Today, the mother of a client visited the clothing closet. Her daughter is quitting school tomorrow because of bullying at school. The mom was optimistic and upbeat. My heart sank for her.
The daughter has plans to get her GED ASAP. I'm glad for that but I'm sorry that the bullying at the high school has led to this. The two places that kids should be safe are home and school. More and more often we are finding out that those are sometimes the most unhealthy environments.
We'll encourage her and her mom, and we'll be praying that she goes to the community college for more education. Nothing else is in our hands.
Some days, it feels like we're on the losing team. But, until we hear the referree's whistle call the game, we'll be here.
