My 12 yr old daughters list she was asked by her D.A.R.E class to write an essay about drugs and she did ,she also won. On the last page of her essay went as follows:
When my mom was smoking crack my life was very different. All my mama wanted was crack everything else was no.
my no list is.
NO new shoes
NO Pizza
NO Cable
NO Phone
NO Friends over
NO pencils for school
It was always NO NO NO
Now that my mom is not sick anymore we have everything we need and even sometimes she gives into what we want.
after i read her essay and this i felt for what i put my kids threw. And vow not to ever do it again
