And before anyone comes at me, I AM a parent of one of these children. He is 13 and he has an extremely hard time in school and with his peers and so on. If you ask him what he would want more than anything, he WOULD tell you an Ipod or something like that. BUT I have had a heart to heart with him and he tells me what he truly wants, he wants to do good in school, he wants to be someone and make something of his life.. he wants so much more that DOES mean something, but he has a very hard time communicating this to anyone BUT me. I help him as much as I can, and so does his Dad, we go the extra mile with him and for him and we work with him night and day.
Make me a hero? HELL NO! I am no hero, I am a mom who loves her son and wants the very best his life and this world has to offer him and I DO care to help him, I cry sometimes when he is away or sleeping because I know he is trying so very hard, he just can't get thru some things..... and it is all
PEER PRESSURE... he is the only one of my 4 that have had it hit him as hard as it has. If he goes with the flow, they all love him and so on, but if he even THINKS of being who he is, a caring and very warm hearted child, he is called a fag or some shit...... he has been kicked out of school three times now because he was defending a girls honor...... guys who have hit girls and he jumps in to help her out, and he gets kicked out of school.
Don't call me a great person, I don't want to even hear it, I am just a mom who loves my son very much. My point in this is I do care, and I will do what it takes, same as a lot of the parents I know in my world, here and everywhere, but what about those parents who "can't hang" with them to get them thru it? Someone has to help them and be there for them, you know?
