Bullying
I feel that bullying is stupid and that's why kid goes and does something as horrible as shooting in a school. Some of the kids that have done this do it because they were bullied and no one would help them or make it stop. At my school they not only bullied a boy, but they sexually molested him and that is horrible. He got bullied and molested and they didn't do anything about it other than to put it in the newspaper after he suffered all of that torture. That made it even worse because now he has to deal with publicity of that horrible ordeal. I don' think bullies should be allowed in any place at any time. I think bullying should be handle immediately and not tolerated especially in schools, homes, and placements where kids should feel safe. I promise to not bully anyone ever, can you?

European Union: 3,000,000 (UN-HABITAT 2004)
United Kingdom: 10,459 rough sleepers, 98,750 households in temporary accommodation (Department for Communities and Local Government 2005)
Canada: 150,000 (National Homelessness Initiative - Government of Canada)[131]
Australia: In total, 99,900 people were homeless in 2001
14,200 sleeping rough (In improvised dwellings or tents, or in streets, parks, cars or derelict buildings). 14,300 in emergency or transitional housing. 48,600 were defined as homeless because they were staying with another household and had no usual residence. Finally, 22,900 people living in boarding houses were included in the homeless count. (ABS: 2001 Census)[132]
United States[133]: According to HUD's July 2008 3rd Homeless Assessment Report to Congress, in a single night in January 2007, single point analysis reported to HUD showed there were 671,888 sheltered and unsheltered homeless persons nationwide in the United States.[122] Also, HUD reported the number of chronically homeless people (those with repeated episodes or who have been homeless for long periods, 2007 data) as 123,833.[122] 82% of the homeless are not chronically homeless, and 18% are (6% Chronically Homeless Sheltered, 12% Chronically Homeless Unsheltered). Their Estimate of Sheltered Homeless Persons during a One-Year Period, October 2006 to September 2007, that about 1,589,000 persons used an emergency shelter and/or transitional housing during the 12-month period, which is about 1 in every 200 persons in the United States was in a homeless facility in that time period. Individuals accounted for 1,115,054 or 70.2% and families numbered 473,541 or 29.8%. The number of persons in sheltered households with Children was about 130,968.[122]
Japan: 20,000-100,000 (some figures put it at 200,000-400,000)[134] Reports show that homelessness is on the rise in Japan since the mid-1990s
Resources for homeless people:
HUD
shelters
hands of hope
soup kitchens
cops
welfare
missions
crisis centers
these are my fact and resources on homelessness on my game
