I had a female friend who threw a chair at a teacher once in class...she turned out ok a few years later. Not so good grades, but did really well in gym :P

My husband just retired from the military after 20 years. Let me tell you, he is the ONLY one in his family with a good head on his shoulders, manners, a conscience, discipline, work ethics. He said the military probably saved his life, or he would have ended up like the rest of his family, drug addicted crooks, his younger brother recently died from a drug overdose. Don't diss the military, it has helped a LOT of people get their lives back on track. I'm pretty sure my son will eventually go to military school, because that is exactly what he needs, unless he makes a complete turnaround.

He gets plenty of love from us, but apparently that's not enough, or maybe even the problem. It's time for some tough love.

As she draws her final breath
Just beyond the door he'll find her
Taking her hand he softly says

For the first time you can open your eyes
And see the world without your sorrow
Where no one knows the pain you left behind
And all the peace you could never find
Is waiting there to hold and keep you
Welcome to the first day of your life

Just open up your eyes as I lay you down tonight
Safe on the other side
No more tears to cry
