you’re not sure if a kid really wants to do something with you, like ride bikes, for instance. Then, one day while another kid is around, they point out that you are going to take him bike riding. They aren’t exactly exstatic about it, but maybe they are a little happy at least. They made it sound like a good thing?

as for what do I suspect? He has no dad, mom is… well she’s something, he lives with grandma and grandpa, and he just seems to want a “father” or “big brother” figure. Not really sure if anything really bad is happening or has happened… of course I could assume, but you know what happens when you do that (*** out of U and ME… ***.u.me… lol)

What do you suspect is going on?

Sometimes following your gut and instincts are a great clue.

Learn to read into what they aren’t saying… Most often when a kid says the words
“I don’t care” It means that they do care.. and that the thing that they are not caring about actually matters a great deal to them.

lol, but really, my heart might not want to hear bad stuff like this… not from a kid.

Really figure them out. Those are the types of people that really need help, and they are the ones you really have to try to help. It doesn’t just come out and beg you for it. You have to work to help them.
