I was homeless in my mid and late teens. I saw many children in their teens whose parents were buying them all kinds of stuff as they lied, cheated, and stole from them. Then they would tell me how lucky I was to be emancipated and how having their parents was such a drag. I just wanted to grab those kids and tell them how good they had it - how spoiled they were.
Right. And I keep wondering where people get this idea of luxurious welfare going on. I've never known anyone on welfare to be living like they're on the British dole.
