prayers needed

[Dobie]

I'm so sorry you are going through this - hopefully your son will get the help that he needs.

I would not want to be a teenager today. No wonder a lot of them are angry, they way the world is now. Makes me sad for all of them.

I'm glad Debbie that he has to take the classes. I really think, with the way the world is not just the outside forces, but the violent video games and music, that anger management should be taught in the schools. Maybe a part of the health class. Sometimes needs to be done to help these young people before it's too late.

Prayers and blessings to you & your family. We survived 2 teenage daughters who really put us thru the wringer...teenagers .
Just remember, your son does love you and "this too shall pass". Hold on

Thank you all for thinking of us. The update is.... we were going to make him get a job to pay his own fines, court costs, fees ect... BUT, nowhere in this town will hire at 15... what happened to 15 yr old bagboys? Oh, well,...he is 15 and a half so the day he turns 16 he WILL be getting a job. Until then he is working helping mom out on some wekends and she is giving me the money he earns for his fines.
We were also evicted from our government housing apartment because he now has a criminal charge. You do the right thing and it bites you in the bum... anyway we are searching for a house, but 4 and 5 bedrooms are rare and usually way more than we can handle per month. We found one for $550/mo but the place should be condemned. We may ended up having to take this place.
Again thanks to all who are thinking of us.

Traci, just a thought meant in a positive way, maybe you can take him around to garages in your town to ask if he can wash cars after school or on saterdays?

I agree with Janet, it's no wonder kids are the way they are these days, they are not allowed to be kids like we were, they are forced to grow up fast.

So sorry you are having to move to another home, that really is hard.

Thinking of you girl - big hugs!!

[Janet]

Traci, I'm so sorry you're going to have to move. We had our son out in the cornfields picking up corn to take to the elevator for money since he was 8 years old. There are a lot of things a 15 year old can do. Mow yards, weed flower beds, clean out shed/garages for people that are older. Run errands for the elderly, what about delivering a paper?

I'll keep you and your family in my prayers Traci.

[Chandra Amaya]

Our town paper requires you to be able to drive. We have so many people who live far out in the country that you can't deliver a paper without one and our paper doesn't come out until noon so he is in school.As far as yard work, most people here live in aptments and have it done by the landlord or require that you bring your own lawnmower, ect. I had never thought about garages letting him wash cars so I will have to call a few in this area.
