I didn't know what the word dopefiend was until this crazy ess day. It was recess, and we were out playing on the playground. All of a sudden, all the kids just started gathering around the fence by the baseball field. I decided to go over there to see what all the fuss was about. They were pointing and laughing at this one lady in a tanktop and some beat up rock faded jeans. She was dancing around the sprinklers, strung out off of crack, . The principal came out first to tell the kids to stop making fun of her, but you know how kids are. The police had to come escort her off the baseball diamond, while kids were laughing. Meanwhile, my best friend Andre was crying in tears of embarrassment, but I can see, at the age of 10, that there was some deeper pain (To me, it felt like Andre was thinking, why she couldn't get off that stuff?). My training of thought at the time change from being a 4th grader to an adult comforting your best friend in a time of need. I was walking with my teacher Mrs.Lowe while he was crying. And right then and there, I knew the world wasn't fair. That experience opened a mental portal to me. That we don't all have the same families and lifestyles. So I ask you NT, whether you're from the suburbs, country, ghettos, or city, what made you lose your innocence as a kid?

My dude, you need to write screenplays...

...that was very vivid and hurtful to read - I don't know Andre from a can of paint, but I felt sorry for him.

no bull man
I like saw the whole thing in my head

At my cousins bday party..my aunt left the house so it was just us youngins (had to be like 8 maybe?) and my older cousin was to look after us.

She turned to a channel that was playing porn and we were all like

and just kept watching.

also....

Me and my cousin found this book with all types of vivid sex pictures and different positions in my single aunts room.
We use to sneak and look at it all the time whenever we were at her house and she left.

Also seeing my parents fight so much in front of us and me,my bro, and sis almost moving out one night with my mom because a bad argument.

Ain't that the truth.

People robbed me. Girls played me. Friends stabbed you in the back. Saw people get shot/stabbed.

And all of this happened before 6th grade.

How the hell were any of us expected to have any innocence about life?

Throughout it all though, I still grew up a kid at heart. And I find humor in almost everything.

That's all that matters to me...that no matter what happens, I can find humor in things and smile at the end of the day.

This pretty much sums it up for me. I never lived in the ghetto but I was around all of those things at an early age and some of them involvedpeople I was very close to so I felt I had to grow up quick when I was a kid.

 

[dabuddhawitjays]

Gun to my face.

Never had that happen and I've lived here all my life.

It's gonna be a fat christmas this year.

And a bad day, for that man if he ever decides to pull that #*** off again.

I would say my senior yr of HS when I caught my first gf with another dude...I had put the p on a pedestal up to that point...I had no clues girls could be sodirty with it...after that I approached them with only my gratification in mind
