I do not know why you believe in Social services-they have been working with us for 5 months but their greatest decision was,"We have to think about foster care if the things get worse...

Hi again, Ed -- I agree with all those who suggest that 14 is very young to take on responsibility for the mess the so-called grown-ups have made of things.

I do hope you will look around your school again and see if you might connect with a teacher, or join a church group.

Social Services is a government department that sees to enforcing child protection laws. It is not the right place to look for counseling for yourself. United Way is a community charitable organization, and there are often counseling services connected to it. The counselors at such services are NOT connected in any way to Social Services, even though there might be a similar name such as "Family and Children's Services." In fact, anything you might say to your counselor at that agency would be confidential.

Even if you feel that you "can't spill your guts" to a teacher or a minister with whom you are minimally acquainted, such as individual may be plugged into the system to help you find your way to the right agency.

Maybe posting here is enough to relieve your stress, worry and confusion. If it's not, you owe it to yourself to see if you can find a trustworthy grown-up to listen and help.

Wishing you all the best ---
