I understand that 10th grade and 11th grade was a bad time for you. But, I have to ask if you understood the consequences of your actions? Staying out all night. Coming home at 1 in the morning. How would you feel if one of your children did that? Yes, you had your reasons but no one else knows that. Not being able to talk to someone to help you?

I do not want to blame you for your actions. But, you have to take some responsibilities for your actions. Skipping school. Why? What made it so terrible that it was better to miss school than to be in school? Did you have bullies?

Sounded like you had a foster mom who loved you even with all the things you did that probably hurt her. Yeah, I don’t know you or your life. But, It does not sound like you take any responsibility for your life and actions. How can life get better if you don’t change your life for the better??

Sorry if I sound mean. That is not my intent. I have been the kid who skipped school for months. And the kid who took drugs. And the kid who stole. And I was punished for it. I knew it was time to change or things would just get worse. So, I changed me.
