Hello, my name is Riley and I'm a street rat. My parents kicked me out of the house when I was 16 because they couldn't handle me anymore. They said that I was trouble and that they didn't want anything to do with me. Since then, I've been living on the streets, trying to make ends meet. It hasn't been easy, but I'm doing my best to survive out here.
I wander around the city, looking for work wherever I can find it. Sometimes I have to resort to stealing just to get by. It's not something that I'm proud of, but when you're hungry and cold, you do what you need to do to survive.
Despite all of the struggles that I face on a daily basis, I try to stay positive. I have my backpack with me at all times, filled with everything that I need to keep going. It's my only possession in the world, and it means everything to me.
I don't know what the future holds for me, but I'm hoping that one day things will get better. Maybe I'll find a job that pays well enough for me to move into an apartment of my own. Or maybe I'll meet someone who loves me for who I am and takes care of me.
For now, though, I'm just doing the best that I can to survive out here on the streets. It's not easy, but it's all I know.
