2 Form Arts : ......... THE TEXT

Growing up without parents is hard, emotional, and even painful. Some people lose their
parents at a young age and others may be adopted and never saw or knew their parents. Some
parents, sometimes aren’t around because they're sick or just don't care. But, that doesn't have to
stop you from growing up to become a doctor, or a manager or anything else you want to be. If
you want to make it through life without parents, rely on yourself and make sure you finish school
and also try to obtain other skills you will need to apply for a job and get money for your personal
needs. You'll probably sometimes feel lonely and unloved. So make sure you have a place to live
weather it's with a family or a friend so that you have a happy life with care and encouragement
from the right people around you. Many turn to the streets, drugs and violence but there are
always other options. You can always seek advice from others. It really can be done if you don't
give up and work hard at it. Growing up without parents is rough for most of us but we still have
to keep going.
