123. But please, can you at least
understand that NOT EVERY HOMELESS PERSON IS AN ADDICT??????????? That is a terrible stereotype that does horrendous damage to them. Yes, undeniably, there are homeless who are addicted, but not the majority. And, like I said, the fastest-growing group of homeless are FAMILIES who were living from paycheck to paycheck and lost their jobs or had some other misfortune, and some of them are even (gasp, shock, horror!) from middle-class backgrounds. So you are not doing the homeless any favors either, by stereotyping ALL of them and lumping them all into one big group stereotype.
