My Team would like to know what teens are most affected by homelessness , we feel as though this would be a good research questions because  our film is based on homeless teens and it wouldn't feel right without knowing which teens are  most affected . we would like to incorporate this in our film one way or another. we would also like to research this question to raise awareness on whats going on in young teens lives and to also be the voice for these teens  

 In the article i learned that 42% of homeless youth are LGBT , these teens are singled out and forced to move out of their homes because of their sexualities. A couple of the teens that spoke out to the newspaper , talked about how they came out to their parents ans the struggles of not being excepted by their families but also their families. One  kid talked about how his mom died when he was 12 years old and  his step father didn't except him as a transgender so while he was at school his step father packed up all their things and moved to Puerto Rico without him knowing.

The question I will be researching is what teens are most affected by homelessness , in the Huffington post I found out that most teens that are affected by homelessness are LGBT ( Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender ). These teens are mostly kicked out of there homes because of being who they are sexually.
