It makes you feel like you don't belong when you are in a foster home with people who have kids of their own. When you do make conversation you are worried they might think you are weird.

it makes you feel like you all alone because most kids have parents who can take care of them and be there for them when it really, where unlike us we dont have that. We just have kids at school who are really judgemental
