Toxic TINA

I always put on a chatty happy front; I don't want anyone to guess about me being abused when I was younger. But underneath I can't get over feeling worthless and dirty. I spend most of my time alone in my bedroom playing music.

I started 'sniffing' because at the time it felt good, it made me forget about what happened for a bit. Afterwards though I felt so much worse, even more depressed and tired. It gave me headaches and I became forgetful.

While I was ‘high’ I would get lonely so I'd go out and flirt with guys to get some affection. One morning I woke up in someone else's bed, and they were in it too! I don't remember anything and I feel really bad now.

Think About It!

• What do you think happened?
• How could this one night affect the rest of her life?
• Where should Tina go for help?
