Too many young people are swallowed up by street life after leaving an abusive home where the parents are drug addicts them selves or alcoholics.
For young people the streets become a battle to survive with some abandoned building to sleep in at night to keep the chill out of your bones. Street gangs make most city streets as dangerous as a war zone in Iraq. Living in street life to survive you learns not to trust anybody in the streets.
On the streets are hookers as young as fifteen and younger these girls end up being sold for drugs by pimps to street walking to pay for drug addiction. Rape abuse even worse comes from street life where people beaten and battered daily.
People from all ages and walks of life live on the streets of big cities where people must always avoid getting close to any one. Most street people are always fighting to avoid the man street gangs that are always trying to control they`re territory.
Most young men being initiated into gangs are beaten by every gang member to prove they belong to the gang for life where death is usually the only way out of a gang. For young girls joining gangs the initiation is even worse. Street life in America brings hunger homelessness life just to eat is a struggle as stealing is a daily process of street life especially for drug addicts need money to have they`re fix.
Drugs stop a street person`s mind from learning growing and developing as a normal mind does its stops the learning process to receive knowledge because of the drugs fogging up the person`s mind twenty four seven. Most streets are covered by sleeping homeless people even more the alcoholics who are drunk for years living only to drink.
Life on the streets has people of all races even worse most have some type of drug or alcohol addiction they need money to feed the habit daily. Murder crime drive by shootings of children happens almost daily where no one sees any crime.
These are most days in American street life people all looking at each other trying to figure out enemy or friend the fight goes on to live stay warm with some abandoned building to sleep in for the night. Lives on American streets are hard long make a person tough just trying to live.
Then there are the many lost mentally ill people who are sick still have no medication to control they`re mental illness daily. Without enough mental care available in America mental ill people have to choices to live in jail or on the streets.
Life on the streets people live by a code of nobody sees any crime or criminal act committed by any person looking for money for drugs mostly. Life on America`s street is like living in a daily war zone where fights stabbings rape and shootings are a daily common occurrences.
A street person usually never knows where they will sleep each night because abandoned buildings are most often where drug addicts sleep after having they`re fix. A person can end sleeping in empty cars roofs or even a garage.
This is why America needs to help stop the loss of so many young people to this type of street life in America. American street life claims too many of the nation`s young people where they end up on drugs or made even worse after time in a jail.
