These are not girls in juvie, or in trouble, just average middle school girls. I wonder what this world is going to look like in ten years, when these eleven to thirteen year olds are in their twenties. Some of the main topics we heard were severe drug abuse and addiction with themselves and their families, alcoholic parents, physical abuse, rape, hopelessness, fear of becoming their deadbeat parents, girls getting pregnant at nine, another girl who has been pregnant three times at the age of thirteen/Live, Love, Laugh, Hope.

Question: Live, Love, Laugh, Hope encourages adults to step into the lives of troubled teens to give them a parent figure who cares. Can you think of anything else to turn things around?
I love books. I have many. My husband thinks I have an addiction problem with my books. When it is suggested to me to get rid of a few because ‘you only read them once,’ I am offended. I remember when we moved three years ago. I did get rid of a box, a small box, of books, and it was almost painful. I don’t know what it is, but I just like to be able to go to a bookshelf and pick a book up about a certain subject, or to just know that I always have something to read, which is an understatement/Live, Love, Laugh, Hope.
