After learning she was HIV positive in 1991 from 1984 rape, Cathy Robinson became an advocate in a time where little was known about the virus. With a sound background in Political Science and Sociology, Cathy sought to fight for and represent victims and patients. This is seen through her preventative work in schools across the country and eventually to other countries across the world. She founded a nonprofit organization that targets educating and meeting the needs of the affected and infected -- while managing her own battles the disease has caused.

Well this is a problem everyone faces at some point in their lives. The only thing we have control of is our reactions to others…right. First off try to look at your situation honestly…..some times what’s driving us crazy is our parents trying to do what they are supposed to and that’s help us make good long term decisions. Sometimes we want to be all grown up and yet we still have a few years to go. And a lot times kids look around and think wow everybody I know has so much more freedom than I do….but if you really look at their lives, their freedom isn’t a good thing it’s their parents not being the best parents they could be.

If you are older college age or so the deal is this is as hard of a time for your folks as it is for you….boundaries, new relationships, new friendships, and distance all play a part….try to find a way to let your wings spread without completely leaving your folks out of the picture….remember they may be feeling a sence of loss and grief at your growing up!

If there are more serious issues than growing pains….there are definately people at school you can talk to.
