She does, but they turned her away.

Back home there is a rule. If your born there, you'll die there & more then likely young.

The drug use & mental illness is pretty high there (that town has the highest crime ratio of ALL of Canada.. rapes, murders, suicides & DRUGS galore!!!)... I blame some of it on health care... If they would help more young folks who want/need help, then the suicide ratio would drop drasticly! & so would a lot of other ratios, drug use!!!

I was one of the lucky ones that got out of that town before getting mixed up in drugs. As I was heading down a BAD path as I did see no future like everyone else. Even though my Ex was a horrible person, if him & his family didn't take me into the city with them for school, I never would have gone & I would have stayed with the ummmm... lets leave it at that... But ya, it would have been bad

My sister got mixed up in drugs at about 12yrs old. She got preg. at 14 & OD'ed over & over & over to kill it... She was a horrid reck... When I finished college, dad no longer had to pay for my child care (I would have stayed in school longer, but I knew my sister needed the $ more then I did).. so my dad got her out of that town & into school.. Shes been clean (even from pot) since Aug 2006 or a little earlier... She hasn't touched coke, or E in years. She has cut way back on drinking, to the point she only drinks at parties, but doesn't get wasted... He smoking is going down.. She hasn't quit it yet, but she keeps cutting back at her own pace.

Chance & his g/f will be in that town, prob. for life. Unless they get a break, Chance was offered free university paid by his uncle, but he still hasn't gone I tried to incourage him to go, but he doesn't want to leave home
