What percent of foster kids like their parents and new life?

Question

I was just wondering because i am a foster and I HATE my parents but cant do anything about it, and some of my friends are foster and they dont like their parents either

Answer 1

I hated my parents when I was a teenager too.  In time that will pass.  I had alot of friends with foster families and unless they were placed in that home at a very young age most of them hated their foster parents too.  I think there was only one case where all the teenagers loved their foster family but they were very uniqe people.

Me I had such a hard time with my mom and step dad that I moved out the day I hit 17.  I still finished high school and I worked full time.  I missed out on alot of fun with my friends because of that.  I think it would have been easier to put up with my parents rules and work some part time job and hang out with my friends more and be able to attend school events.  Don't let your hatred for them ruin that....you have to remember your parents were teenagers too at one point but they have probably forgotten what it was like.

Good luck.

Answer 2

Well, the question is why do you hate them?  Do they abuse you in any way?  Or just not let you do everything you want?  I know there can be special circumstances with foster parents, but not all are bad.  Some are just like regular parents.  Natural parents can abuse and discipline and be hated by thier kids just as much as foster.  So don't pity yourself because you are a foster child.
