These stories won't keep you from crossing the line. But they may help you see it a lot clearer.
And maybe even avoid it.

It started out as just drinking every other weekend. Then she lost her job and started drinking everynight. One night she came home drunk. So drunk she could hardly walk. I asked her when she left the house to go out. The only thing she did was hit me in the face. I ran to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. Then my mom busted in the bathroom and through me into the bathtub and hit me repeatedly. Broke one of my teeth, cut me up and I got a black eye. So, finally i had had enough. I packed some clothes and walked out my door one weekend night. I thought since my mom is at the bar she wouldn't notice that i was gone. I ran away. But i stayed in Sheridan. Where I live. My mom called the police and I was sent to the group home for a month. No friends, no one to talk to, and I couldn't see my own sister. Don't let someone else hurt you because they are drunk high or stoned. Bri Wright, 14 Sheridan Wyoming
