12 Steps for Kids

by Leave a Comment

Many children living in a verbally abusive, alcoholic or drug use home feel they have NO VOICE and that NO ONE CARES about them. They are, often times afraid to speak up and share with anyone what is going on at home for fear of retaliation for reaching out for help. This perpetuates the cycle of abuse, neglect and a sick household in which to live. Who is really there for the children when the parent or foster home is chaotic or abusive? These are questions for every grandparent, teacher, counselor, pastor, and youth leaders. Mostly, people operate on the MYOB (Mind my own business) rule. They don’t want to “get involved” or ask, “what if I’m wrong and it’s not really that bad. My response is, “what if we don’t do anything”? How does that help anyone or assist anyone? Many children are in need of services, counseling, support and group support such as Al-A-Teen, Big Brothers Big Sisters, are good places to start. Better yet, what if churches offered a safe place for support meetings for kids/teens to take place? Wouldn’t that be an awesome outreach to help our local communities?
What if we all did our part to help our youth succeed?
