People always ask me this.

This is how it happened I first started working in the sex industry, it was everything but desired. I was manipulated and sometimes violently forced to do so. I was a minor around the age 13 or 14. My home life was too much for me and I thought that running away to be with my real mom would solve everything. It was there that i lost my virginity and 3 short days later a family member was telling me to sleep with this man for money. I had no where else to turn to. No resources and no more family. It was so this or starve. Shortly later my adopted parents did find me and they sent me away to boarding schools with promises that things at home would change. They didn’t. I was treated so poorly that I couldn’t take it and i left. I went back to the guy who popped my cherry, he was the only other connection I had other than family, since I wasn’t allowed to have friends and was very sheltered. He was a gang banger and was already 18. He took me to his friends house and that’s when the violence started. The woman that lived there was getting pimped on and they ganged up on me and forcibly showed me how to give blowjobs. I kept a little journal of all the times I had to sleep with another man. Eventually the Feds came and they both went to prison. At this point in my maturity I didn’t see the effects of living like that as traumatic since i was groomed by them and already used to violence. I continued to do my thing with the help of another man trying to make a dollar off me. This time I thought I was in love and that we were a team and that he was actually beneficial to my life. I was still underage and he too ended up in prison.
