But since you have worked with both, you can confirm there is no difference. They just have different fears of opening up to someone else. Thanks!<BR/><BR/>I am in awe of your work.

People in trouble can smell their buddies. They can sense us. Actually we do radiate what is inside of us. So them opening up to you without you having to say or do much has to do with your good intentions from inside and they detected it. It is the pheromones thing.<BR/><BR/>I am just amazed at the sacrifices you made. Wonderful.

Same thinglah, you need to gain their trust first. The difference is that basically the youths don't want to talk if they feel that us adults are just trying to tell them what to do; while the PLWHAs won't talk if they feel that we look down on them and that we'd be telling the whole world of their HIV so that the whole world will look down on them too.<BR/><BR/>Deep down inside them, either the problematic youths or the PLWHAs, they actually do need someone to talk to, even though they may deny it.Pi Banihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227545429070294956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5424976298336470690.post-83476368911135940192007-06-26T06:13:00.000+08:002007-06-26T06:13:00.000+08:00Anonymous,Thanks for the info.LUJ,These kepochi ne...Anonymous,<BR/>Thanks for the info.<BR/><BR/>LUJ,<BR/>These kepochi neighbours like to make their own assumptions and stay away from the PLWHAs instead of showing empathy/sympathy.

They eventually did when I spent time interacting with them.<BR/><BR/>I can never compare the lives of those teenagers with a PLWHA, though. Extreme difference. But the point is ... some open up, some don't. Some say a lot, some not. Everyone is made up differently and all of them possess different levels of trust - how much to share, etc.J.T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13729752991744815923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5424976298336470690.post-58783231660322685102007-06-26T00:27:00.000+08:002007-06-26T00:27:00.000+08:00salam,Pity those who have to live around the kepoc...salam,<BR/><BR/>Pity those who have to live around the kepochi neighbours....
