My name is Taliyah. I’m 14 years old. I live a horrible life filled with tons of pain. My mother died when I was 10 years old. Since then Marcus, My Dad, has been on drugs. He is now a boss of a gang. Men pay him money just so they can rape me, and he lets them. Sometimes when my friends are around they get raped too. They threatened if we tell someone, they’ll kill us. I stay away from home as much as I can. At school me and my 3 friends are bullied by almost everyone, but mostly by these 4 boys named Ray Ray Prodigy, Roc Royal, and Princeton. Everyday we wonder, Why Us? What did we do to deserve a horrible life? Did we do something wrong? We want someone to answer those questions, but we know no one can but God. Everyday it seems like it gets worser instead of better. Sometimes we even think about killing ourselves, but we don’t. Will anyone miss us? We don’t think so, but we stay alive for each other. That’s the reason we wake up every morning knowing that we have each other.
