But, somebody hear me out.

My grandma is a nice person. A GREAT person.

She lives near a bad part of town, and due to family connections and whatnot, she has become sort of a counselor for kids living in the nearby ghetto. That's all fine and dandy.

I guess, other than being selfish, my problem is this. She is constantly inviting these people into the house. I live with my Grandma for half of the year, so it's pretty much my home.

Most of these people, with the exception of two that I LOVE (aged 11, and aged 3), these kids are girls who are older teenagers.

I know my Grandma accepts them by counseling them, giving them money, and essentially being the good person in their life. She has a weakness for children who need help.

However, I hate the way they just walk into the house like they own it.  

Yesterday, one of the mothers of the children came. She's a crack addict, and all she does is come ask for money, and my Grandma gives it to her, because she has a young child.

Idk, I mean I understand what good my grandma is doing. But, she is letting people who SHOULD be able to fend for themselves take advantage of her.

And, she is letting bitchy teenage girls walk into our house, because they are "unfortunate".

Talk to her about it. She could get herself into trouble. People are already taking advantage, she could get hurt...

It's been three weeks since I had a decent sleep,
In an empty bed with a restless head,
These thoughts are killing me so...

You can talk to her about it, but it may not getting her anywhere.  She may be fully aware that they are really just using her, but at the same time, she may feel like at least she's doing her part in life.  I don't know what else your grandmother does, but this may be something that gives her a purpose.

But you can try talking to her about it and just letting her know you care about her and you don't want to see her taken advantage of.
