I really wanna see my mum

[Lottie]

So I've been livin in Taunton with the Wrights for a few months now. They try hard but nothing like me and they have two sons who drive me mad coz they are so dweeby!

I dont fit in at school AT ALL. I really wish I could go back to my old school.

My social worker doesn't really answer any of my questions. Originally I was told I have to go to stay with the Wrights as part of my rehab order, but then I was told I couldn't see my mum and now I have found out she is in rehab. I write to her, but she doesn't respond and I can't visit.

I just feel like everything is all messed up and I don't know what to do.

I thought about trying to get expelled (seem to be heading that way anyway) so they will send me somewhere else, but they still wont let me see my mum and i dunno if it would be better there or not.

You don't really provide much information about your situation so that I can give any useful advice.
Don't try to get expelled or causing too much trouble in general...from experience I can tell you if you have to deal with social workers and the like playing nice and keeping a low profile always works best.

Sorry for not giving enough info about my situation, its a long story.

A brief overview I guess is that mum always liked to drink but i never really thought she drank enough for it to be a problem.

I was struggling at school and got in wit some older kids and started smoking weed. i caught once for possession and then a few months later i got done for arson. I was sentenced to 12 months, 6 months inside and 6 months back in the community (thats when i came to the Wrights), but that 12 months is up now and i still can't go home or see my mum or anything.

Find great friends! I know it can be hard, but sometimes the people right near by can be the ones who are the most helpful...
