Amerie liked to think she was a pretty average teenager. She worked hard but made time for fun. She smoked a little, drank a little, and made poor decisions. One of which ended in more pain and tears than any other experience. ------------------------------------- This story is based in truth. It is a retelling of my experience as a teenager dating an adult. All names are changed for privacy reasons. I hope if you are struggling, this will help you know you aren't alone. Grooming is never okay; I didn't know at the time, and I don't think it was intentional but that is part of what I experienced. Please reach out for help if you are experiencing something similar. Asking for help shows strength and courage, not weakness.
