He just doesn't have anybody to run to. Most of us don't know what that feels like. When you are homeless it's like you're in a hole filled with sand and the more you try to dig your way out, more sand caves in, the deeper you go. Then what you need is for someone to rescue you. That's what this poor guy needs, someone.

[@jessalaurenbronner6770]

I completely agree with you that is the most rational comment i read. Talking from experience i myself found myself moving back to my parents sometimes not even being able to pay for rent. Twice in my life it's happen im just grateful i had good parents and a good home to welcome me back. I was 18&23 sometimes we talk down on these people because we are quick to judge and i myself have been guilty of it in the past. Now i don't even care where they spend my money when i donate a few dollars when ever i have any. I usually see old homeless around my area its so sad.

I am a little saddened by the lack of humanity in some of these comments. Sometimes life wraps you up in an ugly Ven Diagram.

A bit more compassion I think would be appropriate.

[@huntermlmfao2778]

i fully agree luckly my parents aren't going to kick me out if i don't have a place to go i basicly work for my parents they provide me with about everything i can think of. as long as i do what i'm told when i'm told i will have a roof over my head don't get wrong i plan on getting a job but my point is i will always have a back up plan

[@DesignzRUs1]

Amen. These "people" are disgusting and heartless

[@101perspective]

I don't know. If I see a person with such a horrific run of horrible luck I definitely feel for them. However, most of these homeless people we see videos on simply don't fall into that category. And there is a reason for that. There is more going on than what the videos normally show. They often say they can barely buy food. Yet, your average panhandler can make $15 an hour easy. And that is ALL TAX FREE. So, where is all of that money going... if not toward food, shelter, etc? And these folks do this for years on end. And manage to never get an actual job. Like I said, there clearly is more going on there for most of these people.

[@dragonfly1414]

It very important parents should be there for their children, support them, love them and so are the children must be their for parents include when they get old care for them, love and respect that the way should be.

People should have more compassion for the homeless. The majority of the homeless population are mentally ill or outcasts that society has rejected for one reason or another. Do not judge homeless people. The average American person or family is only two paychecks away from possible homelessness. This is no longer the land of milk and honey. Life is hard and is only going to get tougher. If your blessed with a job and a roof over your head count your blessings. Life can change so fast in this hopeless world. So be very careful how you judge the poor.

We shouldn't judge anyone. You don't know what that persons been through or going through. It takes a person to dig deep to have to beg. Believe me, I don't think that's his first choice or what he intended for his life. Life can be pretty hard and anyone can get to that point . And even if he was high, wouldn't you want something to numb the pain and hopelessness . The dude is still a human being with a heart, soul, and mind. It's to bad. We should lift one another up , not kick him when he's down.

[@SNOWBALL0930]

We all been dealt with hard times in our lives. Life is a constant battle of hardships and eventually, rises from it. He is only 23, he's got great chance of getting off the street.

[@Fonch117]

Tanner Simonovich understood but he definitely is not in a good situation. Unless someone helps him he ain't going no where. I mean can he even get a job? Doesn't even have a postal address or clothes. Look at his hair. Who will hire a guy who looks like that? Someone could but the question is not many. The severity of his circumstances shouldn't be underestimated. He is acting cool and chill but its actually a lot worse than he sounds but he's a tough guy and can handle it without breaking. He must if he wishes to survive. People just don't give a fuck these days. Kinda sad.

I think that it is probably so hard to be homeless that many choose to use drugs to ease their mind and im pretty sure i would too if i was homeless. Can you imagine the anxiety they must have when they are sober? In this case he is 23 years old and got homeless and because of that all his friends abandoned him.. i mean.. man it must be so hard out there. I feel so sorry for this guy. I hope he has a better life today.

You believe the bullshit this guy says? He's a drug addict. That's why he's on the streets. He doesn't want real help. He wants money to buy more dope. He needs to grow up and be a responsible adult. Blaming the government and other people for his predicament is not going to help.

i was homeless when i was 17-18 but i had a job. some days i could afford a shitty motel room(which is not cheap 50 a day), sometimes i didnt sleep unless i was early for work and napped in my breakroom other than that i slept through my classes in highschool that didnt really matter (theater class, free period) unfortunately i was abandoned by my family, completly estranged. i understand what he means by saying it sucks when you have no family to run to. i eventually got a job in an expensive restaurant and was able to save my tips for an apartment which in LA is like 2000 for a shitty place wih deposit. it was very hard and i was only able to do it with tips. id say if i were to compare the tips i made to an hourly wage itd be around $25-$30 an hour. so honestly i dont think raising the minimum wage to 15 is gonna get somebody off their feet, i think they could survive off of it but it takes so much more money to build the foundation for everything.

There is a lot of good people but not everyone is.

People that work for money, don't have "extra money". They have exactly what they worked for. People who give you money are not giving you their "extra money" they are giving you some of what they earned. We're talking about the general population here so don't try to spin it and make this about the "rich" people. A lot of the people you see in your daily life that you would call rich worked hard for their money as well. There is only a small percentage that don't fit that bill. The words he was searching for near the end, I would say, are motivation, direction, goals, self worth/esteem, etc.. Or something near to that. Walls a roof and a floor are just false securities. Just look at the foreclosures the US experienced in the last ten years. I think he misunderstood his favorite author, or his favorite author was only looking at it from one perspective. Those things don't make you "safe". If anything safety is a state of mind.

DesignzRUs1 I agree and I am one to suffer from this superficiality. I try not to get mad because it only seems to hurt me and people close to me. The world could be such a better place, but many (it seems to be somehow mainstream) fall into intellectual laziness and are superficial and two-faced. I have concluded that it's better not to try to tell them about it, they will make me a punching bag and take out all their frustrations and I am left paying for their stupidity, being miserable on their behalf, and wondering why I didn't take advantage of them instead. Anyway, enough said. That is one way to look at it, but I sure hope that I'm wrong. I'm not perfect at all, so I can't talk too much, really. I'm weak sometimes. I'm not intellectually lazy at all, I can't stop thinking, trying to understand, questioning. But I'm lazy in other ways. Actually I might be guilty of the same when I do judgments.

I was homeless in California for about 6 months and am obviously very passionate about it (hence my name) and guys like this disgust me. I slept around guys like this, hung out with guys like this, ate at shelters with guys like this, but I knew they were scumbags the entire time I went through that experience. There is absolutely no reason for anybody to give a homeless person money in California. I was eating better when I was homeless than I am now with a decent job. Shelters, churches, food stamps, general assistance vouchers, bus tokens, and food drives all supplied me with everything I needed. There was no reason for me to have to bother any person walking down the street for a dollar and many of these guys are even on disability making $900 a month and then panhandling on top of that. If someone asks you for dollar in a large city like this, tell them to go to hell because they're doing it for drugs or alcohol.

[@g.14144]

This guy says he can't claim disability benefits. you have not met him so you can't possibly know whether that's true or not... drug and alcohol addiction is a disease. even if he or any other homeless person does take drugs, why does that make him a scumbag? it makes him a person in a horrible situation who is dependant on an addictive substance which he uses to escape. These people aren't scumbags, they are human beings with less than what you have... even if they have food and free bus travel and the chance to sleep in a shelter sometimes!

I was homeless in Miami and it BLEW... Constantly wondering where your next meal is, when an IF you're gunna be able to shower that day... The local McDonald's is you next shower... Walking hours and hours your feet totally blistered and in pain aching SO bad... Crying because you don't know why you ended up where you're at... Trying to get money for a bus jus to wander aroun an not even knowing why you ended up goin on the bus in the first place an wasting your money.. It's horrible... Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy...

One thing that this guy is either lying about or just ignorant of. You can get food stamps pretty easily these days. You can even have a job and get food stamps. To all the people saying all he has to do is clean up and get a job, it's not that easy. I've been homeless a few times and even though I was clean cut and had a job, it wasn't even close to enough money to put a roof over my head. A lot of people are ignorant because they've never experienced the situation and they assume because that they had it relatively easy, that it should be just as easy for everyone else. I've applied for hundreds of jobs and only had maybe 2 or 3 interviews, which I showed up to in a shirt and tie and didn't get those jobs. You can't tell people it's easy if you've never been in their situation. That said, even though I was homeless in the past, I never once asked anyone for money.

[@gerardosalazar1477]

SMAAAASHTV let me tell you something friend, i starter working when i was 15 in construction as a framer and our crew did not get paid same as the white crews and we has to work three times as hard because we were immigrants and now i'm 23 with a contractors license and own my own company the problem with todays society is that they expect that the government is going to help them out. back in my dads day people used to rather work for there money than getting handout back when the u.s.a was full of great respectful and proud people.

[@LuvYrGurlAsh]

+SMAAAASHTV l agree with you people talk untill they are in that situation , l know how you feel me and boyfriend moved to los angeles in 2013 with no car no home no job no money to find work in production , because we had no choice because the work was out there even though we had no place to stay my boyfriend 7 days after his 29th birthday got a job with ESPN and l did it all sleeping on the Concrete , so l totally understand how you feel , it was 6 months of hell we didnt move there to work at rite aid. well said smash have a good one

[@reticulator]

+SMAAAASHTV The real problem is that during the Reagan era they closed down alot of the low income affordable subsidized housing units. Also the cost of living right now is too high for most people to afford even with full time and making 150% of minimum wage in a large city. Its so ridiculous in San Francisco that you have to make at least 80k per year to afford to live in a studio. I know the market determines the cost of living but the wage to cost of living ratio is getting ridiculous and it won't change until there is a worker uprising.

[@richardrichardson5570]

Often the money they get is spent on drugs &/or beer. So i give them food & clothing

[@tomberta5961]

Me too... and I agree with that, I will not give a homeless person any cash, something warm to wear, or something practical that they can use... I was asked by a homeless person holding a sign saying" homeless and hungry, can you help." and ask if I had any change to spare! I told him no. but I will go to McDonalds and buy you a value meal if you would like, I was cussed out and told he did not need my sympathy and if I couldn't give him any money, then fuck off. ... And sad to say because of that, I don't help as many homeless people as I used to

[@tomberta5961]

I still do my best to help homeless people when I can, but now instead of directly giving them food on the street what I do is I volunteered at church that deliver meals to people in need

[@tomberta5961]

I deliver meals every Easter Thanksgiving and Christmas and I find it quite rewarding

[@michaeltrich]

It's good people give, because their situation would surely be worse if they didn't. But as he said, it's a temporary fix. Teach a man to fish and all that. There needs to be some non-mandatory vetting system that takes in the homless, tests them for drugs, gives them goals to reach, and reward the best none drug using, none self deprecating homeless people with education & training (you know real prospects). And who knows, if that homeless person gets out of their situation due to such a system, they may even themsevles, help a homless person, sort of starting like a chain reaction.

[@richardrichardson5570]

Helping people... it's a good thing.

[@t4705mb6]

VT does not allow homelessness. They will find you a place to stay (well, sleep), give you old used clothes, minimal sustenance food and.... basics. Homelessness is embarrassing to my "progressive" state. A 300 sq ft MINIMAL NO frills apartment rents from between $700 and $1,200 a month! (BTW: Most Vermonters pay 3/4 (3 weeks pay out of 4) of their part-time - 10-30 hrs a wk - job incomes for housing and over 58% of Vermonters can not AFFORD their own homes!) That said, VT is like Sweden - already absorbed into the globalist Borg and have NO idea they are even there!

[@journeyon1983]

That's shocking and if that's true, then I have no respect for Senator Bernie Sanders who always advocates for the poor.

[@t4705mb6]

***** Wait! There's more! look at the food prices in VT! 2 to 3 times higher than most of the rest of the country! I was told by the "government" it' was because of delivery 'location:" and shipping costs. New Hampshire, right NEXT door is abour 40% CHEAPER! Does THAT sound like anyone's gouging the "system" in VT?? Want proof? Google VT supermarket ads! Even on sale food here is astronomical! Hunger is SO bad in VT they have charity food drives DOOR TO DOOR!

[@markwalls8383]

You sound a decent amount older than this man in the video, times are different, you can't judge a person based on your own experiences in life, especially when those experiences don't represent the present day in time we live in, as it's clear you haven't been a kid for some time now. I don't get why people like you bring up this " back in my day " bullshit, it isn't " your day " anymore, when you live in the past you have no possible chance of helping the future for anyone, not this man, and especially yourself.

[@duanescot]

Goephuk Yerself Thank you for making my point for me, excuses piled on top of excuses coupled with a victim mentallity. Things haven't changed at all fundamentally. I heard the EXACT same excuses back when i was a working kid in the 80's, I graduated high school in 90. The only thing that has changed is that the new generations are just flat out weak minded pussies who no long think for themselves or understand concepts of perserverance and a "can do at all costs" attitude. So this really isn't a "back in my day" story, moreover its a, the more things change the more they stay the same. This dude is NO different than the others I've run across that end up penniless and pathetic, it's all about attitude and what you are willing to sacrifice to NOT be that way, end of story

You have a degree in English Literature - THATS WHERE YOU FUCKED UP

[@redsquirrel3893]

While i wouldnt do or have done a degree in English literature, no degree guarantees you a job. Even computer science isnt a guarante you also get pepole with discalculus or someone i tutored who strugled with the way mathmatics was taught to them in there education but progresed fast with more talored learning. Most of us from my graduating year have had to do further study of some kind to train for something specific after haveing done a degree. If it's government funded that's not so bad but normally its not funded. I did a physics degree and still found it tough to find work after. I know some very bright pepole in stem subjects now watresing part time or unemployed or doing further study very few walk into a job right after and theres a lot of luck involved as well as rigorasly hard work, It takes time and resorces to build up the skills and knolage to make you employable iv been teaching my self to develope software, maintain databases use vertion control on git and a number of other development skills witch a year on now gets more intrest and interviews than my degree but i still needed wifi elcetronics and not to have to worry about my next meal to give me the freedom to work on it and i have been know to just compleatly miss out a nights sleep so i could keep working on something witch i know isn't good for my health.

Bless our young, better care needed for all beings

[@breealexandra1]

Thank you for sharing this video! I have always had compassion & a soft spot for young homeless people. As a teenager I'm sure a lot of you know that sometimes you fall into the wrong crowd. Sometimes you pull yourself out & sometimes its a little bit harder to. Especially for a kid that doesn't have any parents or family members to support or encourage him to get on with his life! I think that people have become so narrow minded that whenever they pass a homeless person they automatically assume they put themselves in that situation, they are not ambitious or motivated. Then they don't give them the time of day. Secondly, people have become so selfish that a great percent of people don't want to share what they have worked for because they believe "they should be working too for what they need". Well, times get tough sometimes. Money gets tight. Life happens & problems come around. Sometimes you need a little help & some times you may end up on the street. NOT ALWAYS BY CHOICE. I have been raised in a wealthy family. I got married young & became broke but I praise God every day that we make enough to put a roof over our heads & take care of each other. But if I turn the situation this young man is in around on myself I would want people to care about me & offer any kind of help they could give. With that being said, turn the situation around on yourself. How would you feel if no one offered you help because you were being stereo typed as the typical drug addict, crimal minded, mental homeless person? You would feel alone, hopeless, helpless, & insecure. While I don't believe all homeless people have good intentions, I do believe there are some out there that would give anything to get out of the situation they are in but they feel stuck & insecure. This man is so young, he has the world ahead of him & I pray that he find a way out of where he is now because he deserves it! I hope he comes across someone that tells him there IS light at the end of his tunnel & HE CAN do it!

[@thewabisabiway1194]

It all depends on the parents ; The biggest drawback in the U.S is children moving out at 18 or 17 sometimes 14 or 16. I mean how can the parents let their child out so soon, mustn't it be a gradual process rather than being proud of being the so called 'ndependent ' individuals . In Asia especially India , our parents guide us till almost late 30s and 40s and there are people unfortunately who do not have parents to guide them and some parents do not know how to . The time US people inculate this process of being together for a longer time, to make sure to have a support system, to know there's not everything that can be done independently, the youth over there can have a much better life with the essence of life, bonding , love, responsibility, trust, self growth, mental stability, respect and most importantly knowing how special and grateful they have to be to God for being a human rather than a rock or a plant or some little creature( why not), for him trusting you (youth) to be deserved to be what you ( youth) are. "Always remember God's never going to leave your hand". (For everyone) It's all about your doings , your self control and character... all this depends on how you are guided especially by your parents or guardians. And the youth must remember they are here for a reason and it is their duty to make the world a better place . A person who thinks about his life in a few or all of these terms will definitely not fall for materialistic things or get addicted to any of the 'things ' he should have never known about. Please be grateful to this life !!! Whenever you have problems remember that there are people facing much harder things than you are ! Ps: I hope the man is safe and happy, wherever he is ...my prayers are always with him.
