CPS

CPS is not a bad place.
Girls and boys don't go there because they are bad. They go there because their family can't take care of them or drugs or because they got raped.
You think that your life is screwed up?
You think fighting with your family or little brother or sis is bad?
Then you're wrong.
Many girls or boys here don't have a family.
They have people running their lives for them.
They get told who they can talk to, what school or house you're going to live at and what time of job you are going to get.
You think you pay from your job or your pay of allowence is bad?
Try buying things with three dollars a week.
Try buying your hygiene with twelve dollars a month.
We barely get to do what normal kids do.
Many of kids get torn away from their family and never get to see them again, because the caseworker thinks it's the right thing to do.
Us kids that are in it go to public school and get made fun of because we are in CPS care and they think our parents or family don't want us.
THAT'S NOT TRUE!
When will you get the clue that all we want to do is to be normal like ya'll and not feel any diffrent?
When will we be seen of what's inside of us and not what's through us?
I am one of those kids in CPS and all I want to do is to be normal and not feel any diffrent.
I want to be able to date and have a boyfriend who is not scared to date a girl who is in CPS care.
I don't want ya'll to feel sorry for me because that won't change the damage that has been done.
But be proud of where you are and love your parents and your annoying little sister or brother and be yourself.
For what you have, alot of girls and boys of any age don't.
