So one day at school, one of my close friends, Megan, came to school looking very
ragged. Her clothes were ripped up, her shoes had holes in the front,
her hair was just a complete mess, and she had a lot of bruises on her legs.
Megan just acted like nothing was wrong, but I could definitely tell because, as
my mom was a victim of abuse, I could just tell when someone was being
abused. So I asked Megan if I could come over to her house after school and
she said that was perfectly fine. So I caught up to her after school and we
were just talking about life and the latest gossip at school.
So when I arrived, her house was a complete mess. It wreaked, the
mattresses were downstairs in the living room floor, her siblings were kind of
dirty, her mom looked a mess, and her dad, was just, looked very angry. So I told my
mom all about it and she said I should definitely report it to the counselor. So
I did so. And Megan went into counseling, and she came out looking very depressed.
So the next day, she came into school, she looked actually better. And I asked her
what was up, and she just kind of walked off and mumbled something, which I didn't
really hear. So then she finally told what's going on, and she got put into a
care home. I told my mom that she got put into a care home, and my mom liked
Megan very much, very fond of her, so we looked into fostering Megan. So now,
Megan is my foster sister and we are very happy and I'm very glad that we
made this decision, because her father was very abusive and her siblings were
going through such a tough time. Her siblings are still in care and we
couldn't foster her siblings because we didn't have much space for them. If you
notice anything weird about anyone in your school, or anyone in general, make
sure you report it to someone that could help.
