I get extremely frustrated just like you and every time I do I remember what he told me. Many of these kids haven't become "themselves" yet. They are influenced by so many outside sources and are so exposed to them on a daily basis that it's a wonder if they will ever find "themselves". I found that I need to do what I can to help them in that regard. It is getting easier everyday. Talking to them individually about thier own affairs on thier level really makes a difference.Dwayne Connorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07753153445049912285noreply@blogger.com
