Teach a text: Dumpster Diving

Dumpster diving is not something I would see myself doing; my mom recently asked me to reach into the trashcan to take out an important piece of paper that she accidently threw away… I refused because I find the trashcan discussing and unsanitary. If it came down to not having another alternative to be able to survive for either not having clothing or food I think I would to a certain extent because in this world only the strong people survive and I am a person that wants to keep living no matter what circumstances I’m in. Many other people in this world live worse than the homeless people we know believe it or not. I think I would feel like people would be judging me all the time but recently I have came to understand that no matter what a person does they will be judged. I believe that a person should do what is best for them and if it means going dumpster diving to survive and not starve.  I would dumpster dive with great dignity!!!

In my situation both of my parents have been together for a little bit over 25 years. A marriage will always have a few fights here and there but communication is key like in any other situation and also marriage is nothing to jump into if a person is not ready to be committed to the other person. My family is my mom, dad, my older sister, younger brother and I. My older sister now is married and has two kids of her own. The numbers most of the times don’t show everyone it’s only a few people that they take into account while creating the statistics. The numbers most of the time do not solely rely upon what situation a person is in. If a person wants a bright future that person will try to find an alternative to venting besides finding comfort in any type of substance abuse. There are always ups and downs in life and there are more positive ways to vent than becoming a statistic of substance abuse. Most of the time a person does not develop a substance abuse problem by themselves its peer pressure and the friends a person surrounds themselves with impacts their life, their choices and how they will participate in society.
