I am a 17F who has been abused in many ways growing up and still is, was homeless, and my moms in a cult & didnt let me talk to anyone outside of it for 7 years but i am doing better than i have ever been! AMA!

yes i have looked into social work a lot and have talked to many people who work for many different fields and most of them say it's very depressing seeing what those kids go through. i wanted to become a therapist but i have come to despise seeing therapist since i have had to see them all my life from social workers taking me out of school as early as Kindergarten, to being forced to see one now by my dad. i don't want to become what i hate.

and i CAN NOT SEE BLOOD! so police work wouldn't be good for me i feel like hehe.

i know lots of people, the judges, lawyers, mediators, etc in my city and i know how it all kind of works and the law is so interesting to me and i love learning so much and there's always something new to learn in that field i feel like. AND YES I KNOW! I AM VERY FAMILIAR with how many times the bad person gets off free. it's so irritating. but even being a sense of comfort to any child will bring me so much happiness, so that's why i chose it!

are you a police officer?? that's interesting!
