Before I found Jesus Christ, I was a mess. I was insecure and depressed all the time. I had no self morals or control. I felt like an outcast, like nobody wanted me. I always got in trouble by my parents for things I didn’t do.
I eventually decided to become a ‘rebel’ and do the things my parents told me not to do, like date teenage boys at the age of twelve. The guy I was dating was 16 and he only wanted one thing…and he took that from me when I was in seventh grade, during after school cheer leading practice.
After I failed to accept what happened, I became an alcoholic and I hung out with the “cool” crowd.. (meaning the WRONG kind of people) and got drunk behind my parents’ back.
I was actually led to God this year when I started attending church, because my boyfriend (at that time) was going there. The relationship with that guy fell apart but my relationship with Jesus Christ is GOING STRONG!! And I have dropped all of my old habits!! I’m proud of that.
Just because my parents don’t know the things I’ve been through doesn’t mean I got away with it.. It just means I have to tell them and face the consequences one day.
And hey…
