The largest social demographic in first world countries that experiences homelessness are actually elderly people. Why don't you educate yourself before spouting your ignorant dribble? POVERTY is the number one cause for homelessness, Eroding Work Opportunities is second. The declining value and availability of public assistance is another source of increasing poverty and homelessness. A lack of affordable housing and the limited scale of housing assistance programs have contributed to the current housing crisis and to homelessness. Battered women who live in poverty are often forced to choose between abusive relationships and homelessness. For families and individuals struggling to pay the rent, a serious illness or disability can start a downward spiral into homelessness, beginning with a lost job, depletion of savings to pay for care, and eventual eviction. Homelessness results from a complex set of circumstances that require people to choose between food, shelter, and other basic needs. There are many reasons one can become homeless, so you see, you ARE AN IGNORANT TWIT. I rest my case.
Public schools offer just one more important lesson than home schooling does, and it's a very important lesson, socialization. In order to function in society a kid has to learn how to socially interact with his/her peers, this is something that home schooling just doesn't teach.
Of course it does, especially when you give your excuses. They may sound like reasonable excuses, but when you break it down, it's all ignorance. People like to view the homeless as lesser beings who are there because they are lazy, drug addicts, etc. What people fail to realize is that most people become homeless because of circumstances. The homeless are no different than you or I. One day you may be homeless, and maybe then you will realize why I think people like you are ignorant twits.
