As you can see here, after putting my survey Facebook I was left with five responses. I believe I only got a minimal amount of answers due to my questions requiring explanatory answers

rather than multi choice.

By looking at my results here set out in a graph, I can see that 4 of the 5 people people that answered my questionnaire are

between the ages of 16-24. This will be due to the fact that the majority of my friends list on Facebook are between the ages of

16-21.

Example #1

1) I asked this question because I believed it would be a good question to gather a variety of opinions on the country as a whole. The number of reports of people becoming

homeless has risen in the past 5 years overall in the UK, it was interesting to see peoples thoughts on the overall impact.

2) This was more personal and required an answered based again on personal opinion. Often, especially in young

people – they turn to “sofa-surfing”, which involves moving

from one home to another, such as friends or members of the family that cannot offer a

permanent lodge.

Getting responses from people roughly around 16-19 related to

this in terms of young people turning to friends or family

members in the event of being kicked out of their homes.

3) The reason I chose this question is to make the reader think about their personal views on homelessness and to whether

or not a person would intestinally make themselves homeless. Often this is not the case, 75% of reports on homelessness are

people who have being forced on the streets to personal or financial issues.

Example #2

5) This question relates more to funding and volunteering to prevent and help homelessness, rather than overall views. This gives an overall conclusion as to how young people respond to homeless

people and the overall issues. For instance this response says that a charity based on teenagers would be good to support, this can be to do with a personal connection between people of the same age or

just general preference.

6) People often are cautious of homeless people due to them being strangers, it’s an interesting point to switch the situation around to if it was an individuals friend and see

what response you would get. People often feel more comfortable

and protective over supporting a friend they know well compared to a stranger who they don’t know at all.

7) It’s always interesting to see what people think about when they think of the particular word “homeless”. There is a strong stereotype on the

term such as that they sleep in doorways etc. And in this particular

response are “scary”.
