I first tried Meth at 15 or 16 and did it every once in a while - then became very addicted at 17. Once a 3.5 GPA cheerleader, I quickly became a person hiding in the bathroom doing lines. Everyone in school called me a whore, and I believed them and it showed from my Meth addiction. I went to rehab at 17 and have not touched it since. The week before I left, I was up for 7 days weighing 75 pounds with a tongue so swollen from dehydration I could not fit it in my mouth. Now at 22, I still struggle with the habits that came along with it, along with the occasional shakes and a mental obsession to use it. If you quit or use it, I would suggest not hiding it from people because that can be just as destructive.
