>I think it would do the world of good to have "Adopt-a-Grandparent" in all our schools. It would make the elderly feel needed and the kids would learn alot.
You're all very lucky to have had wise, sympathetic grandmothers. A lot of kids don't have anyone to go to when they have problems. Not everyone can run to a grandmother. I think that sometimes good kids from unsupportive families are seen as bad seeds rather than neglected children. I'm not referring to malicious children, rather to the unguided, unsupervised ones who aren't trying hurting anyone (perhaps just doing drugs, ditching school...). Although even malicious children are often that way because of abuse. I think that all of you had a very precious gift in life. Not everyone if lucky enough to receive that gift.
