A Mistake I Wish I Could Take Back

Where should I even begin...When I was in the 7th grade (I'm in the 12th now) I noticed my life started to go down hill..I hung out with the wrong crowd, started not to care about school. I began to see myself giving up. That's when my drug problem all began. Smoking pot, doing cocaine, ecstacy,pills, and acid..

Years went on and I was still in school, as I entered the 9th grade I seen my life still heading in the wrong direction. Went to parties every weekend not listening to my parents. I decided to take ecstacy at a party on a Friday night, also got caught on it by my parents.

I seen they were beginning to get strict on me so the next weekend I came up with a huge lie to go out. They didn't know I was going to a party. I said I would be home by 1 am..I was way too messed up on drugs and also drinking way too much. That's when I said I would not go home.

I was house hopping for the next week. I had luck then, right when I would leave someone's house my parents would show up. Posters were up of me, cops had my picture. I ran out of places to stay, I ended up sleeping on a gulf course. No foo,d no water, the next night slept at a community pool.

About a week later I got caught by police. I was scared to go home, my drug problem was worse. It took time for things to go back to normal but I had to just give it time.

About a month later things were back to normal. To this day I regret running away, it changed alot in my life, also with my parents. I ran away for the drugs, it was all the drugs running my life. I thank myself to this day I am at home, I have found an awesome boyfriend and have been with him for a year. My advice is don't do drugs, they can ruin you and once you start its hard to stop, believe me I 've done them for over 5 years, and I 'm currently still addicted to cocaine and pot and ecstacy.
