You hear the talk, but you really don't believe it -

This is just plain scary.

I'm tempted to put this behind a cut - but only tempted. It's pretty ugly.

Nope.

Hello, I'm 32 years old. I'm a drug user and a prostitute:



Hello, this is me, less than ten years later - at age 41:



Here's the link.

Holy chrome. I'm going to be 45, and all I have to complain about is two sets of glasses.

Well, you know what they say about little crack fantasies....

Even in the first picture, she looks much older than 32. I imagine it's the drugs mostly. When jazz musician Charlie Parker died, he was 35. The coroner estimated his age to be 55, and it was from heart failure (a result from his constant abuse of heroin and alcohol).

I do not know enough about the effects of prostitution to make a judgement call, which is why I won't say anything about it. But man!!!!

Looks like she's lost a lot of top molars, too. That'll suck in the face and make it look ancient.

Poor thing. Addiction is horrible.

Oh, and her early photos, she looks like Courtney Love. I just perused them again.

I've seen this first hand. Girl that used to come into the 7-11 where I worked. At 16 she was a beauty, but by 18 she was looking like a hard-rode 35. Heroin and hooking. Another girl that lived right by another mini-mart I worked at, same deal but with her no hooking, but it was meth she used. Met her when she was 14. By 24 she was looking older than me.
(I'm 15 years older)
It's scary, huh?

Meth is the absolute worst. I've known lots of people who have managed to quit coke and heroine and once they got past the detox they suffered no long-term effects. The damage from meth is permanent.

See, this is the kind of stuff they need to tell you in junior high health class. Speed will give you zits and make you fat for the rest of your life. Hard drugs? You'll look like this.

Screw liver damage and addiction; teenagers aren't scared of that crap. Ugliness, that will do it.

I remember perusing a copy of the anarchist's cookbook (it's college, they're around) and, out of a book entirely devoted to telling you how to grow weed, make your own drugs, destroy things, etc., the entry on heroin basically said, "This stuff is scary shit and i'm not going to tell you how to make it. If you're really interested, go to [X place] and look at the people there and you will see much it fucks people up."

Of course, that was an old copy of the book, so it didn't cover some of the newer stuff. but still.

it always seemed to me that if you wanted to keep kids off drugs, pictures like these would be your best options--likewise, pictures of diseased genetalia to make them use condoms/not have sex, whatever. Way better than eggs in a frying pan.

Ugghh... :( I've seen something like this before. They should advertise her transition on every pack of not just drugs, but cigarettes.

Thank you for this!

GEEEEEZ...

I'm 34. She looks ten years older than me in her youngest picture.

She looks older than my parents in the older picture.

My granny looks better than that without her teeth in. And she's 85.
