I started using methamphetamines when I was 13 in Junior High, because all the kids would tease me about not using drugs. And finally one day I decided to try it. It was great at first and then slowly I got addicted and I've been addicted to meth for 4 years and I can't stop using it.
I started stealing my parents' money for meth when I would run out and I had to get high. And then I started to miss school to get high and then I got kicked out of my school for too many absences.
I started selling methamphetamines in high school to help pay for my addiction. I started getting into the wrong crowd of people. I got stabbed for making a bad deal with a man and I started making enemies.
