Hi Mr Nobita. My little sister was not homeless and my parents were supportive but she could not cope and she kill her self age 22. Please keep up your good work and I hope this Young Lady gets a role that understands her. I think she would be great working a cat cafe looking after the cats and customers as she could bring her cat to work, talk to and help homeless customers, win win. Take Care and Stay Safe.

[@lenardz]

@@smallwisdom8819 I think the girl explained that they refuse to create a new ID as you have to have an address. I believe it’s standard practice (at least in Canada here) for the government to mail you your new ID. No address, no place to send your ID. Theoretically, that problem could be solved if she had a friend who’d be willing to allow her to use their address for the government to send her ID. Unfortunately, it doesn’t sound as if she has much, if any, friends. That being said, Nobita could theoretically allow her to use his address.

Her smile is a broken person's smile. I've seen a ton of people who smile like that. People who have things inside that they just can't show but they have no choice but to smile. She probably cried so much already that at this point crying just turns to smiling. This is depressing AF.

[@Analfeber]

@@fireinthenight9028 There most likely IS a reason why he kicked her out, indeed. But because of her diagnose combined with lack of love, empathy, trust and support from her parents, she clearly has some issues that needs time to be fixed. To me she looks like a lovable and positive girl, who can do good things for herself and the world. She just need the right opportunity, patience and be allowed to make mistakes and have setbacks. Changing her life isn't done in the blink of an eye, when most of her life up until now, 25 years, has been a negative spiral. But yeah, I definitely see hope for her, and I really wish that both she and other homeless in the same situation can get better support from the government.

I literally said that he doesn't need to help everyone, but rather he made a video about her that will make him money (likely more than 20k yen, which is around 200 bucks). Nobita used her to make money, the small meal he gave her cost at most 7-8 dollars. She badly needs money and likely will die if her diet of only bananas is continued. 200 dollars is not a lot of money in Japan, especially if you're as popular as Nobita in youtube. He also had the option of starting a gofundme for her, just to help her out a bit (something that wouldn't have needed any money from him). He didn't do that either. My morality would've made me give her money if I was in the same position as Nobita. I think that if he used her for a video and to make money, she should get a cut of his profits from this video.

@@midnull6009 It is sad. I grew up in a Christian family, but I would never discard any child of mine if they came out to me. I know that many people will have negative views of Christians and those views are not unwarranted. I have aunts and uncles who are so conservative that they could not comprehend their children being gay, they would say things like, "Oh, it's just a phase", or "it's disgusting", etc. But unlike them, I don't judge people for their sexuality. I refused to adopt such bigoted, ignorant views especially the views of "all gays burn in hell". That's such bull shit to me and I can't understand how anyone can say that and claim to be "Christian". Those are such ugly ways to think and it's no wonder lots of people have a negative view of us. I would love any child that I have in the future, whether they are gay, bi, trans, asexual, etc. Children are not a right, they are a privilege and it saddens me when there are parents who would just throw them out on the streets without a second thought...

[@flameshoter6]

My father would have if he had the chance. My mom has told me he was never abusive or angry when they were together, before I was born. My parents were together for I think around 20 or so years. They had trouble having us. So, you could say I am a test tube baby. Ironically, he was an abusive parent. He kept saying over the years he was going to kick my sister and I out at 18. Knowing full well most people today can't live like that. I took most of the beatings than my fraternal twin sister. He made a really good income. My mom worked part time for a few hours a day. Anyhow, he would beat me up for the smallest things with metal objects and couldn't control his anger. Dragged our pets down into the basement because he couldn't stand a dog barking. Had me doing side jobs since I was around 5 yrs old if I had to guess...When my parents finally divorced, I was 13 yrs old, he did everything in his power to restrict alimony and child support. Child services didn't really believe us because I didn't have any bruises. I don't bruise easy. It took 10-11 years for a deal to be made in which my mom was finally able to receive a small portion of his pension in exchange for stopping alimony.....Otherwise the court battles would just go on for years on years on years.... I had to fight in court to get my small college fund. Which I had to use some of the fund for lawyer costs. His lawyers did not want to work with him and his attitude. The judge told him, if he wanted to see his kids, he needed to go to therapy. He made the decision not to do that even though he moved out of state for work. Some how he contacted a side of his family that he never really knew a few years back and threatened I wouldn't get any money when he goes. I never replied. But honestly, I'm not upset about that. My mom couldn't support my sister and I. We managed to get thru college before having to foreclose on the house a little over a year ago (was living in there for 10 years) and got into a mobile home. My mom and I split the bills now that I have a okay job. My sister is like my father. I have plenty of stories about her too. She joined the national guard but was sent overseas because she is a nurse. Chose to get pregnant and married after meeting someone less than a year. Had the child last year right before COVID and chose to not let my mom ever see the child or hold it. While I had to care for my mother who has a bunch of medical issues.... My sister and I rarely spoke since she was 13 because she always had an attitude that was uncalled for. But my mom had a closer relationship with her. Yet out of the blue, told my mom and I that we were toxic... No she just wasn't getting any benefit..... She basically threw her family away.

I was homeless for a couple years some time ago here in the States. Honestly, it's not the sleeping outside in poor weather that gets to you most, or the cops kicking you awake, or the digging through dumpsters or days without food or being sick or afraid of violence... it's the ordinary people, pretending that they don't see. It's the waking up, each and every day, sure in the knowledge that no one, no where gives a DAMN whether you're alive or dead. That's the hardest part to bear. The few that DO see you either try to exploit you or sneer at you, yelling to 'get a job'. And, if you're lucky, you do, but people forget that you have no resume, no call back number, no way to wash clothes, nowhere safe to store belongings, no identification often, no alarm clock, no transportation... And, even if you DO find work, you're still homeless. A place to live usually means first month, last, security deposit, utilities, credit check... not to mention having to at the same time improve your appearance to fit your workplace and fend off others who will quickly learn you now have money and wish to extort it from you. And again, that's all IF you find an employer willing to take a chance. You're stuck in fight or flight mode, 24/7. Think of how often a person unwinds with a beer after a hard day. Is it any wonder so many turn tor alcohol or drugs for an escape from that sort of situation, even if it's only momentary, or detrimental to them in the long term? I'm not saying that I condone others that went that route, just that I can comprehend it. The bulk weren't homeless because they were addicts, they were addicts because they were homeless. It's a hard life. It either forcibly matures you at a rapid rate, or leaves you... frozen in time, locked at a mental maturity level until you get out of the situation. Something many never do. It hurts to think of how the anger and bitterness twisted some, but for a great many like myself, the situation also taught us to be more empathetic and caring to our common man. Please, if nothing else, just... acknowledge them as you pass by. You don't have to give food or coin if you don't wish, but, at least acknowledge that they're there. That they're human. That they're a part of your world and community too.

@Roberto The Don Yeah, been off the streets near twenty years now. Some rough patches to be be sure along the way and for certain times living month to month, but doing fine financially now. ^_^

[@wardenm]

@@dona7616 After doing some volunteer work, I eventually went into social services myself and made a career there, trying to give back to some of the same services that helped me, as well as help others in positions I'd been in. Honestly... the biggest things seem to be a twofold issue: stopping it before it starts, and standard of living. For the first, you have a LOT of folks that are just overflow from mental health, nursing homes, or foster care, kicked out and left to fend for themselves due to lack of funding/space/support. Once they're on the sstreets, their condition spirals and it's insanely hard to get back off them. For the second, there will ALWAYS be some who are chronically homeless/not wanting to improve their lot, but if you only provide services based on a 'success rate', you wind up only helping those who probably would have made it without help anyhow. By improving their standard of living in general, yes some may coast, but desperate cases will succeed a lot more often and general mood and communication with the community in general will improve. Access to public toilets. Day centers to wash clothes and type resumes at. Safe meal spaces and access to counselors. Syringe drop off programs have been proven to drastically cut down on heroin overdoses, diseases, and loose drug paraphenalia in the community. Community outreach, such as the volunteers here in town that go to different camps handing out clean socks, lists of services to get help at, q tips, bandages, etc. A lot of times it's about improving things, even if you can't fix it completely. Sometimes, sadly the only person looking out for some of them was their dealer. Actually had one get ahold of me because he was worried one of his friends he dealt to was suicidal. Sure, it didn't fix the drug problem, but at least he was alive and using less after, since we got him attending little activies that were free in town and finding stuff to do, you know? Just... gotta meet folks halfway with things sometimes. Help lift em up, and the more you do, the more they'll naturally i prove on their own.

[@wardenm]

@@2911-f7g SO much this. Never used drugs, very rarely splurged on some alcohol, never begged for cash... even still would get either ignored, spat at, or occasional looks and comments simply for sitting and talking to a friend now and again.

And the scars it leaves... they stay with you. They never really leave. The self consciousness and depression, that loneliness even when you finally DO have others around you, the gnawing fear of winding up back homeless again... I wouldn't wish it all on my worst enemy. But, at the same time... I'm thankful for it. It made me a better person, made me appreciate things and meet people I wouldn't have otherwise.

They provided food, shelter, training (drone technician), salary, and funds for education once he gets out. When he left the military (he wanted to stay but his gf told me to leave), he had 100k+ in savings since he lived in the base and didn’t spend anything on food/shelter, and got funds to go to college. Also if he wanted, he could have continued as technician for a private company but instead he’s going to college to become an optometrist (paid by the government).

It's kind of absurd to give a homeless person $80000 or more, based on a sad story and pretty face alone. Only a portion of that money is enough to change the lives of many people.

Japanese government is very good at hiding dark side of the society. Homeless is a problem they cannot solve and not interested in trying.

[@高木正弘-e9z]

@@freeskier64 I agree. The Japanese government is promoting the good parts of Japan to overseas and advertising that "Japan is a wonderful country", but the actual problem is quite deep-rooted. Of course it is a good country. However, as a Japanese person, I have been working in this country for about 15 years, and I think that this country is not suitable for working.

[@高木正弘-e9z]

Of course, foreigners need more trouble. It is quite difficult for foreigners to work in Japan. It's a pension issue. Since that is a system for Japanese people, foreigners will lose money. Foreigners who want to work in Japan should first know about the Japanese pension system. It's similar to the Ponzi scheme.

[@riseandshinemrfriman5925]

She didn't have to control her emotions. When you are alone and experience _real_ shit for a daily routine for years and years, you have choices to make. You either give up and slowly die or you abandon parts of your humanity in order to survive. Admitting or allowing yourself to be or feel weak, or sad, can kill you on the street. She learned to hide her weaknesses and not think about them. It's like a coat you put on when you face other humans. One problem with that is, once you discover and obtain this coat, this defensive mechanism, the longer you wear it, the more difficult it becomes to remove it again. That' what psychologists would refer to as a personality disorder. Those "defensive mechanisms" can accumulate, depending on how shitty the experiences were and how many of them impacted the psyche, at what age, and if the person had time to rehabilitate/recover and countless of other factors. It's complicated, but...she didn't have to "think" about controlling her emotions. After so many years, it's either do or die. This is especially true for trauma that occurs at child's age.

[@NiNGalaxU2]

Her first goal wanting to live with the cat almost made me cry. Everyone out there wants to be the next Bill Gates with huge villas so much money they don't know how to spend it.

It's why the world was created this way and it's also the justification for the existence of evil. Once you hit your lowest point, you realize what is important. Also, being in the low point gives you valuable information about the world you would never have gleaned otherwise.
