Replies to '04/16 Drug Troubles'

Part of me is interested in family problems while part of me wonders why no one seems to want to show us families with no problems. I have a fraternal twin sister and we were both adopted by a married couple when we were about three months old. We had a very good role model for a mother and neither of us caused any trouble. We didn't get involved with the "wrong" people, never did drugs, smoked, stayed out until all hours, were never insubordinate, and didn't get into shouting matches with either parent. We weren't perfect and we spanked from time to time, but got good grades in school, good attendance, did our homework, were never tardy or absent, or got detention. We moved out at 18, went to college, got jobs and never moved back home.  We never got pregnant, became alcoholics or drug addicts, and never robbed banks, houses or stores. As I said, we must have been boring children. When our family dined out my sister and I were well behaved and never ran around the restaurant or made noise at the table. We went to Sunday school, then church, though not diligently. All in all, I feel we are sadly overlooked and all I can do is hope there are plenty of viewers out there who know that for every family depicted with all their problems in the media, there are many other families doing just fine.
