The runaway become in a homeless who haven’t a good place when they can sleep or have a positive support in their live, some institutions try to help that kind of people but never something is perfect always exits bad and good people in the world, people affect the image of those institution with some bad behavior with the homeless. They just have a street as home, the different between runaways and homeless is little, exits a short line between the two wordsUIKeyInputDownArrow.

A big percentage of runaways came back to their home with their family in a time of one day or less because the majority of runaways are children or teen and they can’t survive the hard live in the street, but the other percentage don’t return to home they are the boys or girls that have serious problems in their house with parents, physical abuse, emotional problems or suffer abuse and by those reasons teen live in the street and it present some vicious like drugs, alcohol, sex and bad people that just hurt you  in a way that the runaways start asking if they made the best decision or they made a mistake.

The Society nowadays it still having a closed mind about the LGBT people, and this is a big problem for the childrens in their families, because when they decide to speak with their parents about what they really feel and they notice that their parents didn’t give them the support that they need so as a result of that they decide to leave home or sometimes they are kicked out, and they ends on streets according to Clak,R (2017) “LGBTQ youth experience homelessness at rates that are disproportionate to their heterosexual and cisgender peers. They make up an estimated 20% of the homeless youth population  while they at most constitute 10% the larger population of youth”

Homeless and Houseless

The society create some stereotypes about homeless, they think that homeless are drug addicts, thief and a bad people but this is not true, the true is totally different, homeless just want one opportunity to improve their life, get a job and have an comfortable life, some people grab videos doing social experiments and people have a bad behavior with homeless, if we don’t help them, who will do? , if the society change the perspective about homeless and decide to collaborate with any organization or foundation of that kind of problem, people do a good action without give money maybe you fell insecurity when you give money to homeless because you think that they will go to buy drugs but they just want food and a home or a shelter.

Homelessness, Is there a Solution?
When we try to find the solution for homelessness maybe the firs idea that we have is to give them money, in that way these people are gping to solve their problems,besides what we don´t consider is that actually, we have stereotypes that influence our perspective about homelessness, we think that all of them are drug addict and that´s why giving money is not the solution.
Maybe now we are considering to offer homelessness buildings or shelters, in that way, they will sleep in better conditions than in the streets, but that´s not the whole solution for homelessness.
We need to create new job opportunities, most of the time, people who live on the street are there because they don´t have a job, but we cannot forget the best option that we have to give a solution to homelessness and that solution is to establish more connections between our relatives, if we start to improve the relationship in our families, we will create a society in which homelessness is not going to be a problem anymore, we cannot waste our time, let´s start doing this now, they need them.

For homeless people there are different ways of surviving in the streets where their live. The help that these people have are shelter to bed only for one day, organizations that offer social services to help these people or support groups that also help in some way to this type of people who are in this situation. Thanks to the help of this type of organizations, people who live on the streets have been decreasing. An example of these organizations: Shelter Listening.com (2017) "The organization is dedicated to serving the homeless and low-income. Our shelter list consists of over 4,000 listings and includes emergency shelters, homeless shelters, day shelters, transitional housing, residential drug / alcohol rehabilitation programs and permanent affordable housing". They offer within the organization different types of help for the homeless.
