I basically raised myself. My father was never around and my mom was there but not really there. Catch my drift?.. She had her bad habits and I came accustom to mine. By the age of 11 I was already doing things I wasn't suppose to be doing. OR even thinking of. The streets had a part on it. But I think i did a pretty good job at raising myself, because here I am. 17, a high school graduate, not pregnant and im doing the best I can to stay sane.
