anyone a Big Brother/Big Sister? i'm considering signing up to be one, JW if anyone else was and wanted to share what they do, etc.

Nope. My mom's boss was one of those Big Brother's for awhile. I don't know if he still does it, because he's married and has 3 kids of his own. I think he enjoyed it though.

Someone in my distant family had a big brother. He came to a family party and he spent most of his time just hanging out and swimming with the kid.

My niece is a big sister and my sister was one also. I think they would pretty much just go to the mall, the movies McDonalds etc.. Nowhere fancy or expensive. They would help with homework and just be there as someone to talk to.

I had a friend who did it, but the kid he was involved with was mentally ill and tried to stab him when they were at an event. Be careful who you hook with...

swedeace · 07-18-2005, 08:26 PM

No, but I think it would be much cooler than the real sister I currently have. I hate her! *shudders*

i had a Big Brother for a very short time when I was a kid - the waiting list back then was almost two years (no idea how bad it is now), i dont remember too much about him other than he was a truck driver and I was obsessed with BJ and the Bear.

i've always wanted to volunteer as a Big Brother, but havent really had a good opportunity...and I worry about being a bad influence and twisting little minds

I find that hard to believe seeing as how they are very very monitored in high risk cases, espeically if a child was in a case like that

I submitted my name... just waiting to see if they call back

The kid was kind of sharp, he could really fool you, but once you turned your back watch out. He had a Dr. Jeckel personality.
