Homeless Teens
We have all seen or interactive with a teenager, but yet there is a specific type of teenagers that we don’t even pay no mind too. i am talking about homeless teens. Yes, there is teenagers that are homeless and some not because they choose too but because they had no options nor resources or any sort of help.
In 2014 there were 45,205 teens were unaccompanied and were homeless. Also the total percentages of homeless teens make up 34% which there are under the age 24 (sources?).
-can you give more background info here? Specifically regarding the population of teens here in California since that is the focus of your article
Some teens that are homeless were sexually abused in which caused them to run away and that made them become homeless, 21-40% of homeless teens were sexually abused.
-I separated this section from the stats before because this is a specific population of homeless teens- do you plan on focusing on this specific group? If not, then here would be a good place to detail the various reasons teens are homeless so you are continuing to develop a context
Many people see a homeless teens and right away think the worst of them such as they are runaways , they were kicked out from there home for bad behavior , or simply they are doing drug and alcohols.
-here you are touching on negative stereotypes given to homeless teens- develop this more
-where do the come from, how do they stick around, how true are they, and how do they affect us?
But we need to actually take the time to talk to homeless teens and find out the actual caused of their homelessness and also try to help them find shelters or even resources.
-okay, so what resources specifically for California homeless teens are out there?
-what can you, as a LA times writer, offer your readers after informing them of this specific situation regarding homeless teens in our state/city?
