[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 294119, member: 179"] You are right, Star. It really has nothing to do with the clothes, but the violation of the most basic things. That's the problem. When you're 'in the system,' albiet whatever form, you go to ground zero every time there is an offense or argument. It's not the clothes that matter...it's HAVING clothes in the end. Like Dude, they come in like storm troopers and raid everything. Sometimes it's out of pure ugliness, sometimes it's just another kid who has stumbled across their path and they're going to take all they can get. My best advice (haha...me giving advice) is for Dude to write an honest letter to his most previous or impending judge. No attorneys, straight to the judge. It would have to be submitted by whatever the protical is for the county/state, but by law they must read it. Dear Judge, I need help. I've been in the system for X number of years. Yes, I have made my fair share of mistakes, (see attachment A) but I'm trying to get my life in order (see Attachment B). Yet...I'm in 'the system.' You and I both know what that means. I have a supportive family, a will to do the right thing, but I keep hitting these road blocks that make it nearly impossible to move forward in my life. It's like waking up happy then hitting a wall of bricks 10 minutes later. It seems nothing I do really matters when it's taken away from me in an instant. I'm young and have lots of years to learn. I know that. Give me a real opportunity. Take a risk on me. I will not disappoint you. Ultimate Dude ...................... Now, that being said, does Dude really want a change for his life? haha...everyone wants a change. Stupid question. But, if he puts it out there and gets a response, he better step up to the plate 100%. You can only burn bridges so many times. It won't be easy and you have to swallow a lot of pride, but he can do it. Hugs, friend. Abbey [/QUOTE]
