[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t feel that way at all. Maybe because I have a lot of experience working with low income boys ages 11-14 in some innovative programs and see how they aren’t that different than I was at that age as a poor black kid in Baltimore and I’m a pretty awesome human being today. And they aren’t that different from my DDs raised middle class in terms of having dreams and wanting adults to support them. So I haven’t written them off. TBH, I think any community that starts writing off its youth as unredeemable is doomed.[/quote] OP here. I really admire you for the work you provide to our children and communities. It sounds like you are truly an organic leader. I, too, grew up in poverty and while such programs were not available to me, I understand there healing power. There's a lot we still need to learn about cases like yours. [/quote]
