black haired girl really looks like she needs help and needs someone by her side. i hope she finds some stability soon
She also said she wants a mom to make her do things for her..that's messed up
ella I think she more meant that she wants a mother around to help her learn how to do things and so she doesn’t feel like it’s all on her... she wants the support of a mother that she hasn’t received
atlas ASMR that is what i meant, thank you luv.
@@st4rryblossom heyy do you have ig?
lex h. Keep your head up! I felt that when you mentioned having to google everything 🤣
If you’re spending Christmas sitting at a table sharing a warm meal with your family don’t take it for granted.
Thanks
bio family is overrated.
EAmami I know I’m leaving my dad after a month

Sc j having a family made up of people who love and support you is a normal human desire. There isn’t a single person on this planet that wouldn’t want that. You may not want to socialize but that doesn’t mean that you don’t want to be loved by other people. Family is precious, especially when you have a healthy and functional relationship with them. Having a loving family, caring partner and true friends is the greatest gift in life
I’m grateful for the privilege of having understanding parents and a roof over my head.
Jessica Su I wish I had parents like yours sadly I had to cut my own parents off
me too
thank you for being grateful and not bragging at the same time
I just hope you take advantage of your position and actually make something for yourself. I know you are your own person and all but I say that because a lot of my friends who have that familial love and support just work to go on trips and and live a "braggy social media" lifestyle instead of working to get out of their parents house or working to build a debt free career. They're in their mid 20's early 30's and I'm just shook at how blind they are to how good they have it. I unfortunately fall on the other side of the spectrum, where I had to become independent at a very young age and everything I have and own now, is proudly to my name, but when I see young people still living at home because they have that love and support but don't take advantage of it....... that's the biggest waste I know.
My grandma kicked me out
“My mom broke my heart” that is the saddest thing I’ve ever heard
These stories really make you think
What do you think about?
Yeah it does 😔
You don't know what you got until it's gone.
Stephen12396 I thought about clicking off the video
They really do
I hate parents who give up their kids just so they can get remarried or be in a relationship they're the worst kind of people
This is literally my mom. She told my dad that she does not want me anymore and all because of her boyfriend.
Sofia Lepe I’m sorry hunny. Life can be hard. Please try to be strong! Life will go on, be positive and try to have a good support system
my dad did this and now my mom is too and so my grandparents are trying to fix things
My father did that. Had two more kids and everything. Left us to be solely cared for by our mom. Parents that do that shit were never parents to begin with. They don't deserve that kind of respect.
That’s like my dad, We see him once in a while every few months but he chose my homophobic stepmom over me and my sister
I was kicked out for being pregnant, had to let my full ride scholarship go that same day. One word I’d use to describe home would be; safety. I thank my child’s dad for what he’s provided for me since we were teens, 8 years later he’s still here. xx
Anayeli Vianney hope you and your man are doing wonderful❤️
God sent you a wonderful spouse... He sees all before it takes place...BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
Im 14 and my dad kick me out of my room and now im sleeping in a cupboard
That's a good dam man
I have to move in with my boyfriend bc they found I had that with him. I don’t know what to do..I work as a waitress. My dad is coming home from work today. It involves religion,etc. I really need help
"Mom can I go out?"
"No"
"Oh, why not?"
"GET OUT!"
Ollie doesnt make sense
Same with me
Plot twist: I kicked myself out of my mother's house because she's abusive, manipulative and controlling.
I know its not my place to ask but what did she do exactly (i hope i haven't offended you in any way by asking) much love hope your doing well
Same! Best and hardest thing I had to do. I’m finally happy in my own apartment and a good roomie💛

@@kingleothesomethingsomethi285 No worries you're fine😊 My mother has been physically, financially and emotionally abusive to me for 15 years of my life (I'm 27 years old), she was physically present but emotionally absent in my life. My mother accused me of stealing a package she ordered online she even physically attacked me, I had bruises on my face. I immediately left to stay with my sister. Three days later the company informed her that the package was sent to a different address by mistake and I didn't steal anything.
@@kingleothesomethingsomethi285 Right now I'm focusing on improving my life with hard work and education. I suffer from depression so My mental health issues became a million times better after I escaped the abusive relationship I had with my mother.
The dude with red hair seems pretty cool. He was living on the streets doing drugs not in school and now he got his life together worked it out with his father and has a positive attitude.
im happy for where he is now too but his father is abusive. he wanted to teach his son a lesson and upended his whole life, knowing he might not come out the other side alive. is it really possible to have a relationship with someone like that? i wouldn't be able to.
Deatrix he had friends, which i’m sure his father knew. you wouldn’t be able to understand where he’s coming from unless you’ve been in that situation. sometimes you really have to cut a child out so they can heal and grow
Gwyneth Sauvage so I’m assuming you wouldn’t know unless you’ve done that yourself? It’s just my opinion. I don’t care if the dad knew he had friends, life is not guaranteed and to gamble on none other than your child’s life? That’s not love.
Deatrix yes, I, a mere 20 year old girl has kicked out my grown ass child. my sister would be dead if she hadn’t been kicked out and forced to grow up. should my parents have let her continue to smoke and drink and bring friends over who constantly rob us, should they continue to let her cut herself and should I at only 12 years old have to carry her 210 pound body up four flights of stairs and stick my fingers in her mouth trying to get her to throw up whatever she had taken that day.
Gwyneth Sauvage I’m sorry you experienced something like that. I still simply don’t believe that to help a child, parents should react in extremes. You’re talking about miracle cases where it’s for the better, but I’m thinking of the situation before success or failure is known. If your sister failed this conversation would be much different. There are options to exhaust. I can’t accept that someone can abandon another human being and be like “whatever happens, happens.”
This hurts to watch. My parents kicked me out for being bisexual and I’m living in my car but I’m slowly bettering myself. It hurts knowing the people you love don’t love you back for who you are but it’s life. I’ll prosper and become someone one day!
What is your snap? I live in Belgium & I can send some western union to help out? Sorry to hear :( (I'm a guy - gay, so I feel you-)
@@krasi4531 you’re so kind
You are a somebody💕. Please know that things will get better. Take it one day at a time😊
Hi, hope you’re okay :))
I really feel this dude. I was homeless living on the streets for three years from June of 2016 until March of 2019. I went through so much during those three years. Sleeping in doorways until I finally got a tent my last year of homelessness. Being in an abusive relationship just because I couldn't get away from them since we were both homeless. I came across these people that were trying to trade the dog they had for drugs, I ended up buying the dog from them for $5 and before I could ask much about the dog they ran off. The dog was terribly abused, underweight, and covered in fleas. I figured, ok this dog needs to be loved and nursed back to health. The dog grew attached to me quickly. She's a medium sized dog about the size of a terrier, I would hold her at night and she would sleep in my sleeping bag with me and we would sleep with the blankets covering our heads so no one could see her and take her and no one could see that I'm a girl and try to harrass me or harm me in my sleep. Having the dog gave me something to live for, a reason to get up every day, something that depended on me for survival, like having a child. I ended up nursing her back to health. I would take her to the park everyday so she could run around and get comfortable with other dogs. I would panhandle to come up with money to feed her, get her her monthly flea prevention medication, when I didn't have money sometimes I stole dog food and food for myself. Lots of strangers made fun of me, yelled at me, threw food on me, and told me "Why do I have a dog if I can't take care of myself?". The truth is I took better care of the dog than most people who live indoors. My entire live revolved around my dog. And in turn she kept me safe and protected me. Even now that I'm no longer homeless she protects me. My dog will be 4 years old in March (she was a year old when I got her) and I've had her for almost 3 years now. I'm sitting on my bed cuddling her as I write this, I'm so thankful to live indoors, have a home and a wonderful dog to spend Christmas with. All I can say is I'll never forget everything I went through during the time I was homeless. I really hope the rest of these people continue to find wherever home is to them as well. It isn't easy man, sometimes it takes a while to get out of.
God blessed you
contrary to humans, dogs would never leave us. glad everything's okay for you now!
Freaking hate when parents threaten to kick kids out of the house for stuff like religion or choice of partner. It makes me wonder if they thought kids were going to be born as drones with no sense of will or ability to make mistakes.
The thing with mine is, they won’t threaten to make me leave unless we get into really bad arguments and then they try to use that against me for some reason, even tho I pay for my expenses and clean after myself.
But my mom will call people and spread my business or talk about me on Facebook, etc. which is a big reason as to why I’ve not even figured out my sexuality yet because I know it’ll be a problem with them.

Please Cut, help the lady in black. Her words resonate so much. I hear hopelessness and unsureity. Pray she will be OK ❤️
You're right she seemed so scared of the future. I pray that the lord would continue to help the young woman
Yes... She needs someone.
@@jxgreen1985 it says it was published a few days ago?
Which one there's two lady's in black
@@Mexicantajin19 the one with the flower clips in her hair.
I was 20 years old, my girlfriend 4 months pregnant. I had just started working after completing the job corps Plumbing program in my state and luckily the business I applied at hired me right out of the gate. Through hardships and prayer I got up off my thumb we spent 1 night in a motel and I got an apartment the next day by the grace of God and $300 which was all I had. Today we have 2 cars, a healthy baby boy, plasma TV. Everything we thought we couldnt do...we did! Remember not to give up, always find a way for yourself. I didnt get into much detail but my mother had always held a bit of resentment against me for having my baby early but I had good reason, she kicked me out for that reason. I called my grandmother that night and balled my eyes out. My girlfriend stood by my side and continues to this day. God bless you all.
Apaché marry your girlfriend
Next time pull out
Extraordinary but why a plasma?
so do you recommend going to job corps im thinking of dong the same.
@@XxX_65 It made me grow up real quick. Taught me life lessons I didnt learn regularly because I grew up in foster homes and didnt have a dad at all. Definitely worth looking into
That is one of the biggest betrayals a parent can ever do.
Not if your kids being an asshole. If your kid is doing drugs and wont listen no matter what you do they need to get out. If you want to act grown you can sleep in the streets
@@ceeher4619 how does a kid start with drugs? Ever thought bad influence from bad parents are a factor? I mean the reality is that those in the video are all around 18-22 probably, so their parents are probably in their 40s and (as studied) worked more, spent less quality time with children and provided the bare minimum in finances and even less than that in education. Not calling out everyone, but it's literally something you're not counting.
@@xlInYouFace Thats just an excuse my oldest brother turned to drugs myself and my other brother are productive members of society
@@ceeher4619 yea i think you're looking for the excuse not me.
@@xlInYouFace You realize your statement makes no sense right.....?
My friend used to be the idealest kid you would ever meet. He came out to his parents. A straight A student suddenly homeless no relative took him in , no friend was there for him . Heck I didn't even give him anything because I was too scared. He left the town , did prostitution to support his life , now he is a nurse graduate and living his life with his boyfriend. And guess what both of his parents died of cancer and none of their other children came to pay their respects. Now we are friends again. He cries a lot about his past. And there is not enough apologies I could ask him , because of him my parents accepted me. Wish I had taken him home when he was kicked out of his parents house.
Hope Faith you were a bad friend you should never hesitate to help out a true friend even if it’s for a few days.
i hope u two are good now 🙌
Kenni Ishimwe how dare you?? How dare you judge someone for being put in a difficult situation like that. You have no idea what you’d do in that situation. They were a teenager! You’re disgusting for looking down on them. You have no idea the shame someone carries from previous misdeeds. And you have no right to look down on someone for their mistakes. The fact that 37 people read your comment and liked it makes me sick. You’re pathetic
I hope you asked permission to share their story in a cut comments section.
@@kadijahamad9862 still a bad friend imo, a good friend would've instantly jumped in and help or at least offer something rather than literally nothing. but obviously im glad things worked out in the end between the two.

Well,hi.

I don't know the full situation, but from how I see it, it's sad too because the grandparents could have given their 'children' a home in the first place. I could never let my child be homeless, no matter how old they are.

Cut is finding their groove again. Things get copy and paste for awhile, and I enjoyed that too, but they're finding new people and new problems and capturing raw emotion and honesty. It's painfully beautiful.
I agree letting out emotions in a healthy environment is good cut needs to make more like these
my mother lost the flat where we lived when I was 18. I decided not to live with her again. She was not the mother I needed, at all. She was often angry because "I stole her life". I was a good daughter. I was never drunk or mean, because my mother scared me, I had great grades at school and didn't break the rules by purpose. My father is dead since I was 14. Since I was 19 I have no contact to anyone related. But I have now a peaceful home, with two cats and my longtime Boyfriend (maybe husband soon :) ). We have normal problems and it's far from perfect. But I am very grateful to have a cosy home now. "I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become" by Carl Gustav Jung.

Coming from a family just like these, people will never understand how insulting it is to be told that you can pull yourself up by your bootstraps. If your parents gave up on you before you had a chance to create your own life then you weren't even born with boots to grab onto!!!
I was homeless for almost two years and i would always meet people online and travel around my country to have a place to sleep, sometimes I kind of miss the long night bus rides. Now I finally have a little apartment with my partner and I'm happy to say I'm finally home for the holidays.

Yeah me too. I'm so glad that he was able to grow as a person and realize his mistakes and take responsibility for them. I guess me Faith in humanity.
Please bring them back a year from now. I hope they'll be doing better. Especially the black haired girl. I feel for her.
In all honesty , with this global pandemic , she's either on the streets or about to be thrown onto the streets. Poor kid.
The girl with dark hair and flowers seems so lost and vulnerable, I'm literally looking at her and seeing a lost little girl. Its sad she has no one or no guidance, i prey she's OK and is staying strong. Sending out a prayer ❤
It’s so hard to come from a broken home. I’m still dealing with the pain 15 years later. Holidays are the fucking worst. But it gets better. Friends. Good people. They are out there.
Natalie Alam *SIGHSSS*😪💔
It just goes to show how anyone can end up homeless. We need to be kinder to each other, homeless doesn’t mean anything inherently bad. It can happen to anyone.
😉😇🙏
i have no idea why people did that to their children. I mean you gotta let them learn the lessons but ask them to move out in their teenage is too much. Asking children to move out is not a common thing in asia. Really feel bad for them 😢
You have to let them fall if you want to see them stand. My problem with this is that their parents didn't equip them enough to be out in the world to fend for themselves. Not one of them took that hardship and persevere to become better off than their parents without their help.
@@michaelbanks1000 it's extremely hard to persevere if you're even too young to drive a car, let alone get and keep a job at a fair wage so you can pay for food and rent. Kicking teens out without any skills or resources is setting them up to fail, they didn't choose this life.
My parents divorced when I was 2 in Canada, due to my mom cheating on my father. My mom and dad left me in Hong Kong to my babysitter for the next about 10 years. When I was 12 ish I moved back to Canada, it was the first time that I meet my old brothers. Asian parents don't ask you to move out but adultery destroys the family.
@@TattedTentacle it's hard to persevere but if you don't then you only keep yourself in the dirt.
I got kicked out because I fought a lot with my dad I broke his nose and two rips in a fight then he kicked me out he gave me the option either jail cause of assault or kicked out
"i LOVED her"
that d makes such a difference
This just goes to show even if you think you have it rough, there’s always someone who has it worse. Helps to be more appreciative of just being alive.
my mother, siblings and I were forced out by our dad for only 4 days and I cannot even imagine what it would be like to have to do that for longer than that. I feel so much for some of these ppl 🥺
James Miles my cousins are in the same situation but he isn't calling them back & it's my aunt who is paying the rent

Yes omgg
This really makes me think about how I wouldn’t survive a day without my parents
my mother abandoned me many times. every time i went to live with my dad, but after he got married, and his wife always fought with me for futile things, he sided with her after a
big fight, and I ended up being kicked out of the house. I slept on the street for 4 days, until I managed to stay at my aunt's house. since that day i haven't talked to my dad, and i don't talk to my mom anymore. I couldn't stay at my aunt's house for long,
only until I find somewhere for me. I did it after 2 months and today I live alone.
What a thoughtful video for such a important day where we take family and homes for granted.
You always find a way to make it about yourself don't you Max?
Michael Koech 😘
the lady in black seems depressive and hopeless, I'm worried about her
I was 16 when my mom kicked me out. I remember sitting on a very small suitcase at the end of my dirt road with tears in my eyes knowing I’d never be back. Only place I’d ever known and my life there was over. Thankfully I called someone who told me if I ever needed anything to call her. She took me in and helped me battle my mom through court and get free of her control. I was on probation (for a marijuana possession charge) when she kicked me out and it was forcing my probation officer to send me away to a program jail facility far away. I really had no family or good friends who would do for me, they only used me when I could supply. Ever since I made the call to who is now my wife. I have never been HOMEless since. We have a family and are doing great. There is always hope even when you can’t see the light at the end of the dark tunnel. Stay positive going into 2020 everyone. ❤️🙏
my brothers friend is staying with us since uni is over for the holidays and she has nowhere to go really, it’s always important to be nice and inclusive and you can never know someone’s full story so just be a kind person it really does make the world better.
Had it not been for my friend's family I would have been homeless and had to drop out of college. I lived with them for almost 3 years and graduated with my degree this past May and now I work in my field of study and have gained a 2nd family who I love dearly. You have no idea how special it is to that girl to have your family open your home to her😭 this makes my heart happy!

@@flora5606 Thank you so much and you deserve all the happiness life has to offer as well😊💕
my parents kicked me out in june this year because i got them reported for verbally abusing the children they were fostering. this is my first christmas without immediate family. i luckily have my boyfriend and his family to have holidays with. but aside from that i’m struggling to save money, get a car, or a place to live. my job cut my hours drastically and i keep getting denied for jobs i apply for. things are really rough right now. this video made me feel less alone.

Although it ended with you getting kicked out, I want you to know in the end you did the right thing by reporting them. I am so sorry you had to go through this.
Swaine thank you, i appreciate that
How is your resume? Most important thing is your resume. How are you in interviews? Outspoken? Quiet?
I hope you get through everything you're going through and I hope, in the end, you come out of this feeling safe and stable.
'Home'... Geez, such a difficult word. I was kicked out at 16 so that would be a full decade ago. I still attended school, lugging my books in one backpack while I hid my duffle bag of clothes in my locker during the school hours. I used the gym showers and ate the school lunch and maintained my dignity as best I could with what little I had. It was after hours when the reality set in. I would wander the streets for a time, collecting coins at the 24h laundry mat and completing my assignments as well as the assignments of others who would pay me. Oftentimes I shopped at the Dollar tree for dollar toothpaste, canned ravioli and tuna, and whatever else I could afford. At around 10pm, I'd camp in either the park or the bus stops. There was always Georgy, another homeless, though he was 50 or so then, that would frequent the bus stops. He was kind, taught me how to survive winter if I got caught out in the cold. He was a conversationalist too. One day he asked me, "Why are you here?" I didn't know what to say. My pride prevented me from saying it was a misunderstanding, that I was only holding coke for a friend, who turned out to only deal with me when he needed me. I couldn't tell him I wasn't going back because I hated her for kicking me out and I felt stupid for it. At times, mom would look for me in class and tell me to come back home during her breaks. I'd always respond with, "Do you really want a criminal to live with you and Jordan?" I think that would hurt her and she's the type to turn sadness into anger. So we'd argue in the hallway until her break was over. Another time she called the cops and reported me a runaway. Numerous occasions I would be lectured and brought back to my mom's. The cycle repeated until one day I decided at 18 to leave. That was a huge conflict because my mom just wanted the best for me but I held on to that stupid grudge. I left for Texas, knowing no one and with only 300 bucks to my name. I picked up a job as a cashier in Walmart and attended a trade school as a mechanic. After a year I started working in a shop full time thanks to a few connections. Then I started going to community college part time studying whatever I could with no real major in mind. I built my credit and bought a house this year but it's pretty empty inside. I don't really feel like it's home here... So yeah. What a difficult word.
First off, wow. Second of all, I think the best thing that could happen now would be finding a partner. I hope you can make it :)
I came to Texas homeless too and made it to a great job and my own place. I understand the journey, stay up and be good to people then th right ones will find you.
You’ve gotten so far on your own and at such a young age, you are a strong-willed individual and you’ll do amazing things I’m sure of it. What I advise you do is focus on your mental health because I feel like your past is weighing you down a lot, maybe look into speaking to a psychologist. Once you process all of what’s happened to you by talking about it to a professional, you will feel better and then you might actually start to believe you’re deserving of a “home”. Best of luck x
I hope black-haired girl really gets the stability and love she deserves
i related to these guys.. i grew up in a abusive family and neighborhood who buillied me a lot since i was a kid. i left my house at 17 and put myself through college and hours of extra working to make ends meet, all by myself. it's been 10 yrs now, and they never called me asking how i'm doing. unless if they need money
man.. i really wanna experienced what real family feels like..
God her nose is exactly like cardi b's
And lips
Shruthi Iniya I was looking for a comment saying she favors cardi. She really resembles her lol
Eyes too
Shruthi Iniya she look like herrr
EXACTLY
I relate to the blonde girl 100% and it's a shame that I even relate to something so shitty. My mom abandoned me for a man when I was in high school and I lived with my grandmother and it really shook my world. I've grown a lot as a person (I go to therapy), but there's still an internalized thought that I could be abandoned at any moment so I don't allow myself to depend on anyone completely.
My mom is family biologically , but my friends have really been there for me and they're family ❤️
KangarooBackpack sorry to hear that, must of been very hard dealing with that and im sure you still are i wish you the best in life
The girl with the purple shirt and the 4 flowers is so GORGEOUS 😭
Where do y’all find these friends... literally God forbid anything happened to my family I have zero friends who would care enough to take me in. Outside of my boyfriend everyone is so flakey and fake I just have no idea why I live here
iguana girl yeah I have zero friends also I’m in the same situation as you
Same I'm more lonelier than any twig with no lie funny like come on these people are lucky I have no friends
I volunteer at a youth shelter in Seattle. A lot of these people are stuck in toxic situations where they had to leave and can’t get the support they need; homelessness can happen to anyone. Media isolates homelessness as an unrelatable situation that we should look down up, misconstruing that all are lazy and drug addicts. this video goes to show that there are endless different reasons to why someone could be homeless.. a little kindness goes a long way. Be kind & Merry Christmas !
You are a beautiful soul ❤❤❤
Beautifully said! Wish more people thought like you.
I would NEVER do that to my children.
Psycho Bitch sure lol
Sure
Sure
What if they never listen to you? Abuse you? Do drugs? Take advantage of you?
@@genericchannel126 No I would not. I would find other solutions, do everything that I can till my last breath. What does it mean to me if I leave them on the street, alone ? Of course like these people they can learn and come back having understood. But they can happen to them terrible things. I hope nothing is going to happened that I have to just have this thought.
If you give birth to a beautiful new life and leave it on the street to die, something is seriously wrong with you. My heart goes out to these people. Unconditional love means til death do us part. That’s true love.
The saddest thing a daughter or son could ever say is "my mother/father broke my heart" ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Im 19 and I haven't lived with my family for 4 years , I always feel shit around this time of year and its good to know that im not alone in my situation
@Headas Snigga LMFAOOOO u right though
Damn it hurting me so much when she said: My mother broke my heart, I loved her so much. To lose your mum that way must be the hardest thing to go through - especially as a child. Bless her soul
"At the end of the day if you hurt somebody and they still show love to you, I believe that's family"
That's a beautiful definition man.
This moved me, I felt this. It's hard growing up all at once when you're not ready; Thinking you are ready. Props to them. Much respect.
It's like Cut knows that i just moved out of my home 7 days ago. My mother threatened me everyday to kick me out and that she wouldn't care if i have to sleep on the streets or if i die out there or she would throw stuff at me for no reason. (For example she threw a watch in my eyes once because i didn't wear it everyday)
So last week i decided to not go home anymore and it was the best decision i've ever made. I already have a new home and i was able to sleep at a friends house for 1 week and yesterday i moved in my new home. I still have to think of a way how i'm going to get all of my stuff that i left at my mothers house.
Now i don't have to worry about my mother hurting me or yelling at me everyday. The only downside at the moment is that i get a little bit sad when i see other people celebrate christmas with their family.
Jordan C stay strong💪!
Jordan C omg ;-; that was really brave of you. Such a strong person ❤️
Jordan C remember that being away from ur life is 10x better than being with an abusive one💗 wish u all the best, never give up!💖
@@user-my8qj thanks and trust me, i won't. i already ordered stuff for my new room ^^ because i wasn't allowed to buy anything for my old room because of my mom.
What kind of job do you have? My mother hasn't thrown things at me but she says all the time that my time is up and that I need to go and she doesn't talk to me since the new year started out of nowhere. I just don't want to be on the streets with my dog
The girl with black hairs looks like cardib
Uhm no
these parents should have never had any children. kicking them out is like your sending them to die like what don't they understand. glad these guys had support and were strong to make it out
One of the best cut videos. Heartbreaking yet inspiring at the same time. Thank you for this! Nothing but love xx
Meanwhile I'm trying desperately to move out. My mom had me late and I'm the last child, and she is trying everything she can to keep me at home. I kind of appreciate it, as a college student, since it's really not practical to move out and go to school full-time and live a decent life...
Thanks mom.
Shadow Fox you’ll be fine! If you’re ready to move out, you’ll be okay and I’m sure your mom will understand. Sound like your mom loves you a lot :)
Shadow Fox get out of there as fast as possible. It will make you a stronger person in the future
Stay with her. You would save a lot. I’m broke now because the rent is so expensive.
You are an adult. If you want out you can. You choose to stay comfortable while going to college which is fine but I wouldnt say sarcasticly "thanks mom". Those people were forced out as teen.
Edit : I just hope I misunderstood and you weren't sarcastic.
I really don't understand parents who kick someone out as a teen, like, I understand that being a parent is really hard and you make mistakes but dude... if your kid is behaving in a dangerous, irresponsible or self destructive way, maybe you should do some parenting since that's your freaking job.... Your problem kid is not a problem kid, your problem kid has problems you haven't given them tools to handle and navigate.
If they're "misbehaving" they're probably even more hurt and confused and lost than you, you're the adult here act like one.
Yes exactly it is their job to pair it. But what if they have other children and like those other people that are dealing with drugs you don't know if they're dealing with very dangerous people they could possibly put their siblings in danger. What else would they be able to do besides put them in prison or juvie.
@@RexTheDinosaur1 I totally understand that if they're a danger to the safety and well-being of other ppl in your family you need to take immediate action and maybe make some extreme decisions, however, I don't think it's a very good choice to kick a minor out and let them fend for themselves with nowhere to go and no support, specially at such a formative time in their life.
Besides, if your teen reaches a point so extreme, you've probably haven't been there for them as a parent for a while because that isn't an attitude problem that happens out of nowhere and overnight. Again, I know being a parent is really hard, some things you cant control, and we're human but dude... some parents just confuse my brain
I remember reading a post from a mother on twitter that said "the second your child walks out the door is when you have failed as a parent".
My second year in college I was told not to return home when the dorms closed for the summer. If it weren’t for my friends family taking me in that summer would have been scary. When the blond girl said her mom broke her heart I felt that completely. My relationship with my mom has never been the same but I do try my best to work on it with her.
I have so much respect for every single one of these individuals. They grew up in difficult circumstances (homelessness and abandonment) and yet still had it in them to get up every morning. I can't even imagine how tough their situations were or are. Very inspirational.
Home is wherever you find peace and love.
3:25 i really liked that the cop didn’t judge him and told him to not give up.
This hit hard because I was completely alone once I turned 18. I’m now 22 but in the last 4 years I’ve been homeless 3-4 times living in my car and bouncing between jobs. Although I’m not technically “homeless” I still don’t have a safe space to be relaxed and unwind and that’s one of the hardest things for me right now. I’m praying 2020 will change my life for the better 😭💔
Savannah, may 2020 be the best year for you and I pray that you have a good place to live as soon as possible.
It’s crazy to hear these stories that I can high key relate to. It’s really nice to know I’m not alone in my struggles.
When he said “my grandma” I felt that to the deepest parts of my soul... she’s gone now but man do I wish she was still here
I like that the moral wasn’t stated explicitly, it made me understand it more gradually and more profoundly as I sit in my warm room with my brother next to me and my parents and grandparents in the other room.
The testament to human resilience is another theme I appreciate, especially when confusing and dark times are ahead
Why did I start getting emotional when he talked about the bridge? 😕
This touched my heart and the guy who understood how his dad felt... It takes a lot of courage to admit that you were wrong and sometimes we see only what we want to see but I'm grateful for my mother and what she's done for me
Everyone questioning the cardi b girl when the Boy in the Baseball shirt is so precious. I love them, and want to hug em✨💕
I doubt that he's a male especially when he said his grandparents kicked him for having affair with a girl.Probably because of lesbian relationship?
Ne Var Ne Yok ? ... what
I love it how the big guy recognised his mistakes, got his shit together and now has a good relationship with his father and is so appreciative of his friends.Also he went back to school and got his life on track, takes balls.
The black haired girl really needs someone by her side, it’s hard to be and to feel constantly alone.
These stories are so sad, they really make you think.
It breaks my heart realizing how much i can relate to them but at the same time it gives me hope.
I can't imagine ever throwing my kids out. My girls and I have been through so much, they're the most important people in the world to me.
i’m proud of you daniel for sharing your story, you’re strong i love you big brother💛
My heart goes out to all of them. Because I’m going through rough times as well. Each story touched me, especially the boy with the Yankees jacket. ❤️ It’s nice to know there are people who go through the same thing as you, & it’s inspiring to know you can rise above it all. This was a nice Christmas vid. I love the message
Watching these people I just wanted to give them a hug. I can see that some of them need that hug just to relaxe and think of comfort. They deserve to be happy. Always.
As a 18 year old I didn’t exactly go through the same things these people went through, but I did do bad in high school. Then after watching this I hope to improve now in community college and improve in life.
when the girl said her dad put his head down and shut the door my heart broke a little
"You can't go out"
"Why?"
"You're disrespectful, get out"
"Uh... okay... so can I go out or na?"
so glad to see this here. I experienced similar things as the people in this video, and its relieving to know i’m not alone. I spent the holidays with my boyfriend and his mom. I am so thankful for not only having a place to stay, but also to be able to call someplace home.
Bro this video made me cry so fucking much. Videos like these really make your grateful for the things that are around you and friends and family that support you.
