D: what do you do when you see a homeless person on the streets begging for money?
E: I never really give them money because I don't want to contribute to their addictions.
D: homeless youth can easily become involved with drugs and prostitution. Do you do anything to help them?
E:I usually ask them if they want some food and then give them something to eat. I figure that if they're homeless, they're probably hungry.
D: that's a good idea. Do they usually accept the food?
E: almost always. However, sometimes they get mad at me for not giving them any cash.
D: it's sad how more and more young people are sleeping on the streets in London now.
E: the cost of living in London is just too high for most people.
D: it's true. The economy is in a bit of mess at the moment.
E: did you know that few people can pay the rent on minimum wage, let alone pay for food and other living costs?
D: there just isn't enough affordable housing to go around. If only the housing cost would drop, fewer people would be in financial trouble.
E: added to that is the high unemployment rate right now.
D: something's got to change---and it's got to happen soon.
E: politicians like to ignore the problems of the working class. They like to focus on making life easier for the upper class.
D: I can only hope that one day they will change.
