@109,

My story was a response to #74: "19 year old homeless girl? Yeah, I'll take my grain of salt now thank you very much."

Because using baseless demographic stereotypes to call someone's credibility into question detracts from the discussion. It's also nasty, ignorant, and uncalled for.

Thanks for asking.

Rotten:

At 19 years old, after my dad lost his job, I went from working part-time and going to college to dropping out so I could work full time--and I wound up homeless anyway.

Have you ever been homeless? Do you even know any homeless people? Do you have any understanding at all of the variety of circumstances by which people find themselves homeless? Do you have the slightest idea what it takes to get out of that situation once you're in it?

Take your grain of salt and choke on it.
