My Life, My Voice, My Words

Melanie was always a happy girl who faced each day with a positive attitude. She spent most of her time at church with family & friends. She thought her life was perfect until she saw how much fun the other girls her age were having. Her life was boring compared to theirs.

 

She thought she was missing out on something, and she wanted to experience joy too. So she headed out into the world and met an older man who turned her world upside down. She wasn't mature enough to know that he was only using her for what was between her legs and that men like him took pleasure in preying on young girls like her.

 

Melanie has been through things no young adult should ever have to experience. She experienced abusive relationships, watched her child's father take his last breath, and has suffered depression multiple times. She felt alone and craved attention, so she searched the internet for sex. Being in church, she knew with prayer and faith; things could change. But will she turn to God in her time of need, or will it be too late?
