REAL STORIES

Age: 16
Gender: Female

My whole life, I was surrounded by meth. Now of course I didn't want this. Who does? My mother was a Meth addict. At 4 years of age, my grandma saved me from a horrible life I lived with my mom. She had meth addict boyfriends who abused me and her. I always had to stand back and watch. They even used in front of me when I was only 4! She didn't always feed me, since she was never hungry. She figured I wasn't either. One day in particular, I remember she was spun off of this monster, and decided to punch me in the face. Let me remind you I was only 4 years old. When I was 15, I dated a guy who was a meth addict; only 15, also. I knew he used to smoke it, but I never thought he still used while with me. Little did I know, he did quite often. I felt completely oblivious. He was sent in and out of rehab. He lied and manipulated as much as possible. He was always in trouble with the law. He's gone for a very long time and I miss the person he used to be. Meth is an awful, pitiful drug that I personally wish never existed! It truly RUINS people's lives. I never tried it, and never will. It has had a big impact in my life, without me using. Please, do not try it even once. It will mess you up...forever.
