i used to be really into drugs and hanging out with the wrong people who didnt give a crap about me. i was sneaking out of the house, getting sent to alternitive school, taking my dads truck without my liscence... nor permit, skipping school, getting tickets for truencies, getting tickets for tabbacco products at school & for running from the cops (wich is a federal crime) i was depressed because i was always grounded and i felt like every where i went people were staring at me. i became self councious and all i wanted to do was sleep. i was failing school , doing drugs whenever i could get my hands on them, getting into fights, & haing sex with meaningless people.

i read a book called "STRATEGIES FOR TEENS"
it really helped me turn my life around before i was too far in to get out. i started going to church and im a strong believer in God. my grades are better then they have ever been and i LOVE spending time with my family. with out my parents helping me get on the right track id be no where. i thought they were the source of all my problems but they were relly the solution.

im thankful for who i am today and what i stand for. i have courage and self confidence in myself and that makes me have more faith in other people as well, wich leads to me having a happier life all around.
