Losing a parent

I'm sick of people using the loss of their parents as an excuse to act up. I lost my mother at the age of 7 and I am a fully functioning healthy person who thinks and talks for herself. When people use their dead parents as the reason why they became drug dealers, hookers, or criminals it infuriates me. Does it ever occur to people that when they do this they are defiling their loved ones memory, or am I the only one who thinks this?

Hi SoloDee, orphans grow up faster than those who have parents. And orphans learn to take care of themselves early on in their lives. Some orphans though tend to think that having no parents is a ticket to choosing the wrong path, or the easier path to living their lives. The more sensible ones or the more intelligent ones know that their lives are blessings. They make the right choice.

..HI.. I lost my mother when I was 4 and like you, I'm also well and happy.. Maybe, those people who lost their parents and became bad were not able to accept the fact that their parents are gone.. they became depressed because they have no one to turn too and they became jealous when they see a happy family together.. we can't judge them because that's how they try to conceal the emptiness that they feel inside.. I believe that those people could be able to turn their life into a better one when somebody would look at them, care for them and let them feel that they are also important.. we are lucky because our father took care of us with good heart.. not everyone gets the opportunity to be taken cared of and be loved by a parent or relative.. there will always be unfair treatment with relatives who are better of in life.. instead of judging them. let's be more understanding and help them realize that they are actually ruining their life..
