Not that Random of a family...

I really like the book so far. It is alot to consume in just a couple of chapters, but I like the fast paced reading. Reading about pregnancy, drugs, sex, and young children being abused is liek another world to me. I never grew up the way these kids did, nor has many other poeple that I know. But of course you read about ti and see it in movies. To them its a normal life, but when we read it, we think they live in hell. It seems that every girl who is ten years or older is pregnant with five chidren and three different fathers. Its overwhelming to hear abotu how the girls acted and the men. Some end up lucky nad the rest have to learn to grow up fast. I feel very blessed that I never get to expereince the hard life these children have too. I think these kids can turn there life around though, even the parents. First of all, children need to get back in school becuase that is the only realistic way hey are going to get a decent payign job. Parents need to look after thier kids more and stop the drugs. It is not that hard, but when so much controversy and negative influences are around constantly, it's difficult to walk away.
