Hangout Spot needed in the Community

Hangout Spot needed in the Community

Keisha Wiseman, Contributor

Do you wish there was a place where you could get away from all your problems for 24 to 48 hours, where you do not have to worry about anything: such as food, water, shelter, or even transportation? 

 

Everyone like teenage and adults are welcomed to deserves to have a safe space where they can relax their minds, and not have to worry about some of their problems. A place where it is fully furnished, talk to someone, and make friends, that are probably going through the same thing everyone else is.

 

I feel like we need a hangout spot in our community for someone has had a fight with their friends or family and they need to get away to relax their minds. This is a better alternative then being on the streets, doing drugs, or even suicides. 

 

First off, there are approximately 553,742 people that are living homeless on the streets in America right now. Now, there are 32 million people doing drugs in America. Finally there is approximently 45,979 deaths that are caused by suicides in all of America. These numbers increase daily (even every hour). 

 

This is just another reason why we should have a hangout spot in our community.  It will decrease people living on the streets, doing drugs, and it will help them to calm their minds so they can focus on their mental health. This hangout spot in our community will allow everyone to have someone to talk to that are probably experiencing the same things others might be experiencing as well.

Adults and teenagers deserve to take a mental health break where they do not have to worry about anything for 24 to 48 hours.
