[QUOTE="toreapartwomanoftwo, post: 256637, member: 2699"] Thank you for all your advice. difficult child is graduating HS this summer. He is going to be 17 years old in May and is hard for me to believe this because he was so behind in credits, but he is working very hard in boarding school. I am not sure if he will stay there since the economy is so bad. difficult child wants to be a chef as soon as he finish HS. I am a worry about him finish HS early since all his good friends are going to be in HS still, while he is in College, besides all his good friends have moved away and I am worry that he contacts the bad ones, even do I called all the bad friends and told them to stay away from difficult child and my house and I block their phone # and I even called their parents and told them to keep their children away from mine. I wanted to share with you what the letter that he sent me from difficult child here it is: Today some parents whos kids were in the program came in to talk to us, they said to us that it was very hard for them, and they are still paying for the payments from here after two years, dang thats a lot of money, they also said that after a while about their kids started to mess up, but it was mainly because of the feeling of loneliness, because here you have 26 other kids with you all the time, and going home its really lonely, their was this mom whos kid took his exit plan, and he made a plan with his mom, on what he was going to do, when he got home, he needed to get a job, and go to school, and he actually did all that, and he is now going to college, I found that really cool, their was this person who got pulled, about seventeen years old, and he also did pretty good, the parents, said life outside is often the hardest for the ones, that actually graduate, because they have been here for so long that, things change so much, that they really dont know what to do, because its really lonely. I got some news, mom you are reveiving this letter from a senior in highschool, yup that's right I am a senior! I cant believe it, the classes that I'm taking right now is Algebra 2 Spanish 2 English 12, I am going to take some art that I need to, and I will take an extra year of science, and math its going to look so good on my transcipt, and thats it Im dont after that, but I would like to do some P.E. credits at home to finish them real fast, I could get a diploma in really 3-4 months from now, all I need is 5 credits of P.E. It will take to long to do them here, what do you think of me doing five credits of P.E. at home? I also got 2,000 points I have been earning a lot, I lose points but everyone loses points every week but I have been gaining about 100-200 points a week so thats really good, mostly for finishing a year of a class you get about 100 points. well have a nice week- love from your son [/QUOTE]
