FIALHO, Lia Machado Fiuza  e  AMORIM, Josabete Bezerra Cacau. School dropout, poverty and starvation: biography of a neglected youth. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2020, vol.26, e31794.  Epub 14-Set-2020. ISSN 1981-0431.  https://doi.org/10.26512/lc.v26.2020.31794.

The objective is to biograph a young homeless man in his relationship with the experiences of school dropout, starvation and poverty. With theoretical support from cultural history of the present time, a scientific study was carried out using the methodology of biographical oral history. The oral narratives of the young person showed a family in a situation of extreme poverty, the experience of parental abandonment, child labor, school dropout after late entry into formal education and drug addiction. These aspects culminated in the break of parental ties, starvation and homelessness. The immediacy of hunger and the absence of public intervention policies made it impossible to establish a plan striving for a better future.
