  1. My thought was I would be sad alone living in a box no warmth no food and no bath. Terrible, horrible, sad I would cry wishing someone would adopt me. I would just reach out to one of those little children and say” do you need help or need a bath or something to get you on your feet? I would help cheer him up I would act like I am his big brother to him. I would do everything and I mean everything to get him back on his feet and help him be a man again and make him feel hope and not him hopeless. I would say” Don’t Give UP Hope Don’t Give UP Hope. Be a man again.

  2. When I watched the video on the homeless I felt very sad. When I saw the sign that said “The American dream is over”. The homeless and poverty has risen of the 25 years. This occurs from low income or natural disasters. Children can run from their parents cause they want to be in the American dream.

  3. If I were homeless I would be crying. Like all the other children I would be sacred all alone in the dark with no food. When I see people on the streets I feel bad for them. I want to let them in my car but, even if there homeless you don’t know what type of person they are they can be or nice. Mom said we can’t bring her/him in the car but, we can give him/her food. Back to if I was homeless. If I was homeless a would have no shower, no hope. I would live in a box alone. I would have no warm air just cold. Only on sunny days would I have warm air. NO ONE WOULD WANT TO BE HOMELESS!

  4. If I were homeless I would be unhappy every day with no food and no water. I would be very poor and they are very needy and everything. Those homeless people have to sleep in cars and they also have to dig in trash cans for food and they also have to ask people for money. People should really take time to care for homeless kids because they are mostly in danger. Homeless are very unhappy with there lives so take time to care for them.

  5. If I was homeless I would be sad because I have no place live. Also I would not have a lot of food. If I was homeless I would have to live in a box. Also if I was homeless I would have to eat out of the garbage. Also I would have to starve, sometimes and have no food.

  6. My thoughts are that I feel really bad for them and i wish i could help them sometimes. They are so poor and we are not and we should be happy for what we got. They have to live in boxes are on the ground why some people live in big houses. Some poor people get a bucket and just set there and people hand them money and they spend it. When they do have money they will try to walk in a store but some people will not let them get any thing. I will feel very bad to be homeless and i would try m best to help my parents so they could live. I would be so worried i would be feeling bad because there is no food or money. Some homeless adults can die and leave their child behind and they can die because they do not know how to get money or get food. I thought when i was reading where they slept and how did they live so long and how the kids lived with no parents.

  7. Being homeless is bad you don’t have no where to sleep and you want have no food. I be feeling sad about all of he homeless people. I wish I had alot of money everytime I see a home less person I will give them at least 200 dollars so they can get something to eat and some clothes to wear. I feel ashamed at who ever who do not like homeless people. My friends mom pick up a homeless person and took to a restaurant and bought him something to eat then she him to the mall and bought him some clothes. He’s still at her house right now I meet the man he is very friendly.

  9. It would be sad because they don’t have any clothes to wear and they don’t have any food. They don’t have anywhere to sleep so they have to sleep on the ground and on the road every night.They have to find food to eat every day so they won’t be hungry. It is very sad when you see people on the side of the road and they have signs up that say homeless please help. And you would see them every day with the same clothes on because they are homeless and they want somewhere to sleep and be able to be safe just like we are.

    • Great comment

  10. If I was homeless I would be sad. I wound not get food everyday. I wound be out side off wal-mart and ask for some money and a home. I am so sorry for the people that have to sleep in cars and in garbage cans and on the ground. I wound help them I would give them a home and clothes and food and water. I would make part of my family and I would take all I of the homeless I can get. I would take care of them and if they got hurt I will help them. I will get them in to a school.

  11. I would be living in a box and can’t eat a lot of food because you will not have a lot to eat. You would be asking for money. You have no food you would have nowhere to go to live. You could not go to restaurants to eat good food. You will see other people eating but won’t get to eat any of it. It is so sad to me.

  12. Homeless people do not have a great life. When I saw that video it reminded me of what I had and what they did not have. It made me cry when they had no home and had to live in boxes with no clothes and no food to eat. I saw homeless people on the street. If I was older I would adopt one. They look so sad out there. If I was you I would help them because what if that was you?

  13. The video was awfully sad I wish I could help those pore homeless people. I can’t believe they sleep in cars and have broken down houses and dogs they can’t take care of that is horrible. One time I was in D.C. and a man was sleep on the sidewalk and I begged my older cousin to give the man her hot dog she said “I wish I could”. I was shocked and thankful for what I have and I wish I could save the animals and people. Also there were kids running from home because they were probable threatened or already hurt by their parents or by somebody they don’t know. The pore people had ripped clothes and scratches. Me and my class are reading a book called Maniac Magee. But I felt real sad for them.
