Question by Karie W: Can someone please edit my essay on homelessness?
When I work with people who have been homeless, I truly understand what they are going through. I have experienced being homeless to some point in my life for over a year.

Homeless does not necessarily mean living on the streets. Sleeping on the couch at a friends house because you lost your apartment, doubling up and living with family in crowded quarters until you can find a place, sleeping in cars, under bridges, and at a homeless shelters are considered homelessness. Some people are driven into homelessness as a result of cost of living outweighing personal income or due to loss of a job. More and more individuals that are homeless are woman and children.

Question by Adam: Have A Question Regarding Suicide…Please Respond?
I was wondering how effective it would be for a person to commit suicide with a handgun/pistol. I have a .32 ACP Caliber Derringer pistol.

Where on the body are the most effective places to shoot and kill yourself? Does anyone actually have family members who committed suicide using guns/pistols? I’m not suicidal, just curious. Please respond. Thanks……
