• When do people begin to think about sense of life?(student’s opinions)

I want to announce that we are going to speak about family relations today. I want you to accumulate a better vision of the subject that seems to be so trivial at first sight. Really, what can be said about a family?  But we are to remember that it is a very complicated phenomenon. It’s worth investigating and that is what we are going to do today.

No place like home

Vicky's story, which all teenagers and their parents should read.

Today Vicky Samson came home from school at four o'clock. She watched TV for half an hour. Then she did her homework. She's working hard at the moment, because she's got exams soon. After dinner, while she was helping with the washing up, she talked to her parents about a problem she has been having at school.

'I can't believe it. Life's wonderful. Four months ago I was living in a cardboard box under a railway bridge in London'.

It was a normal day, but it was the kind of day that makes Vicky (and her parents) very happy. 'I can't believe it', says Vicky. 'Life's wonderful. Four months ago I was living in a cardboard box under a railway bridge in London.'

Last October Vicky had run away from home. How did it all start? 'I hated school. We always had so much work to do and I didn't see the point of it all. But it was worse at home. My parents didn't understand. It was all "Do this!" "Don't do that!" We only spoke to each other when we were arguing. One day I just couldn't stand it any more'.

On that October day, Vicky didn't go to school. She went to the station, put on some clothes she had packed in her school bag, threw her uniform away and caught the train to London.

'At first it was really exciting. There were all the bright lights, theatres and shops and some really interesting people. It was just like on the telly. I had to sleep on the streets, but I didn't mind. I was free - no school, no homework, no parents.'

But soon there was no food and no money either. 'Someone nicked my purse about a week after I arrived. I couldn't get a proper job, because I was only 15 and you have to be 16. I worked in a restaurant for a while, washing up. That was really funny, because I'd always complained about doing the washing up at home. I didn't get much money, but at least it was warm.'

Then the restaurant closed down and Vicky was back on the streets again. She was cold, hungry and miserable, but she survived until one night about a week before Christmas. 'I was walking down a street, when I looked into someone's front window. There was a girl there, just like me. She was decorating a Christmas tree. I thought "If I was at home, I'd be decorating our tree now." Then I couldn't help it. I just started crying. I sat down on the pavement and cried and cried.'

Luckily for Vicky, the man who lived at the house, Mr Robinson, came home while she was sitting there. He took Vicky into the house and Mrs Robinson gave her a cup of tea and something to eat. 'They were so kind. I told them my whole story. They offered to pay for my ticket home, but I didn't want that. I thought my parents would be angry.'

But the next day she was back home. While Vicky was at their house, Mrs Robinson went next door and telephoned the police in Birmingham. Three hours later, Vicky's father arrived to collect her.

'It was the best Christmas present I'd ever had', said Mrs Samson. 'We're so grateful to the Robinsons for what they did'.
