What are group homes like?
Asked by Oreo707
I presently live an a group home and in my opinion my situation went from bad to worst. My relashionship with my parents has slowly deteriorated. Many group homes are very strict ( ie, if i am literally one minute late for bed or get out of my room before 9 am i have to go to bed a half hour later the next day) we are only allowed one portion of food and only allowed to eat at mealtimes, if we are still hungry too bad for us. The fidges are locked. You have to ask to do everyting (can i go to my room, can i brush my teeth, can i make a phone call, can i do my laundry ect.) Personal items get stolen often by other teens. You are surrounded be others that are of a bad influence ( kids with drug problems) We are not allowed out to see friends ( apart from school) and it is increadibly boaring. We get one 10 minute phone call a day wether it be a friend or parent. Living in a group home is no fun.
Why do you have group homes?
Asked by Wiki User
Most of the time people move into group homes because they have certain disabilities. In a group home there are generally six residents and a group leader that is there to help you as needed. Some people may also wish to move into a group home for the company that it provides.
