How do you deal with (homeless people) who beg from you?

I often see many beggars in my city and I will give money to them especially following two kinds of people. One kind is who looks like really need help. Some of them are too old to earn some money by working and other are disabled and they dont have enough money to see a doctor. The other kind is someone who play guitar or other instruments or sing songs. I think there is no stage for them to show their abilities so they only can make money by this way. But some beggars are cheaters, they just treat begging as a occupation. Making money by such way is unfair to others. In a word, giving the baggars some money cant solve their problems totally. The gorverment really need take some measures.

nothing much i can do for them, the most is i will donate some money to the homeless. i am thankful that i have a great home, great family.

I ignore them. I would rather my money go to a charity or a foundation where I know how the money is going to be used. I work hard and scrape by at times, but I would not give my money to the homeless unless if it were an animal shelter.

i usually give them a quick 2 minute message on how poor i am! even though i tend to dress a little bit nicer and what not (i get a lot of hand me downs as well as shop at thrift stores). i am sure they get annoyed with me, but i dont care.

I wil give them some change or my unnecessary items.I never look at those beggers ago.I thought that they are not worthy of caring.But I change my perspective now.If I am able to help them ,I can do it .Help others were to help ourselves.

Hello kukaisiton, I myself usually try to help homeless people. Unless they are trying to scam me. Then I just walk away. But when ever I can I try to give them/ show them what they want. Cheers! Thok

I have a rule. I dont give to white but of course there is exception to the ru;e. Whites have systematical advantage in this system.

how do you deal with homeless people who beg from you? Hi there kukaisiton. Most of the time whenever I see some homeless person out begging I will just keep on going. But if they happen to come right up to me. Then I will usually dig down and see if I can give them a few dollars. Since we never know what their situation is and what got them into that predicament in the first place I figure that my little bit might just help to get them out of it. Besides that I try not to judge them. As we never know when the tables might turn in life and then we'd be the ones to wind up out there on the streets without a home. So usualy if I have it to give then I will give, even if I just happen to walk into a store and they have some kind of money pot on the counter collecting donations. Well a little spare change ain't going to do me a bit of good but it can help to buy some poor hungry kid a hot meal to eat. So why not give? That is just my way of looking at it. You will sleep much better at night whenever you do. Happy mylot.

No one wants to be a beggar or homeless or unemployed. There are no poor people who want to. Give them, not make you poor. My friends and I organize them. They give us lessons of art (poetry, drama, painting, dance, music, etc.). Now they sing of life in the stalls and restaurants, in bus, in the streets. We call this street performers. Now, the organization we have thousands of members. We can be happy to help other people. We want to live useful.

I usually say to them that I have no cash, which is mostly true because I mainly use credit card. Oh God, they are annoying me so much, but I try to stay as calm as possible, they have no right to spoil my day!

I encounter homeless people on the subway all the time. As far as how I deal with them; I almost always give them my spare change because I know that even if its a small amount, It is going to change their life far more than mine. The only time I hate giving homeless people money is when there is a crowd of people around; people tend to think you are showing off by giving them money.
