[QUOTE="slsh, post: 620655, member: 8"] Definitely not inappropriate, Echo. thank you lived on the streets/couch surfed for 2 years. I was a chicken and very deliberately avoided learning any details - given his physical condition, I was pretty positive I didn't want to know. What I do know is that he fell in with a group of street kids who knew where all the teen shelters/soup kitchens/friendly couches were. He survived, I think he learned a *lot*, and I think it made him eventually reevaluate how he was living his life. I think it's good to remind parents who are going through the utter hell of having a homeless kid that our kids are extremely resourceful and that they can come thru to the other side and make changes, eventually. It's not terribly reassuring (I can still remember very well the sick feeling I carried in the pit of my stomach those 2 years thank you was on the street), but... it is maybe a *smidge* reassuring.
