Even though I got put out at 16, I had actually been in the streets so to speak since the age of 13. I have always looked older than what I was, going to clubs, and partying Thurs-Sun, quitting school, just didnt give a damn, but being put out at 16 and pregnant made me a stronger person. Had that not happened to me, I would probably not made it to 17 thus not be here today. So I am thankful for everything I have seen and been through in my life. ya same here , ive learned alot in life living in the streets and running with gangs god helps us al;l if we pay atention or not he always helps I didnt run with gangs and all, but I was hanging around several "Dope Boys", and you know, they honestly kind of helped take care of me. They would take me to my doctor appts. made sure I had food to eat, bought me clothes when I was pregnant, etc.... I dont live no where near the lifestyle I did back then, but I dont forget where I came from, and would NEVER allow my children to go through the things I went through. God gave me my son at 16, had him at 17, got my GED and my first, low income apt. at 17, put myself through college at 18-19, and began Managing the apts where we lived at 19, and so on...... Came a long way, and DAMN PROUD OF MYSELF AND THANK GOD DAILY!!!!! all the years i lived in the streets , i never did drugs i wish i could say that, every way possible to do drugs i did them sold them and got them and invented some also i did everything else in life , stoled , robbed , and everything else but never did drugs i guess im worse. i did all those drugs and also all the things you stated here Bad boy

You know, no one knows what one person or another has been through in their lives, but I will be the first to tell anyone my struggles!!! People see me today, and the very fortunate life that I am able to NOW provide for me and my 2 blessings, and would never guess that I was a high school drop out, or that I have a son that I dont know who his father is because I was date raped at 16, or that each and every day for MANY MANY years I did not get to see my son because I was working at Krystals by night, and in class by day, and slept in between. I feel as though my calling, so to speak, is to be a speaker for young teenage girls, open a non-profit organization for such. This is my passion, where my heart is. I feel I can help young women find their way when they are at a point that they dont know what to do. I have been there and done that, and survived, and they are not alone, and they need to know this. I do not judge anyone, under no circumstances and I raise my children to realize that we are very blessed, and never to judge anyone for what they have or dont have. There are reasons behind everything. Sorry so long! ya i never judge people either cause my life was'nt perfect growing up , i was a troubled teen who thought i knew it all . i was kidnapped when i was 15 for 9 months and went thru hell boy i can tell you guys some stories, but i dont judge either if it werent for god id be in prison or dead and i give him credit for it all the time, my life and me was and still are far far from perfect

You know what? All I was doing was taking interest in the conversation. I saw something on television about some people who live on the street. It's really a sad thing. I just wanted to hear some stories because I was genuinely interested in what you all had to say. But I guess I shouldn't have. Sorry if I offending anyone. I'll be leaving now. Good night.
