In all society exist a group on the streets, denominated, The Homeless.
The Homeless is a person who doesn't have a place where stay, and in some situatons they ask for money, but a just a little percent, use this money to eat or do something else in benefit of them. The majority of the people around the world think that they lie to get money and then use to buy drugs. This is a stereotype that create a different perspective about them, and generate big disscussions to the goverment.
But, ¿Is this true?
According to the NIDA (National Institute On Drug Abuse), in recents survies of 432 homeless youths in "Los Angeles", the 71% had an alcohol or drug abuse disorder or both in some situations. Also, another National survey of 600 youths living on the streets, the 50% of those tried to kill themselves for drug or alcohol abuse.
In the other hand, a big percentage of the runways become homeless, because the majority of them didn't get job or leave the streets.
Another study of the APHA (American Public Health Association), estimated that the homeless people in United States is between 250000 to three million, and they present a a serious health problems, icluiding the heavy use of alcohol and other drugs which heighten the morbidity rate among the ppopulation.
Also, According to APHA "Today's homeless population is more diverse than in the past. It includes women, children, families, adolescents, people of color, the mentally ill, and users of other drugs, as well as the male skid row alcoholic. Their lives tend to be marked by multiple risk factors, including poverty, malnutrition, unemployment, physical disabilities, and mental illness, in addition to the complex problems arising from homelessness itself and use of alcohol and other drugs."
In my opinion, is imposible to asure of at least one homeless on the strees didn´t prove one substance during their lifes. So, for me, the homeless people derseve this stereotype, and the goverment should take action like shelters, jobs; to eliminate the homeless on the streets.
