Megan 's MP3	N/A	N/A

I started doing drugs and getting into trouble at the age of 15. By the time I was 16 I was already in and out of juvenile detention. It took three times in juvi to make me realize that I can't keep doing what I was doing. I'm almost 19 now and I have been out of juvi and sober for one year and seven months. I have completely changed my life for the better. I'm in school and graduating at the end of May. I don't hang out with any of the same people. All of you can do this. I had to make the decision to change my life juvi cant do that for you, it can just help you realize something is wrong with what you are doing.
