US: Troubles of an Older Youth in Foster Care (Commentary)
Imprint – September 27, 2022
Being in the foster care system can be a very rough experience. I struggled with never being able to go to the same school, not being able to make friends or build relationships, and never having any kind of stability. I developed depression and severe social anxiety being around adults, my family members, and my other peers. It didn’t matter where I went. I never stopped feeling like I wasn’t wanted. I felt like I was the outsider looking in or like I didn’t belong.
