"Hello, my name is Kassie. I'm a 18-year old punk rocker who's been through a lot. My parents never understood me and always tried to control me. They forced me to go to church every Sunday even though I didn't believe in God. I hated it so much, but I couldn't do anything about it.
One day, when I was 16, my mom caught me smoking weed with my friends and she flipped out. She dragged me to a church retreat where they tried to "save" me from my sins. It was the worst week of my life. They brainwashed me into believing that I was going to hell for being gay, and that God hated me.
I couldn't take it anymore, so I ran away from home. I slept on the streets for a while until I met some other punk kids who took me in. We all lived together in a small apartment, and we did drugs and partied every night. It was the only way I knew how to cope with my pain.
But then things got worse. One of my friends overdosed on heroin, and it really hit me hard. I realized that I needed to change my life if I wanted to survive. So I went to rehab and tried to get clean. It wasn't easy, but I did it. Now I'm trying to build a new life for myself."
