Tears

I love this. I am going to the army, and I hear my brother cry at night. Sometimes he begs me not to go, but I want to help people, and this is how I want to do it. I just feel bad. I do not like making him cry.

Kendra, I know how you feel. Nine months ago I got put into a foster home with an amazing foster mom and 2 lovely but not so lovely cats. The reason I got put in this situation is because I was in some lame group chat with my friends and they were talking about drugs and I was on school wifi, so the assistant principal called me and said he found it on my phone. They then called my mom to come get me, and right before she came and picked me up, she turned my fostering paper in just because I was in some lame GC, but then she made up another lame excuse, saying that it was because my dad has stage 4 cancer and she can't handle a 14 year old and my dad. It was lie because she has 3 younger kids and they are a lot more to handle, but oh well. I still cry every night, and a couple of weeks ago I got a text saying that my dad only has 3 weeks to live.

My name is Kendra and I have a sister and a brother. I just got put into a foster home. I'm scared, and I don't know what to do. I'm away from my mom. I cry every night. I don't know what to do. My friends are with me however much they can be, but there is only so much they can do. I don't know what to do. I'm so lost. My stomach hurts; so does my heart. I look tired all the time. Why is it that people start to pay more attention to you when you are hurt, but they don't ever have the time to ask how your day is when you aren't hurt. I'm so confused. I don't know what to do.
