I read a response from someone who chose to be anonymous. Your response was to Reality check. I graduated from the Kids Helping Kids program 11 years ago. I believe it was the best thing that ever happened to me. I was an out of control kid who did not care what happened to myself. I was unable at that point in time to love or care about myself. I was obsessed with drugs and alcohol because that is what took the pain away. I thank God that my parents loved me enough to place me there. When I could not love myself I had a whole group of people that loved me. Eleven years later I am a happy, productive member of society. I did not need intense psychotherapy in order to heal from the ordeal. I never want to forget my time spent there. I am now married, have a home and am getting to ready to have children. I am a successful graduate from college with a good career. Maybe if some people's life did not turn out so well they should take a look in the mirror as to why. Whatever measures took place at Kids Helping Kids I believe that I needed them. Nothing else was working at that point. So please don't assume your experience was the same as mine.
