“There are no bad kids. Just kids with problems. ”

I agree with anji. You have to read between the lines with these things and that note is clearly a cry for help. Nobody truly knows the situation of someone else unless they take the time to find out or unless they’ve walked in the same shoes a time or two.

All I am saying is that pain is expressed in a plethora of ways and sometimes its important to take notice. It is evident that you do take notice Mocha, considering the fact that she left the note to you.

Aw, bless her heart. And I mean that in the nicest way possible, not the Southern way.

You know, on the days when you post your discouragement, and exhaustion, this sort of thing is what I think of because I KNOW that is what you bring to those kids. It doesn’t cure burnout to save teenagers I know but I hope it will at least extend your staying power. There’s an old Jewish saying that when you save a life you save the world. You’ve save a couple of galaxies by now.
Happy Thanksgiving – I’m thankful you’re on this planet.

There’s always hope. If they can have a series of thoughts like that in hindsight, maybe one day they can process the same logic under pressure and free themselves from “anger issues”.

I’ve just finished my teacher’s college geared towards First Nations students. My professor gave me a quote, which I will never forget.

There are no bad kids. Just kids with problems.

This is proof.
