Why This Japanese Girl Became Homeless

Maybe you feel really weird when you hear this, because Japan seems really wealthy overall. And they say the standard of living here is really high compared to other Asian countries. So what the hell am I talking about? Japan must be far away from poverty, right? It may be true in many aspects, but it's definitely not so great for everyone. Even though this has been an issue for decades, still not taken so seriously. Recently, however, it has finally come to the surface, and some people are really working hard on that. But the situation is getting worse. More and more people, even young people, are becoming homeless. And it's getting more and more serious issue. Now, maybe she doesn't look homeless at all, but it's actually true, unfortunately. She has been homeless in Japan. Let's find out why. What happened to her? When I was in kindergarten, I used to get kicked out of my house. I've been homeless for 25 years now. My parents were very short-tempered and hysterical. I told the police that I was homeless. I told the police dozens of times. In front of the police, my parents were like, I didn't do anything. Where did you go? Since then, I've become more and more homeless. I couldn't get along with my parents here, so I couldn't go to the orphanage. There were too many people, and I was being kicked out. I thought, I can still work, right? And there was a place in Shinjuku where I could get help. I don't know if it's called N.P.Houjin, but it's like some kind of N.P.Houjin. But only teenagers can go in there, so I couldn't. Do you still keep in touch with your parents? I don't know their contact information. I don't know them at all. I don't know my relatives at all. I don't know my grandparents either. What kind of life do you live now? Now, I sleep on the spiral staircase or in the park's public toilet. I'm always sleeping like this. I don't know. I can't sleep. How long do you sleep in your life? I sleep about 2 hours a day. 2 hours? 2 hours. Is your diet okay? I eat bananas. That's all? That's all. Is that enough? I think it's enough. It's good to eat protein and fish sometimes, isn't it? Yes, I think so. I think so. Maybe that's why I'm still alive. What do you want to eat in Matsuya? I want to eat beef bowl in Matsuya. That's delicious. I want to eat low-carb food. The miso soup in Matsuya is delicious, isn't it? It's delicious. Obviously, the virus is a big reason. But it's not the only reason. The reason is not only about job. If you lose your job, you can't live a normal life. You can rely on your family. You can rely on your partner. If you have a human support, you can live a normal life. I've ever heard that. I think there are a lot of violence and problems in our human society. I think there's a lot of violence and problems You'll meet many people who can't live a normal life. You'll meet many people But parents of young people don't get a high income than younger generations. I don't have a lot of support, so I don't think I can support the lives of my children and grandchildren. The number of people working in the non-governmental organizations has increased, and it is difficult to support the non-governmental organizations. In addition, I think it is bad that the support of families and blood relations is less expected in Japanese society compared to the past. There are a lot of young homeless children around me, and they are hiding. For example, they got their ID card in the same school. The family environment is big. I think there are a lot of Japanese children who are hiding. I was able to realize that I had a developmental disability. I think it's different. I didn't have many friends. I couldn't get along with my friends. I often hurt my friends by being blunt in conversation. I think I was bullied. I like to eat bento in the bathroom. I was working part-time at a bar or karaoke. I was fired a lot in a day. I do what I'm told not to do. I was told not to drop the plate. I dropped the plate. I broke the plate. I was working at a DVD store. I broke the DVD. I'm sorry. I was forced to quit. I didn't want to quit. I'm sorry for today. Did you get a license? I didn't get a license. I didn't get my name or mask. The only person I have a address to. I'm a scared person. I've only ever been in a car. I don't want to come home. I'm a scared person. I thought I was a housewoman. I did it for a moment. I thought it wouldn't suit me. I think it's a really important thing to do I think you'll only get it for a short period of time I put that out there I don't think it's a job for me I think that's great No matter how hard you try, if you don't get the job If I don't get the job Then I think I'd be mentally destroyed Did you have a boyfriend? Or any relationships? I did have a boyfriend He helped me get through the hard times I know I'm being rude There was a time when I was able to quit being homeless, but I had to leave the country. I had to leave the country, and I was homeless again. That's why I think it's better to be independent. In Canada, the amount of money that is spent on children in advanced social welfare countries is so much that I don't care about it at all. I want to be able to say that I have a right to be independent. I'm a bad kid, so I feel guilty about myself and lose confidence. Then I can't make a good relationship with my friends. I think everyone hates me, so I become a bad kid. When I become a bad kid, I lose the motivation to live positively. I want to commit suicide. I have a lot of influences such as list cuts. I think it's unfair to take care of children in the country or people with a bad impression of the host. What kind of advice do you want to hear? I want you to do your best to survive no matter how much you are kicked out of the hospital. I don't think it's a good idea to die. I'm mentally weak. I'm mentally weak, but I don't think I'll lose. I think I'll be happy someday. What are your plans for the future? I have two goals. The first is to live with my cat. I have a cat now. My first goal is to live with my cat. My second goal is to help homeless people like me. I think it's hard.
