We each cope with life's challenges as we are equipped to - and just because someone reacts differently to life's challenges than you or I does not mean that they are unworthy of our compassion.

I brought up the fact that I was kicked out at 17, because getting kicked out young is not an excuse to throw your life away (which is essentially what these people are doing when they do high risk scenes). Regardless of age or situation, everyone has the ability to make choices, good or bad. We all make bad choices at points in our lives, but it's really stupid to make them over and over again. I have very little tolerance of stupid people.... greedy people... junkies...
