outline

I. why homeless want to stay homeless

II. why they dont go to shelters
1. its safer then going to a shelter where they could get hurt or get sick
2. dont like sharing a room with some one they dont know.
3. the shelter could be religious and not be the same religion as they are.

III. personal reasons
1. could have a drug problem.
2. they dont like being told what to do and when to do it (like having a bed time at the shelters.)
3. their pets are close to them and shelters wont let the pets stay.

ulifeline and Alcoholscreening

ulifeline.org
I took the self evaluation test and i feel it didn't do much for me because i have nothing to fix about my social skills really. the questions where focused around if you feel uncomfortable in large groups and it you hate being the center of attention. in the questions i answered that i get nervous when i have to do a speech but that was all the test could pick out about me.

Alcoholscreening.org
this test was hard to take since there was no option to say "no i don't drink". i do not drink, i find no reason why i would want to. on the test the questions where how many drinks do you normaly have in a week and it gave you 1-10 number options, but not a "0". so i couldn't finish the test truthfully because my answer was not an option.

both of these tests would be very helpful for people that do need help and want to fix their life. and i no people that would fully benefit from these tests.
