Finally a kid who is homeless with a rough life , that's actually doing something for herself - going to school and staying positive! Instead of being a junkie and complaining about how bad her life is and using these trials as an excuse to be a loser. Good for her. I love it
This girl is absolutely beautiful, wholesome, and gorgeous. I would love to know what you have done, your journeys and virtues.
I love how she is so positive after going through so much thank you I needed that
My Dear, I am 60 yrs old and still have the scars. The physical ones may fade, the emotional ones are the devil in the details and you my dear young Lady have managed those demons and you must believe that you have even encouraged and reassured a senior like myself. You are stronger than most I know, man or woman. Keep on YOUR Path, God Bless You & Thank You M'Lady!
Choosing to run away from a crazy family is intelligent.
I truly hope things get better for you. I have a 21 year old and an 18 year old - both at University. I couldnt bear the idea that they would not have a home or family or a Mum to come to, to enusure everything would turn out OK.
Power to you young lady. Be strong. Much love.
shes very right this is kinda the inspiration i needed.... great vid...
I was a homeless at young age too, I was abused, now I have 3 houses, just stay honest, even you are surrounded by dishonest, be humble and keep moving, if you can not fly you walk, if you can not walk you crawl.
I love your positive attitude. Good luck at whatever you do. I'm sure you will succeed.
I will now and forever be so thankful for what I have.
The young woman is an overcoming winner with the statement..."there's no negative...it's only lessons." There is power in yielded acceptance and focusing on self improvement instead of whining. Utmost respect for her!
Samantha..keep it up! everyday is a blessing
That girl is so pretty, sounds like she has a good head on her shoulders for all that shes been through. Hope everything turns out OK for her.
She seems strong and resilient. I believe she will make her way in the world. If she ever becomes a parent, I believe she will be a fine mother.
The sky is my roof, the ground is my bed. The water and foliage upon this world is my food for life. This world is my home.
Love one another as I love you love one another....that's God to me ...may this Girl find her way thru life and be at peace with love in Jesus name
The girl that made this video is one beautiful and smart young lady. Wowee!
Great words and advice.
You are a very strong individual so your trials will be great. You will receive many tests before you are granted a great wisdom.
My goodness she's tough! She doesn't even sound angry or sad about her situation! She's going to go far.
Homeless but not a beggar. Nice to see that such hardship can be character building. Some aren't so lucky.
The biggest LOL I've ever done in my life!
I find this girl very beautiful.
I admire this girl. She is a thinker. I hope she is doing well.
she's canadian. she's escaped an abusive situation. she's making the best out of her life and speaking positive, inspirational words.
how about some one doing a follow up on this lady?it would be nice to see her doing good!
She is beautiful
You rock and are so positive it's just grate to hear
Samantha. Homeless and *hot*.
+michaelrose93 Yeah, doesn't add up for me. Not saying it isn't possible, but the very few attractive homeless women I've witnessed were either mentally ill, or drug addicts.
Answerthequestion So many women are homeless for non-drug related issues. Its easy for an abusive boyfriend to kick their girl out even if she’s in a different state than her family. All it takes is getting sick and losing your job. Drug addicts and mentally ill people will spend more time on the streets usually so it would make sense that the ones you met weren’t the purtiest.
I hope that she is still with us and her friends !!! Wisdom can come from ANYONE !!!
She's an amazing person!
Her mom obviously misinterpreted the spare the rod and spoil the child verse by ignoring the rest of the Bible which says to love (especially one's own daughter). My own parents have told me I dishonour them when I have judged them for being hypocrites. They conveniently ignore the verse about not vexing your children.
i agree with you Alejandro. The Bible is good, her parents obviously didnt understand it and thats not fair for her to bash religion just because her parents didnt really read the Bible nor understand it.
KittyLoveKawaii Thanks lovely, cute kitty.
anytime :)and Thank you
I like the one mans response..."Actually I chose this way of life" I had a friend who went from being a paid employee to making money at odd jobs under the table no taxes and bought his first house with cash
Intresting how in the first part she condemns her mother for saying everything happens for a reason but then later she says all the bad things that happen to her are just lessons in life.
This is the first attractive woman I've EVER seen homeless in my 34 years. I thought it was a myth.
Well you've never been to Arizona then
that's dumb-good looking people are never homeless then?
I really do feel sorry for her abuse. She is the first homeless person I want to make out with. A rare thing.
Poor girl.So pretty and homeless.I cry.Im sad
every man has a measure of faith. and i like your approach
There is no drama - only lessons.
Bless you....
I command angels to go assist all hurting 💔 believers nows thank you God for hearing my prayers
Nah. Not mad. I didn't want this to devolve into the typical TH-cam craziness. I'm having a brew and waiting for the fire works. Gotta love holidays in the middle of the the week.
Good for choosing the street. You are richer than the kids with student loans.
I was there once too with no shelter in sight. one day I changed it all around. I got a job and kept it didn't buy drugs I paid bills
Brave girl.
What does not kill you only makes you stronger.
I am a Christian and sometimes we don't represent Jesus very well--try not to compare Him to our mistakes. In your video you mentioned destiny and you understand that you have one. I hope you will know that the Bible says that God put eternity in our hearts, He wants you to know that He has your eternity, your destiny in His hands and He knows how to show you how to get there better than anybody else--and He gives us Jesus to do that. I hope you can look past the mistakes of His servants and go to Him, He has got all of the pieces to your life:)
+Jack McBride Yeah great advice, go back to some others who "represent" Jesus. Maybe this time this girl won't get beaten and suffer psychological damage that will be with her for years if not forever.
+The Green Cesspool Are you saying that this problem doesn't happen in the home of atheists ? You know that's not true . The biggest problem with the Church today is , it has become like the rest of the world . I'm afraid Mr. McBride is not seeing or willing to see just how decayed the church has become . The Bible even says that what this young girls mother has done is one of the worst things a person can do . It is very specific about a parent who is so harmful that they lead a person away from God . It says it would be better that her mother had never been born . No one today likes to hear that we should not be self indulgent . In fact our country is full of narcissist who use all kinds of excuses to bring harm on others . Our government is one of the worst offenders . What this girl needs to see it there is hope , there are people who are genuinely good and care about her . Blaming religion is no more effective than saying ALL parents are bad and doing nothing to make the world better . We are great about condemning each other but , sadly very few are good at taking the time to show those who are in need any compassion . The church has failed miserably , I agree . But , the truth is AMERICA has become a selfish , me first , screw you nation that tramples on the poor and the sick . We ALL are guilty . PK
@mary sunshine why are you so full of hate?
@mary sunshine I have no idea what your talking about I am not stalking anyone. You are crying victim because you know you are wrong.
Great point.
how so exactly?
Stay strong and be positive take it day by day something good will come out with time💘👍
She's too pretty to be homeless.
What do her looks have to do with her being homeless or not? I guess only ugly folks can become homeless?
Eric Furgeson
When someone is appealing, people will be more apt to help them out. Especially women.
Anyone can become homeless. Even someone as handsome as I. Lol
But seriously, when I got out of the military (during Reagan's trickle on economics) I was homeless for a year and a half. I finally was able to pull myself up by my bootstraps (so to speak) and God blessed me with a home and employment and I've been prosperous ever since. This pretty young woman will get her chance hopefully and she'll be fine. She just needs a chance.
its a proven fact, attractive ppl are offered more in life and are generally more successful... orry if you dont like it, but its just the way it is
Michael Remington
I agree, that was kind of my point.
Unfuckwithable Theophile....yeah, and your too ugly to be stupid.
your destined to do great things... I like that. I speak that over my children.
help needed
I remember a movie a while back about a girl that was homeless she lived on the street and put her self through Harvard.Now she owns some big law firm up in NY
Hope those guys are doing okay now.
I was homeless at 16. Me and many Lgbt teens in the mid 90s were. I spent four years traveling in absolute solitude. I met ppl but they were just passing faces. Ppl don't hire you when you don't have an address or reliable transportation. Back than they passed a law that you had to have a work permit signed by your parents and your school to work. I tried college. Didn't work out. Than I was blessed by a few good ppl giving me a leg up.
Never been homeless you do what needs to be done to get what you need do not judge unless you have been there.Homelessness is not prejudice it can happen to anyone!
At least a woman can marry into wealth. A man trying to do that? LOL, good luck with that.
Happens, just gotta be a good guy.
Carlos T
every one knows the nice guy finishes last. All girls want is the biggest dick on the block.
I guess the jokes on you.
My friend doesn’t work hes not disabled and his girl pays all his bills and food and takes him out everyday.
Most girls aren’t like this but if you find one 👅
Men marry "up" all the time where the woman has more money.
right, my mind was blown.
homeless yet able to purchase cigarette and booze...
Im not homeless but im in a situation where if i had to choose to drink and forget about everything or eat,id choose first.
Pera Peric you will have no idea what you will do until you're homeless and what's important.
Exactly!!!
I feel sorry for them. I give food whenever I see a homeless person.
anyone who needs good job like it here.
Just as long as she doesn't repeat what her mamma did...
hi, I'm saleste Alonzo and this is a great film! I have a few questions if you don't mind answering for me. I'm in the making of a short film and I need some great tips and questions I could ask.
Take it from someone who knows many real christians (not just people who say they are which is ALOT). My mom's side are all christians and they are the kindest, most excepting and loving people that i know. My mom is an unbelievable person. My dad left when i was young and she has loved and cared so much for me and my brothers. She has been there for me through every hardships and many others! She follows the word of God, unlike those others who put a bad name on Christians.
is there a follow up to that story ?
As one homeless man put it.. two things that are worse than homelessness is abuse and illness. A lot of homeless ppl were victims of abuse so that should say something right there. They perfer homeless to being abused.
I agree with you. I see little difficulty for her to find a place.
YOUNG AND LAZY!
I love god and even people with the struggles of the homeless god is always there for them
that is one gorgeous girl/woman. enough said.
I found out I have autism which is part of why I wasn't doing so well and my father had died. Didn't have coping skills. Now I am 33. Straight A college student at New Hampshire Institute of Arts. Good luck to you.
good on you may the world hold your dear
My personal believe is that when you are genuinely trying to be a good person regardless if what your religion is or if you are religious. You'll make life better for everyone and if some divine being is there to reward you after death thats cool. But you shouldn't be good to "work yourself to heaven" but because you actually want to make other creatures life better.
There are a few people out there who are really good at being homeless, and if you saw them, they wouldn't look homeless at all. homelessness requires a skill that only few have. And some, who do it by choice.. amazingly, I've seen men thrive on this lifestyle. (only few though)
Yes She IS
if i knew i would be homeless soon, i would save up for a 3 year 24 hour fitness membership and live in there. theres showers, toilets, lockers, swimming pools, sauna, steam rooms, and weights to lift when your bored. You could meet people that could help you out in there. When your clean and fit, you have better chances of recovery than staying dirty and looking like crap.
There are times when informing the authorities will only worsen a situation as odd as it sounds it is true. Also, most children are too scared to go to the police for help that may or may not come. Aside from that they are more afraid of the 'what if the officer can do nothing to help me' situation as it could turn into more backlash.
I think the worst would be hopeless AND homeless. Some people... they've no prospects at all. This can be another effect of the situation which caused them to become homeless in the first place. It can happen.
I need to say though. She spoke a lot of sense at the end - I've thought similar things myself very recently. Fair play to her, I hope she has a bright future.
Homelessness is something we all need to embrace. Who needs to live in an apartment? Why give everything you've got to a rich landlord? Freehoming is where it's at - shelters, group tentups , livin in rvs and /or living out of a car is the way to go. CHOOSE HOMELESSNESS - it's the way to "make it " on minimum wage. This is the Future of American anyway. The End is Near.
With a focus on transients, homeless people, and their antithesis, the 1%, the goal of So "Suddenly Meaningless documentary" (on youtube) is to explore the similarities and differences between these two diverging sides of the social spectrum. While exploring the stories and circumstances that brought them to where they are now. And by popularizing the question "What is the meaning of life?" the movie illuminates the connections and lack of, between all individuals, and socioeconomic classes.
And as I said, I'm naturally a violent person. I'm well aware of that, how I deal with that is by knowing that if I drink to much it can go wrong and hurt someone. And I put that power purely on myself. I know I snap easily so I find ways to relieve that tension. So in essence I all do it with self knowledge and empowerment. Almost the exact opposite of what the AA does by "switching addictions".
the girl is beautiful,georgous,nice white skin,blonde hair,she dont look poor if she go to asia,,people will think that she is rich,like paris hilton.
She is actually from a small town in Ontario, outside of Ottowa. Canada.
Homeless people choose it. Pride or stubbornness or attention hungry. There are always options no matter where you live on earth.
I was thinking about something like homeless vs. hopeless (such as the cause of living with verbally abusive family environment). Which one is much worst between the two? I think being hopeless is worst than homeless, but I can possibly be wrong.
I would wish to help her...
God I wish there was something I could do..
Its been almost a decade since this video was uploaded bro, she probably married and kids,
YES
yes
You only grow during adversity and necessity is the main driver. She understands this. Don't blame your origins, they are the forces that forged you. If you have a will, there will be a way.
YEs I agree!
People are taking this the wrong way. After working at a gas station for 8 years i've seen all kinds of homeless people! I've seen the kind who choose to live that way and actually save a TON of money! I have one homeless guy who is talking about buying his own home next year which is amazing! I have another homeless guy who used to be a teacher and does classes at the library for cheep and he grows a really long beard and looks like crap because he knows it will have people give him stuff! And i've seen the bad sides, I knew a drunk hobo who wouldn't give up booze even though if he did it would mean his family would of given him a home to live in for free for the rest of his days....there are all kinds, i've been nearly homeless myself so don't judge people in todays throw away kind of lifestyle.
You have never been homeless,so please,never speak again.
Library?
Being homesless that far north has to be some harsh shit.
You figure she could qualify for government housing or something.
so true
The young blonde lady describing her over the top religious parents, reminds me of the 1976 movie "Carrie." Check out the trailer to the movie; she is Carrie.
Hope the best.
Hey! I live in Maine! It *IS* the way life should be! :-D
+Barnaby ap Robert Maine is great, love those lobsters.
You can't even define free will, let alone blame the state of the world on it.
