Homeless since 15. Liverpool homeless couple tell their story

​@@Chrisdebomb20s he said and he could be protecting her and looking after her , if she's on the same drugs as him with no one to look after her she could or would most likely turn to crime or prostitution which then puts her at risk of prison and death cause every time she gets in a car is very dangerous, I've grown up with women who turned to drugs and then prostitution and I'm from an estate where drugs have ravished a lot of people and continue to do so ruining there lives and that of family members , most couples like this are co dependant and only have each other , and never assume he's dragging down the lady because it could be the other way , some of these lads go out and earn money for there woman as soon as there locked up they move straight on to the next man that can feed there habit , or he could have her out on the beat selling herself to pay for his and her habit, I've lived and breathed it ive grew up on a tight knit council estate , where you could get any drug delivered quicker than any pizza ,

Anxiety has made my life extremely difficult. I wish we didn’t live in a such a cold world that doesn’t care about each other. We live in a world where people’s misery is a source of entertainment for others. For example, I was walking by the shops and I spilt my drink only like a little bit and hits my shoe a bunch of school kids laughed at me then they stopped laughing as soon as I put my card in the ATM. I am by no means Rich, but the fact that I was getting out cash actually stop them to laugh and realise that it ain’t funny especially when someone’s got money and you don’t and you’re laughing at them makes no sense

i feel sorry for them but i have to point out that johnny definitely has a hardfaced ego standing in the way for him and his girl getting help. throughout he failed to admit vulnerability and needing help. this will ultimately be his next step but he also failed to admit why he's been in jail so much. the reason why he didn't mention why may link to his attitude overall, and potentially leads me to think he might not be one of the good ones that have fell on hard times here

[@jlc3004]

It's a mask that he hides behind of course he's vulnerable its a bit of bravado that I can see straight through and he probably thinks he has to act that way to keep his girlfriend from worrying about how cold the streets really are , i bet no cameras and a proper conversation you'd find out just how vulnerable he feels he's as see through as a window ,1 brother has been in jail 19 year another brother is lifed off ,he's a heroin addict , and one brother owns shops and pubs and brings up jonnys son , id say thats a product of environment and different age groups will take different paths, with the same up bringing, at the end of the day it's about choices made as a 16 year old , that determine your future

I was living rough at 16 for nearly 18 months in the North East when my parents split and neither wanted me with them. I didn't like the shelter because I was the youngest there and all the older guys were alckies or druggies and you had to keep an eye on your gear. Finally an Aunt took me in and gave me the maternal love I'd never had growing up. You witness the best and worst of people on the streets. There are a myriad of reasons why people are homeless but they all have a story.

Education is the key. No one who grew up in the UK should have allowed themselves to arrive tot his situation. Lack of help is obvious but lack of ambition is also evident. Showing compassion is correct if offering assistance in the right way… Teaching a skill, guidance to set up a home to get off the streets and welfare if an addiction is evident. I only feel sorry for people who try to better themselves and are up against a wall of negativity. In this day and age, NOBODY should be homeless,and everybody should be given a chance to better themself. If there is no ambition on the part of the person, that is another issue…

People love to give fake sympathy for them. Every man and woman is responsible for his or her own actions. I came from council estates brought up in a poor environment with several family related issues no kid should go through but I never turned to drugs or anything and never felt sorry for myself and chose to try and do well for myself. People choose the life they want to live and they have chosen to ruin their own and have most likely been given several opportunities to have a chance in life with work or given support to learn skills but blew it time and time again because they simply don’t want to adapt and contribute, I’ve seen it all my life and it will never change.

To the person who is reading this message. If you ever find yourself in a dark place in life there is hope. Turn to God. Did you know that God really loves you and wants a relationship with you. Only God can heal vour heart and heal vour soul and did you know God has a purpose for your life. He is the only one that can love you in the way you need to be loved. He can also set your path straight in your life.He also has a purpose for your life if you turn to Him. I’m someone who spent a lot of years in darkness until one day God came came into my life. I felt a void in my heart all my life I filled my life with drinking, drugs, partying ,I often got in trouble with police etc. This all started from when I was a young child I was a run away. After many years nothing helped me until God came into my life and filled that void. I suffered from depression for many years God has healed me. I use to smoke God has taken my addiction away from me. God has given me hope in my life. He can do the same for you if let him.I have never experienced peace like I do now. You can also experience that same love and healing and peace in your life But there is a few things you need to know. There will be a time that we will all face Gods judgement. God is righteous and Holy and we are all sinners. In a court of Law if you commit a crime and you was found guilty you will be punished and be sent to jail. Gods prison is Hell and because we are all sinners we will be found guilty. The 10 commandments is where we see if you have committed any sin’s or not. Have you ever lied? Have you lust over someone? Have you ever taken something that was not yours? Have you ever said omg or used Jesus Christ name as a curse word ? These are only 4 of Gods commandments and if you have said yes to any of these questions I’m not judging you but on judgement day God will judge you and will find you guilty for these sins and will be sent to eternal punishment The good news Jesus Christ came and paid the price for your sins He took the punishment we deserve so that you don’t go eternal punishment hell.. He died on the cross and If you believe in your heart that Jesus died and was raised on the third day and repent of your sins and ask in prayer for forgiveness of your sins you will be saved. Which means on judgement day because you have believed and trusted in Jesus and have faith in Him and have been forgiven,on judgement day God will let you go and you will be saved from going to eternal punishment. Jesus was sacrificed to save you and everybody else because of the love He has for us John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. The gospel is not God hatefully saying turn to me or I'll send you to Hell the gospel is God's mercy and Grace saying you're already on your way to Hell turn to me and I’ll save you. Download the gate way bible app and read the gospel of John and you can learn how Jesus came to save you. Please watch a video called.
