Positive ways to deal with being homeless?!

Going to a homeless shelter and seeking out info on educational training!. Look the government gives millions of dollars away every year to people who can not afford to go to college, so I'm sure there must be programs for homeless people who are willing to and wanting to get things like their GED or a trade skill!. Check out the AmeriCorps Website they may have some info!.

Here are a few- not really sure if you mean positive things about being homeless or ways to deal with being actually homeless (e!.g!. things you can do), so here's both:

Relating to the psychological improvements:
I'd say the most major one would be having first hand experience that can enable you to help others

The whole pleasure-pain concept, after being homeless even a cup of hot soup is a blessing- "you don't know what you got until it's gone"

Appreciate things more (kinda the same as above)

Hope this helps!. Sorry if it's not what you were looking forWww@Answer-Health@Com

Both me and my girlfriend and most of my close friends have been or currently are homeless but we try to look on the brighter sides of things to deal with it!. I am 19 now and have been homeless for about 3 years out of the the past five years of my life!. At times it has really sucked but where there are downs there are ups too!. The first time each one of us became homeless we freaked out for about a week realizing we had nowhere to go or call home but after that we just turned it into a survival game each day thinking about where we were going to sleep and where to get food so we dont starve to death!. homelessness can be fun at times dont get me wrong!. You meet tons and tons of new people you would have never met if you had a place to go!. Sometimes you get in long meaningful conversations with people you dont know and because you are homeless you dont really have a social standard you have to live up to and you are not bound to one place or held back by even the most simple obligations people normally have!. You also see two parts of people in the world ; you see how cruel the world really can be yet you see how nice and compassionate some people are!. You learn to appreciate the small things in life most people take for granted like food and being warm on a winter night!. Because I have been homeless for so long I try to think more positive about things and see everyday as a challenge and adventure for my very life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well when you are homeless and sitting on the street
you could collect money, but at the same time talk to people
and tell them how you want to change your life and
maybe somone will help you find a job
then soon you could also find a place to live
hope this is a good idea,although it is not your ideaWww@Answer-Health@Com
