16, Muslim, at Harris County Youth Village, TX

5th July

I am Muslim. I read the Koran but I don’t pray five times a day and I don’t eat Kosher food. I live with my mom and three sisters. I’m not really supposed to be here. They say I’m a runaway but my mom kicked me out. I didn’t like going to school or listening to people and I smoke a lot of weed. It all started when I was 11 on the streets selling crack.

I got this tattoo last month, “Always and forever.” No, I didn’t realize the “and” sign is backwards! I’ve been here 2 weeks.
