“Being around this type of situation, it teaches you very good skills on how to handle most probably the hardest things in life to deal with.”
“I have learnt to get on with my family just by listening to them and not getting in trouble, now I am going home.”
“I have learnt how to work within the place and get what is best for me and the skill to help others out.”
“I have had many good and bad consequences of the time I have been here. I have learnt that doing things like smoking weed will result in a consequence and it’s harsh. I have learnt that it hurts more than one person and it breaks trust.”
“Now I go to school every day, stopped hitting my mum, doing chores often.”
“I got compromising skills, lifelong friends and stopped being lazy.”
“I am going to school now.”
“I learnt to accept the word ‘no’ and my mum and me actually listen to each other.”
