I remember we...Bless his heart and yours too, HUGS. I remember well, not eating at school as a kid, because I got free lunch and the kids would make fun of me. They really did make it obvious back then, having the kids that got free lunch come to the office on Mondays and pick up special lunch tickets that they had to turn in each day, while going through the lunch line. At another point, I lived with some cousins of mine, the got a SS check for me each month and blowed it all on camera equiptment and motorcycles etc... They did not apply for free lunch for me. But they also didn't buy anything for me to pack or give me money to take to school. I was starving for a long time. Finally, I just became anorexic at 12. It was really easy as nobody seemed to care whether I ate or not.<br /><br />I never got new clothes at school start either. It was really hard as the kids that did have money for designer clothes would mock me like crazy. People can believe whatever they like but truth is, some kids are just plain mean and hurtful. My kids know that if I ever should catch them mocking another child for having less, their stuff will be taken away, and they will attend school the rest of the year in the ugliest stuff I can buy them at GoodwillDawnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07866755419332331933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4383409874556484688.post-1032761202412465972009-07-24T14:24:45.546-04:002009-07-24T14:24:45.546-04:00That's so so sad. And I know it's true. ...That's so so sad. And I know it's true. My kids have been the kids with no money for field trips or no money for their gym uniform until after the 3rd of the month. My son is ashamed of getting free lunch and would go for weeks without eating lunch until someone from the office called me and we had a little pow wow with him about how no one has any way of knowing. All this because their dad is a loser who isn't meeting his financial responsibilities. My son needs new shirts for school because he's grown so tall and his shirts aren't long enough, not to mention they are old and all the kids in his freshman class will have all name brand new clothes. It's mortifying to me that his dad is like this and I do my best, but being that I can't work, my money only goes so far.<br /><br />Why is it that these situations are because of at least 1 bad parent?<br /><br />I feel bad for the kids who are abused too. They have it much worse.Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17385290159403288196noreply@blogger.com
