemic
and it needs immediate attention the Gov't
and Churches should be in there but God
gonna have send radical workers to clean
up and provide some love and care on a
global level.I want to put it out to
people not to be afraid cause I think the
problem most of us live isolated except
for the news and local paper stories...I
do small bits but not on a large budget
maybe there is a way to start with a small
soup kitchen and then shelter My community
has had lots of street people who have
gotten help and the doors get open wide in
the winter season .They are building a
shelter specially for the homeless now
....good luck wherever you are..I also
think that the Mental hospitals should
stay open and continue to be upgraded for
the Mentally ill and programs should be
run constantly for the Mentally ill so
they feel a part of this oil rigged planet
..Do not worry God is getting his forces
armed I know I was part of that scene for
awhile and still want to help ....remember
to take a bit of spare change out with you

I think we all would should be crying now,
Society is against us people with medical
issues. Its real hard to deal with and
all the nasty people who care about
themselves have no time for us. I am from
the UK by the way.
I will call out to GOD and have faith and
hope he can put a stop to all this misery
we are going through.
From your Kind friend for life Shane(UK)

If you talk to many homeless individuals,
you will find that that is a choice they
make.
It is not always desirable to go into a
shelter, especially if you are mentally
ill.
In social work, we are taught to "start
where the client is". What does the
client want? Maybe they want a blanket.
Because they want to stay under the
bridge. Well, then, get them a blanket,
not a cot in a shelter.

There are always choices; it's the ability
to recognize what they are that might not
always be available.
