Sister P heard the story, she is a victim of her environment. Heard the viewers response tonight on NPR there are lots of others just like her out there. Is this a cultural thing or a teenage/young adult thing? I must admit that I have more shoes and clothes than I can wear in a lifetime and I still buy more. That is why parents/village is so important. Maybe it is time for us as a community to come up with something else that does not make us look poor
