The Other Hollywood
Say the word 'Hollywood' and we think of the movies,
long limousines and famous people living in luxury on Beverly Hills.
But there's another Hollywood which we don't hear about,
it's the part of Hollywood where the homeless live.
Hollywood is America's unofficial
homeless capital and between
4,000
and
10,000
homeless
teenagers sleep on Hollywood
Boulevard every night, that's
about one tenth of Los Angeles'
homeless population.
A dream come true?
For many teenagers ~o~l~wood
seems like an escape from their
difficult home life. They arrive
with the dream that they will
become movie stars and lead
the glamorous lifestyle that they
see in the movies. However, the
reality is that thieves steal their
money in the first week, and
many soon become involved in
buying and selling drugs in
order to survive. Some teenagers
become gang members and
either end up in prison, or dead
because gang culture is very
violent in America. So the dream
that teenagers arrive with, and
the reality they find, are very
different.
Who is responsible?
Movies create the image of
Hollywood which we all have.
Are they responsible for what
happens to homeless teenagers
on Hollywood Boulevard? Some
campaigners for the homeless
believe that they are and have
organised protests at Hollywood
studios. London's
Big
Issue
magazine recently asked Steven
Spielberg's office, Warner, and
Colombia Studios to comment
on the problem of homeless
teenagers in Hollywood, but
none of them believed that they
were responsible. Every day the
studios continue to make movies
and teenagers keep coming to
Hollywood full of hope and dreams.
Why are they on the streets?
Over half of the people aged
under 25 and living on the streets
leave their family homes because
of abuse. They might feel
frightened, or even think they are
responsible for it. Many teenagers
don't know where to look for
help, and the only way out of the
situation may seem to be to run
away from it.
