you know some people really don't understand how lucky they are. I started my internship wednesday, and within two days some of the things that i've heard about have made me shudder. Also it made me see how lucky i was and how lucky all of my friends are. Yea, we have disagreements with siblings and parents but at least you weren't pimped out by your cousins/siblings for sex, or at least your 14 year old older sibling didn't rape you, your best friend, and your 3 year old sister.Or your parents didn't leave you in soiled diapers because their needs of partying came first.
Some of these kids are going to have tough time in the system, and they will have serious problems when they grow up. It breaks my heart, and makes me shudder. Its a tough business to deal with, and alot of people write it off as easy. It's not, im taking the easy road out. Adult offenders are easy cuz most of them fucked out their own lives, but most of these kids are hurting themselves and other kids.
