- What should I say when friends ask, "Are those your real parents"?
- I just want a new start. Is it wrong that I don’t want to keep in touch with old friends?
- I’ve never been good at making friends b/c I had so many family troubles. Why is it still hard now that I’m in foster care?
- Why can’t I see all my friends whenever I want – like I used to?
- Are there people I can talk to about my problems?
- How do I stay out of fights when I’m so angry inside?

- How do I know if my relationship is abusive?








I have been in fostercare for two years and I don't want to go back to live with my mom for many reasons but mainly because I don't feel safe. The judge says I have to but also said I could have regular contact with my foster parent. My social worker says I can only see my foster parent 6 times per year. I need to see her more. do I have any rights.
