Marcus Vega, 19, was homeless for a year on the streets of Fresno. Now he's hoping his story will encourage other homeless teens to get off the streets and get help.
Vega is using a small video camera to document the hard life of teens who have no homes. He took us on a tour of the world he knew for a year, before he sought help and got off the streets.
He showed us kids living in abandoned homes, getting little sleep and not much to eat, and dropping out of school.
