Tales from childhood: It's my fault!

Hello, people! I'm Sophie. I want to tell with you about situation.

Angela is my friend. I know her good enough. 

Once there was such a case with her. She was beaten by the boys from the neighborhood. Then her own mother called her bad words for it. She said that Angela was to blame for everything and shouldn't expect protection from her. Besides. her daughter was older than those boys.

"What is this?" Natalie asked Angela, when she saw her bruises.

"It's all my fault." she said.

What do you think about this situation?

Tales from childhood: Alone girl.

Hello, dear readers! I'm Maria. I want to tell you about my young years. 

I grew up in orphanage. The state raised me. Also, I found my distant relative Timothy in a foster family.

Now about the present. I'm the mother of my son. I have an adopted daughter, too. Her name is Angela. She is essentially an orphan, so we took Angela into our family.

"I was once a lonely little girl, but now I have found different friends," Angela said.

"It's very good!" I said with a smile.
