While I appreciate Madeline's offer to take me in and be my
'guardian' I would like to address how absolutely nonsensical this rule is.
I understand it is meant to be a safety precautions for the younger ones, I question; How is it safe to be living with a stranger? We are in a place we do not know. How are we unaware someone who offers to sign the paperwork and allows us to live in their home is not a psychopath or sociopath for that matter?
It is not safe, nor effective. Is there a background check for those willing to be guardians? I think not.
Also, I'd like to address those who are underage but are very capable of taking care of ourselves and do so at home. I, personally, lived on my own, despite being the age of sixteen. My company now consists of Liz and Patty, but I feel I am more
their guardian, than vice versa. We are the same age, and we manage perfectly well on our own.
I cannot imagine there is a substantial amount of people over the age of twenty-one who are willing to let a stranger enter their home and live with them. Save it for the actual children here, and those who find themselves
needing a guardian, instead of having one forced upon them. Unless you intend to force every twenty-one and over person to take on a ward, or those who are willing to take on multiple, I cannot see how this works anywhere near properly, and even if those rules were enforced, it'd be entirely unfair to all three parties.
Obviously, my word will not mean much, given that I am merely a
'child' but I could not sit back and let it go unsaid.
