Since writing about troubled teens, a friend told me that I should write about LifeLines Family Services – Education Consultants For Troubled Teens which he and his wife have found effective for their struggling son.

LifeLines Family Services represents youth programs and assist families in matching the youth with the most suitable program. I always believe that if the parents are not able to handle their teenager, then let the professionals do it.

Youth programs are headed by people who have come across all kinds of teen behavior as no two teens are the same. By joining the correct youth program, a troubled teen can gain new perspective, self-awareness, good habits and survival tool and set new goals for themselves.

I believe that all children are born good. It is the choices that were made along the way that have turned them to how they have become. LifeLines Family Services strive to help teenagers like these turn over a new leaf by assisting family from the very first step including application to arranging for financial assistance and transportation.

My cousin is a student in California. He has just bee admitted to his university’s fraternity chapter. While I have not been to university before, I really did not know how tough it is to be admitted but my cousin told me all that he went through just to get accepted into a chapter. I guess that is something to celebrate about!

I soon found out that he told me the good news because he wanted a loan. He said that he has to buy Greek Merchandise in order to be “one of the guys” and they all crave for uniformity.

Ignorant me did not know that they need special Greek gear but thank god they are inexpensive. My cousin said he needs extra money to send flowers to London. She has gone to visit London and since her birthday is coming soon, he needs to get the flowers over. I can sympathize with his situation and so I agreed to loan him some money. I even gave him extra to buy a student health insurance policy.

I told him that he need not repay the loan to me until after graduation. I have now branched off to trading on eBay Motors and business has picked up so I have some cash to spare. Thank god.
