I remember in 6th grade I hung out with a really sweet girl. She had everything! A mom that loved her, a nice house and amazing friends. When we got into 8th grade I started losing contact with her and I started to hang out with a different group. Within the first few months of 8th grade she had started smoking and drinking. Then when we started high school I remember her coming to school with scratches on her arms and face and she ditched more than half her classes. Thatıs when i realized that she was on meth. She had moved out from her moms house and i would hear guys talking about how she was sleeping around with older guys. I think back to when me and her used to go to the pool together in 6th grade and how we were so innocent. I wonder what could have went wrong to make her resort to meth. She has gotten so bad into it that nobody can even help her, she doesn't listen. Hopefully one day she will be able to recover!
