In the past I did feel sorry for them and I used to give them money. When I was about 16 I remember this kid who looked only a few years younger than me, begging for money. I gave him some, but he asked for more. I didn't have any more on me, so he started following me and harassing me, and I felt scared. Because of that experience, I don't give anymore.
similar thing happened to me when i was about the same age. the guy said, "if u could just give me a little more...then i could get a meal from mcdonald's" & then i said, "sry but i seriously don't have it. i gave u my only 3 dollars." but the freak didn't believe me & it bothered me immensely bc i was being honest & it caused me not to give again for a couple of years & it's why i now won't interact with them
