Age 11 found out life really isn’t that great,
Age 12 ran away from a rape,
Age 13 became less bright and cute,
Age 14 tried my very fist zoot,
Age 15 started drinking and became wild,
Age 16 got pregnant and lost my first child,
Age 17 tried to turn my life around,
Age 18 here I am soon to be buried deep into the ground.
No child should have to go through this, this is what leads to self-harm and suicide and worst of all depression.

Wow. That’s a jam packed life you’re living. I can’t wait to read ages 19 – 82.
We have a lot in common dont we? Hope things get better, im also 18, a little mad , but still having hope
marz,
A child I know went through a similar start….
and at 21 moved herself to a new city, where no one knew her to get a new start.
At 23 had a beautiful baby.
At 27 had two more beautiful babies.
At 30 learned a new career….
Point being, there’s always more. 18 should never be an end – it’s an age where you could really begin.
