Is There Any Way to Detect What a Homeless Person/bum Is Actually Begging For?

Question by Christopher: Is there any way to detect what a homeless person/bum is actually begging for?
Are there any tall tale signs that give away a bum with a drug addiction v (for example) a war veteran with mental problems? I live in a very populated area with many homeless people begging (on my way to class). I feel bad and usually try to help them out but I don’t want to support something I don’t agree with. Thanks.
