This is a study about solidarity relationship between corner street children and young people of the city of Fortaleza, Ceará. The purpose of this research has been the study of the significance of this relationship as a network in process in order to resist and a mechanism to survive on the street. The present study has been done in the context of the city of Fortaleza, Ceará, adopting the perspective of the fragility provoked among young people by modernity. The theory of Bauman points out the solidarity as the main factor of de-construction of life in the reality into life in virtual world . In this latter world, the persons are connected without, however, involving themselves into effective meeting. The corner street life seems to be opposed to this perspective, because corner street children and young of street need one another, since, in the middle of such uncertainty and insecurity as the world of street, a community life is growing between them, built from their common physical spaces (a place or a no man s land, that they will name as their big home ). Corner street children and young are experiencing the fusion between private and collective life; they expose their privacy and are molded by this collectivity in order to define their own space. In this game, they hide their identity of outlaws and create own codes which work as a bridge to the socially accepted world. Inside these children and young people, street is building a perspective of life which is at the same time fragmented, fragile and vulnerable. However, it is clear that the passengers of this trip never lost the single luggage which remained theirs: their capacity to dream remains a reality
