Home is a place where you have family, and respect, also a safe home in the place where you go to call home. Family is people who care about you. My family loves me and cares about me, and when something happens to me my family is always there. Family’s are there to give you a safe home and love with every second. If you could imagine a home with no people in it how would you feel? Everyday when you come home and nobodys there. Or if you had no home or family. That is what some people's lives are like. But they could find someone who cares about you and loves you a lot. If i didn’t have a family i would be really sad but there could be someone who is looking for a child, that could be a part of a family. If I were one of those people I would love to have a family. In some families the children are at an orphanage and people are going to adopt that child. And that would be their family with the child that they got. If that child was there for like two years they would feel so happy. I think that the child would love the place of their dreams. And that their only dream would be to have a home. And that came true they would feel really happy and they would cry. Home is family always even if your parents get mad at you it is always family. Respect is the thing in your house that you need. If your parents didn’t respect you then they wouldn’t care for you or love you. If your parents didn’t respect you then you probably would get the love. Respect is when let's say you look very different then other kids, and the other kids don’t want to play with you. But then someone comes up to you and cares for you,that is respect. But imagine if your parents were not respecting you like the other kids. They would just give you a name and then say your room is that one. They would probably give one pair of clothes. If you looked unique then they wouldn’t care for you. So if you had an older sister and you were the not respected one then your sister would get smutered in love. Not being respected is just like the black lives matter thing back in the day. There were white bathrooms and black bathrooms. But it is in your home so that would be a lot harder so try to respect people who don’t look like other kids. Don’t be pushy and don’t hurt their feelings and make them doubt themselves. If you see a kid like that then you should ask them to be friends. When I have a bad day I always go to my family and talk about my day. And they help me do what I'm supposed to do, like when I did something wrong the place where I stay has answers. My home is a safe place where I can talk about what happened. My home is a lot different than a house. It's a place where I will always feel safe. If you lived in a home where it was just a place where you call my house it is different then a home. Home‘s are different from houses. The difference is that home’s are a place where you feel safe and a house is not fully your home, it is your new house. That you are breaking into and changing your lifestyle. But you can also call home where you grew up when you were a child. When you visit your family for holiday it feels like you were a kid. And when you step in the door you feel like you're at home. If you could choose between rich with no love or poor with lots of love? I think I would choose the poor with lots of love. Because if you're that rich girl you could have everything you want. But you have no love so your parents would not even say hi they would just buy you everything and you would get no love. So my family’s home has a family who loves me, and a lot of respect. And last but not least is a safe place where I can talk about whatever I need. A home is not about the things in the home, it is about the family in the home.
