- limited education resources
- if they can access an education they could be mistreated by peers for their appearance or lifestyle as they involuntarily don’t have access to clean clothes / hygiene products etc.
- may have limited access to food and drink making an impact on growth
- will have had to mature very early due to their circumstances and know about mature topics such as drug abuse as that’s a main stereotypical quality of a homeless person (their parents)
- may not be able to socialise that well in the future
- not had experience to make new friends and build relationships
