Homeless and Houseless all the time can have disadvantages about their problems and why they decide to sleep on the streets or simple that some of them do not have a place to live but everything a big percentage of people that live on the streets can have some problems with their mind because their own reasons and I can support in the next phrase according to (Sacred Heard
Mission, 2014) made, show that the relationship between mental health difficulties, the social disadvantages, and traumas, presents a strong correlation.

Homeless Vs Houseless
We often
confuse these words as if they had the same meaning or they connoted the same;
which of course is a clear misconception.
Defining
the two words as simple as it can be is the best way to describe the
differences between both concepts:
Homeless:
“You may be homeless if you live in unsuitable
housing, don't have rights to stay where you are or you're sleeping rough, even
with a roof over your head you can still be homeless” (Shelter,
2016)
Houseless:
“The effects of houselessness stretch beyond a
lack of somewhere to sleep at night. Houselessness means facing constant stigma
and judgement. It means not having reliable access to a bathroom. It also means
being criminalized for exercising human rights.” (Montufar, 2017)
Now that
the concepts are out there we can confirm that they’re different terms; being
houseless doesn’t mean your homeless or the other way around. When you’re a
homeless person; you may not have a family or an actual place to call home
however when you are a houseless you have no physical place to stay but you may
still count with your family. Being
homeless has a deeper emotional sid often unseen.

Why the definition of homelessness
matters?
According with (House of Commons, 2005): ‘’The United
Nations International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights
establishes the right of every person to have “an adequate standard of living,
including adequate food, clothing and housing”
This is one of the most important
establishments that we have as humans, and I agree with that because people
need to have a good way of life it’s really hard to see people on streets that
don’t have food or a house for live, when we need to take that establishment,
of living in an appropriate way, as a priority every day for the rest of our
life.
One of the biggest
characteristics of a homelessness is that this people, like their name say,
lack if home, and to have a home means, a family, people that give you love and
are there to help in your problems or things like that, but they don’t have
this, they are alone in the streets and feel a lot of insecure, they live
afraid. And is our responsibility to help those people, I know that the
economical situation is difficult nowadays, but the money is not always
important, and the homelessness teach us that, they will be happier if we give
them tools to fight with life, and talk about their problems and help them to
solve their life, that’s our biggest gift. Source: Sánchez, J. (2017)

Runaways is the most
important problem the biggest representation of human behaviour, the popular
characteristic in this problem is that people that have this problem leave
their house but before they leave their house they think in many facts that can
help them to survive in a new environment without any adult because sometimes
they think that when they are with adults the problems are bigger than any
other and Throwaways is the action that the worst people do to their sons or
family this action is when any person of the family say to other that must
leave the house The human errors that this actions make are really dangerous
because the people that do this action increase the percentage of violence and
death of Young people and only because their feelings to this people or their
problems not permit what they are doing the problems that they are causing to
the social life to the social environment
Runaway is one of the most important
problem in this century because here exist many facts, for example one of the
most relevant action that this problem has is when the people feel alone or
have problems with their family but the idea with this facts is when you see
somebody that everytime stay alone they can be a runaway because in any moment
of their life they say ok i do not have Friends and my family does not care me
the better opcion that i have is leave my house and find a new life a new
change but something that they do not know is that in the streets the danger is
there.

What about the family?
How is the family
affected by this phenomenon of children running away from home? When you are
concern for a certain issue…there is always too many stories to tell about that
issue; as for example what happens to a family after a child has escaped home.
Of course the
conditions are not the same neither for the families of runaways or
thrownaways.
Since they both are so
different the reactions of the families are going to be as well different.
For once you have the runaways’
families; after the incident and assuming they are good parents then they’re
most likely worry for their child not coming home. Where did he or she go? Why
did he or she go? And more importantly where is he or she now? They will
probably report that to the police and be worrying sick until their child
return home.
And then there are the
thrownaways who are probably not going to be reported to the police, and whose
families are almost certainly not worried about why they are not home since
they may have been the one to kick them out or force them to leave.

Psycological side of
runaways and thrownaways
What makes a teenager
escape from home? There are plenty of factors that can in fact drag a young
person toward this road however let’s just focus on the psychological side
involve.
If you’re a runaway
then the problem probably lies on misunderstanding which comes from
miscommunication. Often when children start growing up the bond with their
parents starts to weaken a little and so many things are left unsay, and of
course leaving things for later isn’t exactly the best strategy. The results
are those feelings of mistrust and misunderstandment that lead the child to run
away, and the solution could have been as simple as talking.
If you’re a thrownaway
is most likely that your decision isn’t totally wrong, since “Trauma in general
is associated with homelessness in youth.” (Putt, 2014)
Which means that your family situation wasn’t the best with this due to the
economy, a conflict between the members of the family among others far worse.
The solution may not be as simple as talking, and you should probably as for
help.
So by all means there
is a problem in each case, just in a different spectrum.

Real Story: Evan Lafortune.
In this video you are going to be able to know the story of Evan Lafortune, He is a trans boy that was forced to thrownaway his home, because his parents didn't accept him the way he is, so he went from his grandparents, but they abused him verbally, so he decided to ran away, this case show us that even if you want to stay with your family, you can't continue doing it because it hurts you, and little by little you won't have more options that leave them.

The
person that wants to runaway take the decision to escaped out of their home, they
are not forced to do it, but they feel that they need to go out of their homes.
According with (Cambridge English, 2013): ‘’someone who has
escaped or run away from somewhere’’. But that no means that they know where
they are going to go, because many of them life in the streets or in another
unsafety place.
What is a THRONAWAY?
There is an
important difference between a Runaway and Thrownaway, because the thrownaways,
don’t decide to take the decision to go out of their homes, like (Hammer, Finkelhor, & Sedlack, 2002) say: ‘’the
concept of thrownaway youth to characterize young people who were forced out of
their homes or were refused permission to return’’. They are forced to go out,
by their parents or their adoptive family and they don’t have the option to
return again.
