I told my friend about the Big Brother sister organisation and she sounded interested.
I should fwd the link.
I never had a big brother, but I had a big sister although she was kind of bossy and wasnt all that interested in me. I was just the annoying little sister. I dont really remember having any positive role models growing up, and even mentoring, which I asked for a while was like I had to do all the work for that which consisted of appointed meetings with an elder and having chats about what I was going to do with my life but how could you when you had to find your own job and do your own search as nobody was ever going to give you a break. But it looks like this isnt that kind of useless so-called mentoring. I mèan I suppose they tried to be positive in thinking they were just giving me the time of day but in generally found they were negative and critical like you cant do this or that and not really encouraging me to grow just be put in your place really. I dont know where this attitude come from, but it can really crush a young person.
Besides now have Jesus as a big brother, so am happy. I dont know if others ever felt so alone in the world as I did like I couldnt talk to elders cos they are of a generation removed and dont really understand what it is like growing up in today's world.
