Park Bench and Learning Disability

: For instance, a young boy disclosing to his family that he is homosexual leads to him being kicked out; a new young immigrant who single mother passes away and has no other family here in Canada and nowhere to call home; someone suffering abuse at home finds it safer to be on a park bench; a teen who is fighting with his or her parents due to an undiagnosed mental issue or learning disability, according to Huffington Post Canada. And the list goes on. The multitude of reasons why kids end up on the street is mind boggling. In York Region, homeless youth, more often than not, do not fit the stereotypical profile. They stem from middle-class families and end up on the street for a variety of reasons. Unlike urban centres, these young people are often homeless not just due to poverty.
