Off-topic, but we need a new plague. Or lots of mass-murderers. Or all of humanity to be wiped out.

Why do you say that?

Just a bunch people pissing me off. I wish I could grind their bones into a fine powder and then bake them into a cake sometimes.

Titus Andronicus?

Off topic but I…. I'm gonna be homeless soon and I need advice.

Advice about being homeless? What do you want to know?

I need to know what I should have with me, the best places to stay, any advice you have. I'm a teen, I can't vote, and I'm not old enough to drive. I look a little older than I am though, so it's a bit of a plus. I love between Kalamazoo and Battle Creek in Michigan, so if any of you are in the area and know if services I can get please tell me!

I'm not an expert, of course.
But I would say take what you need to keep warm, what you need to sleep well that isn't hugely bulky, obviously prioritise what's filling in terms of food (juice boxes are actually really good) and then as much money as you can. I don't know what the circumstances for this are, though, so as far as I know you have enough money. Take some things for comfort, it's surprisingly useful, and then obviously spare clothes and shoes and an umbrella? And a sunhat/glasses

That's what I would take

And a flashlight, solar powered ideally

Maybe matches. Try to fit it into a backpack or at least something portable and easy to carry

I'm broke. I have like, ten dollars max and I don't feel like stealing from people.

Make sure you bring an emergency kit of some sort.

Okay, definitely try and look up and see if there are any homeless shelters in the area! When I was homeless there was a selection of homeless shelters, but I don't know about Michigan. Try and pack as much food as you can beforehand and put it in a backpack or something. And if you do bring a backpack: NEVER LET IT LEAVE YOUR SIDE. EVER. Pack water, pack whatever you can. But essentials first.

Okay.

I don't know how old you are. If you're old enough, get a job. If you're not, I'm sure there are people who wouldn't mind paying you or giving you food if you do some tasks for them.

Okay. So, like I said, juice boxes are really good cause they have food elements as well as liquid. Almonds are very filling as well. I'm not too sure about protein, maybe jerky, since it's dried? Get some sugar as well, quick and slow, so for example candy and bread, and obviously as much water as possible

That's a good point. Do what you can to get some support

But also, seriously, practical is important but make sure you have some comfort. Maybe a picture of someone, a book, teddy bear, blanket… Something. I know it seems useless but you need something to keep your spirits high

I'm like, fifteen and I can only do sixth grade level math. Im a highscooler, I should be able to do better! But basically I just… can't do much. I have very few marketable skills except female biology, if you get my drift, and that's another thing I'm not up for. EVER.

^^^ Definitely pack at least one thing that can cheer you up a bit

No of course! But, like, maybe walk some dogs or run some errands. Something basic but that gets you money

Thanks. I will totally take that advice, you're all helping so much!

Will you have a phone or something?

You don't need math to work at McDonald's though, right? Any money is better than none. Try not to discouraged, as hard as that may be. If you need any motivation or help you can talk to me or literally anyone on this site, okay? Sending love and support your way uwu

Will you have a phone or something?

I don't own a phone but I could probs save up for one?

I'm totally here for you whenever you need, I don't sleep a lot and I'm on holiday right now, so send me a message if you ever need anything. I'll help.

Thank you.

My thought is that it's not necessary, there are street phones, library computers… You could use the money

I do have a tablet though, and McDonald's has free wifi. I could just get a free water and charge up my device as I need to.

Sorry if my questions and advice are really vague and unhelpful, I'm just trying to understand the situation as best as possible
