I was 17 and thought I was all that until I tried it once and I saw firsthand how it shattered a family. That's when I realized that I had made the biggest mistake of my life. It not only ruined my self esteem but it caused me great excruciating pain. I was a very angry person and I got caught up with people who I thought were my friends. They were only my friends when I was high and when I was not high they were never around and I was alone once again. All I can say is once I turned 19 I was done with that stuff and have never ever wanted to touch it again. I watched a coroner bring out a baby that was dead because of neglect and that changed my life forever. I said to myself, I will not be a 40 year-old meth addict that gets her kids taken away or brought out in body bags, so what I have to say is don't even do it once.
