  • Get a LIFE girl.. Get off the drugs & find some help & get away from the people that are NOT your friends... Drugs are not helping you in anyway, as you can see...

  • I’m happy to say this girl found her way and is a productive member of society now she has turned her life around and I’m proud of her ppl shouldn’t speak on ppl if they don’t know there stories so all the rude comments against her were uncalled for. Some individuals shouldn’t even speak maybe the world would be a better place if they learned some manners
