Beastly 15th April 2011
I first heard about Beastly months ago whilst watching movie trailers on
YouTube and ever since Irsquove been counting down the days until its release
It is a modern day more grown-up takes on the story Beauty and the
Beast Kyle Kingson (played by Wild Child Alex Pettyfer) is arrogant
attractive and popular and takes his fortunes for granted He is used to
teasing others and using his power but one day he crosses Kendra (a
spooky Mary-Kate Olsen) by standing her up and making her look like a
fool but this time the jokersquos on him Kendra casts a spell on Kingson
turning him beastly The spell can only be broken when he finds true love
a person who sees him for whatrsquos on the inside With only a kind
housekeeper (Lisa Gay Hamilton) and blind tutor (Neil Patrick Harris
famous for the hilarious Barney in How I Met Your Mother) for company
things look pretty bleak One day though he helps a drug addict out of
trouble with his drug dealer and in return for this favor asks for his
daughter (high school musicalrsquos Venessa Hudgens) to stay with him Will
she be able to see past the flesh that hides his heart
Music
Pink Greatest HitshellipSo Far
Okay so itrsquos not exactly new but this
fabulous greatest hits album includes
2 brand new songs and an extra DVD
of music videos and the album cover
photo shoot
These songs will bring back deep
memories and remind us all of why
Pnk is such a great singer She so
honestly sings of the hard times she
has had Donrsquot delay- go and pick up a
copy
TV
Waterloo Road Wednesdays 9pm
After the disjointedness of the last series (honestly who bothered to catch up with what
was happening) it is a relief to have it back again all new and shiny A new addition
to the gang is George Sampson I am a little confused as to what he is doing but after
a summer in Street Dance he is now trying an acting career
Hopefully this series will bring more drama more tragedy and more hot guys

DEAR HELEN
I have had this problem for
about 3 weeks really
Recently Irsquove tried to run
away 3 times My
grandfather died a few
weeks ago and ever since
then I just havenrsquot felt the
same I talked to teachers
about it but all they do is
put me in counseling and I
hated it in fact it made me
want to leave even more I
go to school in London and
no one at school talks to me
My best friend is my cousin
Jenny My grandfather was
all I had now I just donrsquot see
the point in living Jenny told
me to write to you because
she told me you would be
the only one who would
know how to help me
Shauna 14
DEAR HELEN
I just came to my new
school feeling quite
confident about my body
but then everyone told me
that I was either lsquochubbyrsquo or
just plain fat I told my mum
and she told me that I am
fine What should I do Who
should I listen to
Jenny 13
DEAR HELEN
I only found out a few weeks
ago that all of my friends
smoke marijuana I was with
them before class one time-
and they offered me some I
said no but now they refuse
to be seen with me or even
talk to me- what should I
do
Mary Jane 14

Dear Shauna
I understand it must be hard for you
having lost someone and you may feel
very alone right now but try to think
about how your grandad would feel if
he knew how upset you were and also
your family They have just been
through a loss of one of their family
members and Irsquom sure they would all
miss you Counseling isnrsquot always the
way to solve peoplersquos problems You
have to take into account that the
death wasnrsquot your fault running away
wonrsquot bring your grandad back Irsquom
sure he would want you to remember
the good things about him when he
was alive and not to be sad Talk to
you cousin maybe she feels the same
way and has a better way of dealing
with it Everyone has different coping
strategies and running away isnrsquot
going to help anyone and especially
not you You canrsquot run away from life
or yoursquoll be running forever If you are
still having problems try talking to the
Samaritans They help people who are
having problems like this all the time
and theyrsquoll have plenty of good advice
for you
Helen x
Dear Jenny
The most important thing is that you
are confident Everyone is different
in one way or another and people
who treat you differently for the way
you look just arenrsquot worth talking to
Anyway Irsquove heard from a good deal
of males out there that they prefer
someone with a bit more flesh on
them to someone whorsquos stick thin
You should definitely listen to your
mum if you do feel like you need to
lose weight just start cutting down
on a few snacks but donrsquot do
anything extreme Crash dieting and
excessive dieting is bad for everyone
and itrsquos proven that the average
women puts on twice the weight she
loses from dieting I think itrsquos
fantastic that you are quite
confident with your body and you
shouldnrsquot let anything or anyone
change that Hope this helps

Dear Mary Jane
If your friends are refusing to be seen
with you because you donrsquot smoke pot
then they arenrsquot worth it Marijuana
or weed as it is more commonly
known can have serious effects on
your mental health and is not
beneficially to your brain Yes it can
make you feel more relaxed but itrsquos
also illegal Your friends are probably
going through a rebellious phase
when they think theyre cool when
really they are just being stupid
Wasting their money and causing
themselves harm If you have any
concerns about Cannabis then you can
look at Frank a company that are
trying to educate people about the
effects of drugs and alcohol abuse
They may think it helps them have fun
but if your friends canrsquot just have fun
without drugs then your friends are
not very interesting people You
should try talking to more sensible
fun and intelligent people Your
friends are just being silly and not
looking after themselves and
subsequently offering you is also them
trying to harm you although they may
not realize it yet

lsquoDRUGS ARENrsquoT
COOL- I
LEARNT THAT
THE HARD
WAYrsquo
The HISTORY
Let me take you back about 5
months ago it was spring term
and I was 13 years old I was
attending an all girls private
school in London it was a good
school and I had a great group
of friends After school we
would go to Hyde Park and hang
out with other school kids
trying to pull some guys
This particular afternoon one of
my friends had bought a pack of
cigarettes I was shocked as she
handed them round and all my
friends took one and lit up I 26
FIZZLE KICKS Real Life Stories
Names and pictures are changed to protect identities
was disgusted I couldnrsquot believe
they were like that Of course I was
just looking out for them but I
lectured and nagged about how bad it
was and that they would all grow up
and get cancer I wasnrsquot going to
hang out with them if they were
smoking so I marched home early and
didnrsquot call them or talk to them for
the whole weekend which was silly
because I was just punishing myself
I thought they would come round but
as the hours lengthened I knew that I
had to choose I didnrsquot want to lose
my friends and the only way I could
see that happening was if I did
something really cool So I decided
to pull a few strings and I got my
hands on a fake ID The next day at
school I showed it off and everyone
practically bowed down to me I was
now buying cigarettes for almost all
the under ages in the school
The next month I was 14 and as the
park was a bit young for us we were
going to try pubs With our fake IDrsquos
at the ready we went
round all the pubs in the area
meeting older guys and mucking
around We were offered a joint (you
could smoke inside back then) by
some boys a bit older and when we
took it we felt so cool It felt
better than smoking and we didnrsquot
exactly think of weed as a drug I
was failing in school also I felt
like a real rebel then
The hole got DEEPER
Before I knew it was my best friendrsquos
birthday and she decided we should
all go clubbing We planned our night
out weeks in advance We organized
outfits and fake names and ages
excuses everything As we cued up to
get in the adrenaline pumped around
my body and I nervously looked this
way and that Would the bouncer
realize I was just 14
We got to the door and hey presto the
rope was lifted and we entered The
heat hit me and the music resounded
in my bones
I was nervous at first but after a
few margaritas I was more than
confident This one guy who had been
watching us all night came up to my
friend and me He took out some white
powder from his pocket and asked if we
wanted a pick me up
My friends all said yes so I just went
along to the loo with them I didnrsquot want
to get left out So there we were snorting
coke off the toilet lid I felt amazing
the best I have ever felt in my life So
this was what all the fuss was about
drugs were brilliant In the morning I
woke up with a splitting headache moving
an inch felt like dragging a ton of bricks for a mile but it was worth it After that
night we met up with the same guy a couple
more times and he introduced us to his
drug dealer so that we could get the
cocaine direct
Somehow I was always the one who went to
the drug dealer with my friendrsquos money to
get the cocaine I wasnrsquot scared of him
because he was a schoolboy just a little
older than me and I had already met some
of his friends The more I took it the
more I needed of it I would buy the coke
with the money they gave me but I wouldnrsquot
give them the drugs I had bought with it
that was for me I gave them my own mix
with just a sprinkle of what they should
have been getting
I never felt guilty about my actions
this wasnrsquot stealing cheating or lying-
this was looking out for my friends It
wouldnrsquot have been right for me to watch
them damage their bodies The drugs worked
differently for me because I was stronger
than them Soon I stopped hanging out with
the people who I had first started smoking
with and moved onto a completely different
bunch of people who were so much cooler
ldquoTHE TOASTER SHATTERED ON
HER HEAD AND I RANrdquo
As the months passed I had practically
left school and money was running low
When I asked my parents they would say no
I think they knew I had a problem and they
confronted me about it I promised I would
stop but how dare they take away my money
and freedom I was a teenager I needed
fun I got desperate for more soon if my
parents wouldnrsquot give me money I would
steal it Money and goods went missing
from the house and I grew anxious that m
parents were on to me
One day my mum came downstairs and saw
me riffling through her purse She
looked heartbroken when she saw me I
was in debt with my dealer but I needed
one more kick just one more
ldquoYou promised you would stop Put the
money back for goodness sakerdquo Damn she
was going to kill me I needed this shot
first though so I grabbed the nearest
thing to me and threw it The toaster
shattered on her skull and I ran
The EPIPHANY
After that I was banned from the house
and my family refused contact with me I
had a little brother he still doesnrsquot
talk to me now I went from friendrsquos
house to friendrsquos house getting kicked
out by their parents again and again
and stealing and sneaking to get more
coke I was on the last friendly place
in my address book when I was
confronted
ldquoIf you want to stay here any longer
then you have to stop My parents say
that the next thing you do your out Irsquom
sorry but yoursquove changed so much
Yoursquore moody and hang out with the cool
people and the drug dealers I donrsquot
even know who you arerdquo I will never
forget those words That hit me hard and
I felt low all day I just needed one
more line How much harm can one line
do
I was staggering down my dealers road
when a dark figure confronted me
ldquoYou owe me big time I want the money
back nowrdquo
I explained to him how sorry I was but
my parents had kicked me out and I was
staying with friends I would have his
money if he gave me a couple of weeks
ldquoHE USED MY HEAD AS A
FOOTBALLrdquo
ldquoNo I want it now yoursquore going to
give it to me nowrdquo Suddenly a big car
pulled up a man got out of it and
pushed me to the ground repeatedly
kicking me in the head I was nearly
unconscious but I can clearly remember
what happened next My drug dealer a man I thought
was the only one looking out and caring for me
raped me that night
Somehow I woke up in hospital No one visited me
because I had turned everyone I had ever loved
against me no one but myself was to blame for what
had happened I was discharged from hospital but I
didnrsquot have anything but the clothes on my back
There I was on a park bench bruises and cuts
another homeless person stinking and begging I had
never been so scared in my life
I now had two options call my mum and beg for
forgiveness or steal some money and get high I sat
there for a long time hesitant about both ideas
but thankfully I decided to call my mum She was
there in twenty minutes which just about gave me
enough time to think about what I would do when I
got home I was depressed and so I was going to
need to borrow some money for some more gear
I got in the car but instead of heading home we
went to another part of town straight to rehab
If I had learnt anything from gossip mags it was
that rehab was like a hotel you went in slept in
a clean environment and went out Soon I would be
back on the good stuff and with my familyrsquos money
to support me
Three months later and I was still there working
hard learning how to take care of myself It was
weird I never realized all I had forgotten taking
a shower brushing my teeth getting dressed in
clean clothes My parents were running out of money
though and had to take me out I took more drugs
and was admitted back I left again but eventually
gave into drugs You learn from your mistakes but
drugs are different you are not you anymore
Irsquom clean now I have friends and family who love
and trust me and I recently started dating That
takes a lot of confidence because when most people
hear about my past they flinch and judge me but
Irsquom not that person With no qualifications I canrsquot
fulfill my childhood dreams or be the best I could
of been when I was twelve but this is the new me
my new life I still have brain damage I always
will but I am able to function and share my
experiences with other people I wish I had
listened I wish someone had shown me what my life
would become I wish I had known that drugs werenrsquot
cool

FIZZLE KICKS Shop My Look
Designs Devonrsquos FK What made you dress so uniquely
Devon Erm I donrsquot really know I just hate
looking like everybody else I Love to look
fashionable and try new styles out
FK What are your favorite clothing boutiques
Devon I love to shop in places like Portobello
market and around there And also I like to go
to charity shops because itrsquos basically vintage
but itrsquos so much cheaper I also love the
ordinary high street shops like top shop and
new look
FK Have you ever been asked to model Do you
want to model
Devon Yeah I have been asked to model
actually- when I went to a gig in Camden But
at the time unfortunately I was far too young
I donrsquot really know I donrsquot think I would like
too because itrsquos way too pressurizing
FK What would you like to be if not a
fashion designerboutique owner etc
Devon I would like to be a fashion journalist
or work in a magazine to do with fashion maybe
not designing clothes but working on a catwalk
and dressing models and stuff
FK What is the best compliment you have ever
received on your outfit
Devon Uhm
sbquoYou look nice‛
I donrsquot know (lol)
FK Do you think you have style Are you
confident about that
Devon I like fashion so much that I guess I am
confident in it I love to dress and I hate
looking normal
FK What inspires your sassy style
Devon I take so much inspiration from fashion
websites like look book a lot flipping through
magazines and even when I see people walking
down the street
FK Do you ever worry about your sizes How do
you keep fit and keep in shape
Devon Well I do so many team sports like
hockey or netball When I am at home I
sometimes go on a quick job or something but
I absolutely hate going to the gym
FK What influences your style
Devon Quite a few people but mostly
Celebrities especially those who have amazing
dress sense like Alexa Chung But I have to
say I prefer English people and their style way
more than Americans mostly because I think
British people are more original than Americans
FK Have you ever considered fashion designing
Devon OMG Yeah I have But I am more interested
in just getting into the fashion industry
because designing is way harder to get into and
is too competitive for me
FK Do you make your own designs
Devon Yeah sometimes But itrsquos more like a
trial and error kind of thing because most of
them go so wrong hahaha
FK Do you have any tips for anyone to look as
fab as you do
Devon Just be yourself And feel confident in
what you wear
ldquoI love to
dress up why
not dress to
impressrdquo

Beastly 15th April 2011
I first heard about Beastly months ago whilst watching movie trailers on
YouTube and ever since Irsquove been counting down the days until its release
It is a modern day more grown-up takes on the story Beauty and the
Beast Kyle Kingson (played by Wild Child Alex Pettyfer) is arrogant
attractive and popular and takes his fortunes for granted He is used to
teasing others and using his power but one day he crosses Kendra (a
spooky Mary-Kate Olsen) by standing her up and making her look like a
fool but this time the jokersquos on him Kendra casts a spell on Kingson
turning him beastly The spell can only be broken when he finds true love
a person who sees him for whatrsquos on the inside With only a kind
housekeeper (Lisa Gay Hamilton) and blind tutor (Neil Patrick Harris
famous for the hilarious Barney in How I Met Your Mother) for company
things look pretty bleak One day though he helps a drug addict out of
trouble with his drug dealer and in return for this favor asks for his
daughter (high school musicalrsquos Venessa Hudgens) to stay with him Will
she be able to see past the flesh that hides his heart
Music
Pink Greatest HitshellipSo Far
Okay so itrsquos not exactly new but this
fabulous greatest hits album includes
2 brand new songs and an extra DVD
of music videos and the album cover

These songs will bring back deep
memories and remind us all of why

TV
Waterloo Road Wednesdays 9pm
After the disjointedness of the last series (honestly who bothered to catch up with what
was happening) it is a relief to have it back again all new and shiny A new addition
to the gang is George Sampson I am a little confused as to what he is doing but after
a summer in Street Dance he is now trying an acting career
Hopefully this series will bring more drama more tragedy and more hot guys

DEAR HELEN
I have had this problem for
about 3 weeks really
Recently Irsquove tried to run
away 3 times My
grandfather died a few
weeks ago and ever since
then I just havenrsquot felt the
same I talked to teachers
about it but all they do is
put me in counseling and I
hated it in fact it made me
want to leave even more I
go to school in London and
no one at school talks to me
My best friend is my cousin
Jenny My grandfather was
all I had now I just donrsquot see
the point in living Jenny told
me to write to you because
she told me you would be
the only one who would
know how to help me

DEAR HELEN
I just came to my new
school feeling quite
confident about my body
but then everyone told me
that I was either lsquochubbyrsquo or
just plain fat I told my mum
and she told me that I am
fine What should I do Who
should I listen to
Jenny 13
DEAR HELEN
I only found out a few weeks
ago that all of my friends
smoke marijuana I was with
them before class one time-
and they offered me some I
said no but now they refuse
to be seen with me or even
talk to me- what should I
do

Dear Shauna
I understand it must be hard for you
having lost someone and you may feel
very alone right now but try to think
about how your grandad would feel if
he knew how upset you were and also
your family They have just been
through a loss of one of their family
members and Irsquom sure they would all
miss you Counseling isnrsquot always the
way to solve peoplersquos problems You
have to take into account that the
death wasnrsquot your fault running away
wonrsquot bring your grandad back Irsquom
sure he would want you to remember
the good things about him when he
was alive and not to be sad Talk to
you cousin maybe she feels the same
way and has a better way of dealing
with it Everyone has different coping
strategies and running away isnrsquot
going to help anyone and especially
not you You canrsquot run away from life
or yoursquoll be running forever If you are
still having problems try talking to the
Samaritans They help people who are
having problems like this all the time
and theyrsquoll have plenty of good advice
for you

Dear Jenny
The most important thing is that you
are confident Everyone is different
in one way or another and people
who treat you differently for the way
you look just arenrsquot worth talking to
Anyway Irsquove heard from a good deal
of males out there that they prefer
someone with a bit more flesh on
them to someone whorsquos stick thin
You should definitely listen to your
mum if you do feel like you need to
lose weight just start cutting down
on a few snacks but donrsquot do
anything extreme Crash dieting and
excessive dieting is bad for everyone
and itrsquos proven that the average
women puts on twice the weight she
loses from dieting I think itrsquos
fantastic that you are quite
confident with your body and you
shouldnrsquot let anything or anyone
change that Hope this helps

Dear Mary Jane
If your friends are refusing to be seen
with you because you donrsquot smoke pot
then they arenrsquot worth it Marijuana
or weed as it is more commonly
known can have serious effects on
your mental health and is not
beneficially to your brain Yes it can
make you feel more relaxed but itrsquos
also illegal Your friends are probably
going through a rebellious phase
when they think theyre cool when
really they are just being stupid
Wasting their money and causing
themselves harm If you have any
concerns about Cannabis then you can
look at Frank a company that are
trying to educate people about the
effects of drugs and alcohol abuse
They may think it helps them have fun
but if your friends canrsquot just have fun
without drugs then your friends are
not very interesting people You
should try talking to more sensible
fun and intelligent people Your
friends are just being silly and not
looking after themselves and
subsequently offering you is also them
trying to harm you although they may
not realize it yet

lsquoDRUGS ARENrsquoT
COOL- I
LEARNT THAT
THE HARD
WAYrsquo
The HISTORY
Let me take you back about 5
months ago it was spring term
and I was 13 years old I was
attending an all girls private
school in London it was a good
school and I had a great group
of friends After school we
would go to Hyde Park and hang
out with other school kids
trying to pull some guys
This particular afternoon one of
my friends had bought a pack of
cigarettes I was shocked as she
handed them round and all my
friends took one and lit up I 26
FIZZLE KICKS Real Life Stories
Names and pictures are changed to protect identities
was disgusted I couldnrsquot believe
they were like that Of course I was
just looking out for them but I
lectured and nagged about how bad it
was and that they would all grow up
and get cancer I wasnrsquot going to
hang out with them if they were
smoking so I marched home early and
didnrsquot call them or talk to them for
the whole weekend which was silly
because I was just punishing myself
I thought they would come round but
as the hours lengthened I knew that I
had to choose I didnrsquot want to lose
my friends and the only way I could
see that happening was if I did
something really cool So I decided
to pull a few strings and I got my
hands on a fake ID The next day at
school I showed it off and everyone
practically bowed down to me I was
now buying cigarettes for almost all
the under ages in the school
The next month I was 14 and as the
park was a bit young for us we were
going to try pubs With our fake IDrsquos
at the ready we went
round all the pubs in the area
meeting older guys and mucking
around We were offered a joint (you
could smoke inside back then) by
some boys a bit older and when we
took it we felt so cool It felt
better than smoking and we didnrsquot
exactly think of weed as a drug I
was failing in school also I felt
like a real rebel then
The hole got DEEPER
Before I knew it was my best friendrsquos
birthday and she decided we should
all go clubbing We planned our night
out weeks in advance We organized
outfits and fake names and ages
excuses everything As we cued up to
get in the adrenaline pumped around
my body and I nervously looked this
way and that Would the bouncer
realize I was just 14
We got to the door and hey presto the
rope was lifted and we entered The
heat hit me and the music resounded
in my bones
I was nervous at first but after a
few margaritas I was more than
confident This one guy who had been
watching us all night came up to my
friend and me He took out some white
powder from his pocket and asked if we
wanted a pick me up
My friends all said yes so I just went
along to the loo with them I didnrsquot want
to get left out So there we were snorting
coke off the toilet lid I felt amazing
the best I have ever felt in my life So
this was what all the fuss was about
drugs were brilliant In the morning I
woke up with a splitting headache moving
an inch felt like dragging a ton of bricks for a mile but it was worth it After that
night we met up with the same guy a couple
more times and he introduced us to his
drug dealer so that we could get the
cocaine direct
Somehow I was always the one who went to
the drug dealer with my friendrsquos money to
get the cocaine I wasnrsquot scared of him
because he was a schoolboy just a little
older than me and I had already met some
of his friends The more I took it the
more I needed of it I would buy the coke
with the money they gave me but I wouldnrsquot
give them the drugs I had bought with it
that was for me I gave them my own mix
with just a sprinkle of what they should
have been getting
I never felt guilty about my actions
this wasnrsquot stealing cheating or lying-
this was looking out for my friends It
wouldnrsquot have been right for me to watch
them damage their bodies The drugs worked
differently for me because I was stronger
than them Soon I stopped hanging out with
the people who I had first started smoking
with and moved onto a completely different
bunch of people who were so much cooler
ldquoTHE TOASTER SHATTERED ON
HER HEAD AND I RANrdquo
As the months passed I had practically
left school and money was running low
When I asked my parents they would say no
I think they knew I had a problem and they
confronted me about it I promised I would
stop but how dare they take away my money
and freedom I was a teenager I needed
fun I got desperate for more soon if my
parents wouldnrsquot give me money I would
steal it Money and goods went missing
from the house and I grew anxious that m
parents were on to me
One day my mum came downstairs and saw
me riffling through her purse She
looked heartbroken when she saw me I
was in debt with my dealer but I needed
one more kick just one more
ldquoYou promised you would stop Put the
money back for goodness sakerdquo Damn she
was going to kill me I needed this shot
first though so I grabbed the nearest
thing to me and threw it The toaster
shattered on her skull and I ran
The EPIPHANY
After that I was banned from the house
and my family refused contact with me I
had a little brother he still doesnrsquot
talk to me now I went from friendrsquos
house to friendrsquos house getting kicked
out by their parents again and again
and stealing and sneaking to get more
coke I was on the last friendly place
in my address book when I was
confronted
ldquoIf you want to stay here any longer
then you have to stop My parents say
that the next thing you do your out Irsquom
sorry but yoursquove changed so much
Yoursquore moody and hang out with the cool
people and the drug dealers I donrsquot
even know who you arerdquo I will never
forget those words That hit me hard and
I felt low all day I just needed one
more line How much harm can one line
do
I was staggering down my dealers road
when a dark figure confronted me
ldquoYou owe me big time I want the money
back nowrdquo
I explained to him how sorry I was but
my parents had kicked me out and I was
staying with friends I would have his
money if he gave me a couple of weeks
ldquoHE USED MY HEAD AS A
FOOTBALLrdquo
ldquoNo I want it now yoursquore going to
give it to me nowrdquo Suddenly a big car
pulled up a man got out of it and
pushed me to the ground repeatedly
kicking me in the head I was nearly
unconscious but I can clearly remember
what happened next My drug dealer a man I thought
was the only one looking out and caring for me
raped me that night
Somehow I woke up in hospital No one visited me
because I had turned everyone I had ever loved
against me no one but myself was to blame for what
had happened I was discharged from hospital but I
didnrsquot have anything but the clothes on my back
There I was on a park bench bruises and cuts
another homeless person stinking and begging I had
never been so scared in my life
I now had two options call my mum and beg for
forgiveness or steal some money and get high I sat
there for a long time hesitant about both ideas
but thankfully I decided to call my mum She was
there in twenty minutes which just about gave me
enough time to think about what I would do when I
got home I was depressed and so I was going to
need to borrow some money for some more gear
I got in the car but instead of heading home we
went to another part of town straight to rehab
If I had learnt anything from gossip mags it was
that rehab was like a hotel you went in slept in
a clean environment and went out Soon I would be
back on the good stuff and with my familyrsquos money
to support me
Three months later and I was still there working
hard learning how to take care of myself It was
weird I never realized all I had forgotten taking
a shower brushing my teeth getting dressed in
clean clothes My parents were running out of money
though and had to take me out I took more drugs
and was admitted back I left again but eventually
gave into drugs You learn from your mistakes but
drugs are different you are not you anymore
Irsquom clean now I have friends and family who love
and trust me and I recently started dating That
takes a lot of confidence because when most people
hear about my past they flinch and judge me but
Irsquom not that person With no qualifications I canrsquot
fulfill my childhood dreams or be the best I could
of been when I was twelve but this is the new me
my new life I still have brain damage I always
will but I am able to function and share my
experiences with other people I wish I had
listened I wish someone had shown me what my life
would become I wish I had known that drugs werenrsquot
cool

FIZZLE KICKS Shop My Look
Designs Devonrsquos FK What made you dress so uniquely
Devon Erm I donrsquot really know I just hate
looking like everybody else I Love to look
fashionable and try new styles out
FK What are your favorite clothing boutiques
Devon I love to shop in places like Portobello
market and around there And also I like to go
to charity shops because itrsquos basically vintage
but itrsquos so much cheaper I also love the
ordinary high street shops like top shop and
new look
FK Have you ever been asked to model Do you
want to model
Devon Yeah I have been asked to model
actually- when I went to a gig in Camden But
at the time unfortunately I was far too young
I donrsquot really know I donrsquot think I would like
too because itrsquos way too pressurizing
FK What would you like to be if not a
fashion designerboutique owner etc
Devon I would like to be a fashion journalist
or work in a magazine to do with fashion maybe
not designing clothes but working on a catwalk
and dressing models and stuff
FK What is the best compliment you have ever
received on your outfit
Devon Uhm
sbquoYou look nice‛
I donrsquot know (lol)
FK Do you think you have style Are you
confident about that
Devon I like fashion so much that I guess I am
confident in it I love to dress and I hate
looking normal
FK What inspires your sassy style
Devon I take so much inspiration from fashion
websites like look book a lot flipping through
magazines and even when I see people walking
down the street
FK Do you ever worry about your sizes How do
you keep fit and keep in shape
Devon Well I do so many team sports like
hockey or netball When I am at home I
sometimes go on a quick job or something but
I absolutely hate going to the gym
FK What influences your style
Devon Quite a few people but mostly
Celebrities especially those who have amazing
dress sense like Alexa Chung But I have to
say I prefer English people and their style way
more than Americans mostly because I think
British people are more original than Americans
FK Have you ever considered fashion designing
Devon OMG Yeah I have But I am more interested
in just getting into the fashion industry
because designing is way harder to get into and
is too competitive for me
FK Do you make your own designs
Devon Yeah sometimes But itrsquos more like a
trial and error kind of thing because most of
them go so wrong hahaha
FK Do you have any tips for anyone to look as
fab as you do
Devon Just be yourself And feel confident in
what you wear
ldquoI love to
dress up why
not dress to
impressrdquo

Beastly 15th April 2011
I first heard about Beastly months ago whilst watching movie trailers on
YouTube and ever since Irsquove been counting down the days until its release
It is a modern day more grown-up takes on the story Beauty and the
Beast Kyle Kingson (played by Wild Child Alex Pettyfer) is arrogant
attractive and popular and takes his fortunes for granted He is used to
teasing others and using his power but one day he crosses Kendra (a
spooky Mary-Kate Olsen) by standing her up and making her look like a
fool but this time the jokersquos on him Kendra casts a spell on Kingson
turning him beastly The spell can only be broken when he finds true love
a person who sees him for whatrsquos on the inside With only a kind
housekeeper (Lisa Gay Hamilton) and blind tutor (Neil Patrick Harris
famous for the hilarious Barney in How I Met Your Mother) for company
things look pretty bleak One day though he helps a drug addict out of
trouble with his drug dealer and in return for this favor asks for his
daughter (high school musicalrsquos Venessa Hudgens) to stay with him Will
she be able to see past the flesh that hides his heart

I have had this problem for
about 3 weeks really
Recently Irsquove tried to run
away 3 times My
grandfather died a few
weeks ago and ever since
then I just havenrsquot felt the
same I talked to teachers
about it but all they do is
put me in counseling and I
hated it in fact it made me
want to leave even more I
go to school in London and
no one at school talks to me
My best friend is my cousin
Jenny My grandfather was
all I had now I just donrsquot see
the point in living Jenny told
me to write to you because
she told me you would be
the only one who would
know how to help me

Dear Shauna
I understand it must be hard for you
having lost someone and you may feel
very alone right now but try to think
about how your grandad would feel if
he knew how upset you were and also
your family They have just been
through a loss of one of their family
members and Irsquom sure they would all
miss you Counseling isnrsquot always the
way to solve peoplersquos problems You
have to take into account that the
death wasnrsquot your fault running away
wonrsquot bring your grandad back Irsquom
sure he would want you to remember
the good things about him when he
was alive and not to be sad Talk to
you cousin maybe she feels the same
way and has a better way of dealing
with it Everyone has different coping
strategies and running away isnrsquot
going to help anyone and especially
not you You canrsquot run away from life
or yoursquoll be running forever If you are
still having problems try talking to the
Samaritans They help people who are
having problems like this all the time
and theyrsquoll have plenty of good advice

lsquoDRUGS ARENrsquoT
COOL- I
LEARNT THAT
THE HARD
WAYrsquo
The HISTORY
Let me take you back about 5
months ago it was spring term
and I was 13 years old I was
attending an all girls private
school in London it was a good
school and I had a great group
of friends After school we
would go to Hyde Park and hang
out with other school kids
trying to pull some guys
This particular afternoon one of
my friends had bought a pack of
cigarettes I was shocked as she
handed them round and all my
friends took one and lit up I 26

was disgusted I couldnrsquot believe
they were like that Of course I was
just looking out for them but I
lectured and nagged about how bad it
was and that they would all grow up
and get cancer I wasnrsquot going to
hang out with them if they were
smoking so I marched home early and
didnrsquot call them or talk to them for
the whole weekend which was silly
because I was just punishing myself
I thought they would come round but
as the hours lengthened I knew that I
had to choose I didnrsquot want to lose
my friends and the only way I could
see that happening was if I did
something really cool So I decided
to pull a few strings and I got my
hands on a fake ID The next day at
school I showed it off and everyone
practically bowed down to me I was
now buying cigarettes for almost all
the under ages in the school
The next month I was 14 and as the
park was a bit young for us we were
going to try pubs With our fake IDrsquos
at the ready we went
round all the pubs in the area
meeting older guys and mucking
around We were offered a joint (you
could smoke inside back then) by
some boys a bit older and when we
took it we felt so cool It felt
better than smoking and we didnrsquot
exactly think of weed as a drug I
was failing in school also I felt
like a real rebel then
The hole got DEEPER
Before I knew it was my best friendrsquos
birthday and she decided we should
all go clubbing We planned our night
out weeks in advance We organized
outfits and fake names and ages
excuses everything As we cued up to
get in the adrenaline pumped around
my body and I nervously looked this
way and that Would the bouncer
realize I was just 14
We got to the door and hey presto the
rope was lifted and we entered The
heat hit me and the music resounded
in my bones
I was nervous at first but after a
few margaritas I was more than
confident This one guy who had been
watching us all night came up to my
friend and me He took out some white
powder from his pocket and asked if we
wanted a pick me up
My friends all said yes so I just went
along to the loo with them I didnrsquot want
to get left out So there we were snorting
coke off the toilet lid I felt amazing
the best I have ever felt in my life So
this was what all the fuss was about
drugs were brilliant In the morning I
woke up with a splitting headache moving
an inch felt like dragging a ton of bricks for a mile but it was worth it After that
night we met up with the same guy a couple
more times and he introduced us to his
drug dealer so that we could get the
cocaine direct
Somehow I was always the one who went to
the drug dealer with my friendrsquos money to
get the cocaine I wasnrsquot scared of him
because he was a schoolboy just a little
older than me and I had already met some
of his friends The more I took it the
more I needed of it I would buy the coke
with the money they gave me but I wouldnrsquot
give them the drugs I had bought with it
that was for me I gave them my own mix
with just a sprinkle of what they should
have been getting
I never felt guilty about my actions
this wasnrsquot stealing cheating or lying-
this was looking out for my friends It
wouldnrsquot have been right for me to watch
them damage their bodies The drugs worked
differently for me because I was stronger
than them Soon I stopped hanging out with
the people who I had first started smoking
with and moved onto a completely different
bunch of people who were so much cooler
ldquoTHE TOASTER SHATTERED ON
HER HEAD AND I RANrdquo
As the months passed I had practically
left school and money was running low
When I asked my parents they would say no
I think they knew I had a problem and they
confronted me about it I promised I would
stop but how dare they take away my money
and freedom I was a teenager I needed
fun I got desperate for more soon if my
parents wouldnrsquot give me money I would
steal it Money and goods went missing
from the house and I grew anxious that m
parents were on to me
One day my mum came downstairs and saw
me riffling through her purse She
looked heartbroken when she saw me I
was in debt with my dealer but I needed
one more kick just one more
ldquoYou promised you would stop Put the
money back for goodness sakerdquo Damn she
was going to kill me I needed this shot
first though so I grabbed the nearest
thing to me and threw it The toaster
shattered on her skull and I ran
The EPIPHANY
After that I was banned from the house
and my family refused contact with me I
had a little brother he still doesnrsquot
talk to me now I went from friendrsquos
house to friendrsquos house getting kicked
out by their parents again and again
and stealing and sneaking to get more
coke I was on the last friendly place
in my address book when I was
confronted
ldquoIf you want to stay here any longer
then you have to stop My parents say
that the next thing you do your out Irsquom
sorry but yoursquove changed so much
Yoursquore moody and hang out with the cool
people and the drug dealers I donrsquot
even know who you arerdquo I will never
forget those words That hit me hard and
I felt low all day I just needed one
more line How much harm can one line
do
I was staggering down my dealers road
when a dark figure confronted me
ldquoYou owe me big time I want the money
back nowrdquo
I explained to him how sorry I was but
my parents had kicked me out and I was
staying with friends I would have his
money if he gave me a couple of weeks
ldquoHE USED MY HEAD AS A
FOOTBALLrdquo
ldquoNo I want it now yoursquore going to
give it to me nowrdquo Suddenly a big car
pulled up a man got out of it and
pushed me to the ground repeatedly
kicking me in the head I was nearly
unconscious but I can clearly remember
what happened next My drug dealer a man I thought
was the only one looking out and caring for me
raped me that night
Somehow I woke up in hospital No one visited me
because I had turned everyone I had ever loved
against me no one but myself was to blame for what
had happened I was discharged from hospital but I
didnrsquot have anything but the clothes on my back
There I was on a park bench bruises and cuts
another homeless person stinking and begging I had
never been so scared in my life
I now had two options call my mum and beg for
forgiveness or steal some money and get high I sat
there for a long time hesitant about both ideas
but thankfully I decided to call my mum She was
there in twenty minutes which just about gave me
enough time to think about what I would do when I
got home I was depressed and so I was going to
need to borrow some money for some more gear
I got in the car but instead of heading home we
went to another part of town straight to rehab
If I had learnt anything from gossip mags it was
that rehab was like a hotel you went in slept in
a clean environment and went out Soon I would be
back on the good stuff and with my familyrsquos money
to support me
Three months later and I was still there working
hard learning how to take care of myself It was
weird I never realized all I had forgotten taking
a shower brushing my teeth getting dressed in
clean clothes My parents were running out of money
though and had to take me out I took more drugs
and was admitted back I left again but eventually
gave into drugs You learn from your mistakes but
drugs are different you are not you anymore
Irsquom clean now I have friends and family who love
and trust me and I recently started dating That
takes a lot of confidence because when most people
hear about my past they flinch and judge me but
Irsquom not that person With no qualifications I canrsquot
fulfill my childhood dreams or be the best I could
of been when I was twelve but this is the new me
my new life I still have brain damage I always
will but I am able to function and share my
experiences with other people I wish I had
listened I wish someone had shown me what my life
would become I wish I had known that drugs werenrsquot
cool

FIZZLE KICKS Shop My Look
Designs Devonrsquos FK What made you dress so uniquely
Devon Erm I donrsquot really know I just hate
looking like everybody else I Love to look
fashionable and try new styles out
FK What are your favorite clothing boutiques
Devon I love to shop in places like Portobello
market and around there And also I like to go
to charity shops because itrsquos basically vintage
but itrsquos so much cheaper I also love the
ordinary high street shops like top shop and
new look
FK Have you ever been asked to model Do you
want to model
Devon Yeah I have been asked to model
actually- when I went to a gig in Camden But
at the time unfortunately I was far too young
I donrsquot really know I donrsquot think I would like
too because itrsquos way too pressurizing
FK What would you like to be if not a
fashion designerboutique owner etc
Devon I would like to be a fashion journalist
or work in a magazine to do with fashion maybe
not designing clothes but working on a catwalk
and dressing models and stuff
FK What is the best compliment you have ever
received on your outfit
Devon Uhm
sbquoYou look nice‛
I donrsquot know (lol)
FK Do you think you have style Are you
confident about that
Devon I like fashion so much that I guess I am
confident in it I love to dress and I hate
looking normal
FK What inspires your sassy style
Devon I take so much inspiration from fashion
websites like look book a lot flipping through
magazines and even when I see people walking
down the street
FK Do you ever worry about your sizes How do
you keep fit and keep in shape
Devon Well I do so many team sports like
hockey or netball When I am at home I
sometimes go on a quick job or something but
I absolutely hate going to the gym
FK What influences your style
Devon Quite a few people but mostly
Celebrities especially those who have amazing
dress sense like Alexa Chung But I have to
say I prefer English people and their style way
more than Americans mostly because I think
British people are more original than Americans
FK Have you ever considered fashion designing
Devon OMG Yeah I have But I am more interested
in just getting into the fashion industry
because designing is way harder to get into and
is too competitive for me
FK Do you make your own designs
Devon Yeah sometimes But itrsquos more like a
trial and error kind of thing because most of
them go so wrong hahaha
FK Do you have any tips for anyone to look as
fab as you do
Devon Just be yourself And feel confident in
what you wear
ldquoI love to
dress up why
not dress to
impressrdquo

Beastly 15th April 2011
I first heard about Beastly months ago whilst watching movie trailers on
YouTube and ever since Irsquove been counting down the days until its release
It is a modern day more grown-up takes on the story Beauty and the
Beast Kyle Kingson (played by Wild Child Alex Pettyfer) is arrogant
attractive and popular and takes his fortunes for granted He is used to
teasing others and using his power but one day he crosses Kendra (a
spooky Mary-Kate Olsen) by standing her up and making her look like a
fool but this time the jokersquos on him Kendra casts a spell on Kingson
turning him beastly The spell can only be broken when he finds true love
a person who sees him for whatrsquos on the inside With only a kind
housekeeper (Lisa Gay Hamilton) and blind tutor (Neil Patrick Harris
famous for the hilarious Barney in How I Met Your Mother) for company
things look pretty bleak One day though he helps a drug addict out of
trouble with his drug dealer and in return for this favor asks for his
daughter (high school musicalrsquos Venessa Hudgens) to stay with him Will
she be able to see past the flesh that hides his heart
Music

DEAR HELEN
I have had this problem for
about 3 weeks really
Recently Irsquove tried to run
away 3 times My
grandfather died a few
weeks ago and ever since
then I just havenrsquot felt the
same I talked to teachers
about it but all they do is
put me in counseling and I
hated it in fact it made me
want to leave even more I
go to school in London and
no one at school talks to me
My best friend is my cousin
Jenny My grandfather was
all I had now I just donrsquot see
the point in living Jenny told
me to write to you because
she told me you would be
the only one who would
know how to help me
Shauna 14
DEAR HELEN
I just came to my new
school feeling quite
confident about my body
but then everyone told me
that I was either lsquochubbyrsquo or
just plain fat I told my mum
and she told me that I am
fine What should I do Who
should I listen to
Jenny 13
DEAR HELEN
I only found out a few weeks
ago that all of my friends
smoke marijuana I was with
them before class one time-
and they offered me some I
said no but now they refuse
to be seen with me or even
talk to me- what should I
do
Mary Jane 14
HHeelleenn
Dear Shauna
I understand it must be hard for you
having lost someone and you may feel
very alone right now but try to think
about how your grandad would feel if
he knew how upset you were and also
your family They have just been
through a loss of one of their family
members and Irsquom sure they would all
miss you Counseling isnrsquot always the
way to solve peoplersquos problems You
have to take into account that the
death wasnrsquot your fault running away
wonrsquot bring your grandad back Irsquom
sure he would want you to remember
the good things about him when he
was alive and not to be sad Talk to
you cousin maybe she feels the same
way and has a better way of dealing
with it Everyone has different coping
strategies and running away isnrsquot
going to help anyone and especially
not you You canrsquot run away from life
or yoursquoll be running forever If you are
still having problems try talking to the
Samaritans They help people who are
having problems like this all the time
and theyrsquoll have plenty of good advice
for you
Helen x
Dear Jenny
The most important thing is that you
are confident Everyone is different
in one way or another and people
who treat you differently for the way
you look just arenrsquot worth talking to
Anyway Irsquove heard from a good deal
of males out there that they prefer
someone with a bit more flesh on
them to someone whorsquos stick thin
You should definitely listen to your
mum if you do feel like you need to
lose weight just start cutting down
on a few snacks but donrsquot do
anything extreme Crash dieting and
excessive dieting is bad for everyone
and itrsquos proven that the average
women puts on twice the weight she
loses from dieting I think itrsquos
fantastic that you are quite
confident with your body and you
shouldnrsquot let anything or anyone
change that Hope this helps
Helen x
Dear Mary Jane
If your friends are refusing to be seen
with you because you donrsquot smoke pot
then they arenrsquot worth it Marijuana
or weed as it is more commonly
known can have serious effects on
your mental health and is not
beneficially to your brain Yes it can
make you feel more relaxed but itrsquos
also illegal Your friends are probably
going through a rebellious phase
when they think theyre cool when
really they are just being stupid
Wasting their money and causing
themselves harm If you have any
concerns about Cannabis then you can
look at Frank a company that are
trying to educate people about the
effects of drugs and alcohol abuse
They may think it helps them have fun
but if your friends canrsquot just have fun
without drugs then your friends are
not very interesting people You
should try talking to more sensible
fun and intelligent people Your
friends are just being silly and not
looking after themselves and
subsequently offering you is also them
trying to harm you although they may
not realize it yet

ldquoYou owe me big time I want the money
back nowrdquo
I explained to him how sorry I was but
my parents had kicked me out and I was
staying with friends I would have his
money if he gave me a couple of weeks
ldquoHE USED MY HEAD AS A
FOOTBALLrdquo
ldquoNo I want it now yoursquore going to
give it to me nowrdquo Suddenly a big car
pulled up a man got out of it and
pushed me to the ground repeatedly
kicking me in the head I was nearly
unconscious but I can clearly remember
what happened next My drug dealer a man I thought
was the only one looking out and caring for me
raped me that night
Somehow I woke up in hospital No one visited me
because I had turned everyone I had ever loved
against me no one but myself was to blame for what
had happened I was discharged from hospital but I
didnrsquot have anything but the clothes on my back
There I was on a park bench bruises and cuts
another homeless person stinking and begging I had
never been so scared in my life
I now had two options call my mum and beg for
forgiveness or steal some money and get high I sat
there for a long time hesitant about both ideas
but thankfully I decided to call my mum She was
there in twenty minutes which just about gave me
enough time to think about what I would do when I
got home I was depressed and so I was going to
need to borrow some money for some more gear
I got in the car but instead of heading home we
went to another part of town straight to rehab
If I had learnt anything from gossip mags it was
that rehab was like a hotel you went in slept in
a clean environment and went out Soon I would be
back on the good stuff and with my familyrsquos money
to support me
Three months later and I was still there working
hard learning how to take care of myself It was
weird I never realized all I had forgotten taking
a shower brushing my teeth getting dressed in
clean clothes My parents were running out of money
though and had to take me out I took more drugs
and was admitted back I left again but eventually
gave into drugs You learn from your mistakes but
drugs are different you are not you anymore
Irsquom clean now I have friends and family who love
and trust me and I recently started dating That
takes a lot of confidence because when most people
hear about my past they flinch and judge me but
Irsquom not that person With no qualifications I canrsquot
fulfill my childhood dreams or be the best I could
of been when I was twelve but this is the new me
my new life I still have brain damage I always
will but I am able to function and share my
experiences with other people I wish I had
listened I wish someone had shown me what my life
would become I wish I had known that drugs werenrsquot
cool

DEAR HELEN
I have had this problem for
about 3 weeks really
Recently Irsquove tried to run
away 3 times My
grandfather died a few
weeks ago and ever since
then I just havenrsquot felt the
same I talked to teachers
about it but all they do is
put me in counseling and I
hated it in fact it made me
want to leave even more I
go to school in London and
no one at school talks to me
My best friend is my cousin
Jenny My grandfather was
all I had now I just donrsquot see
the point in living Jenny told
me to write to you because
she told me you would be
the only one who would
know how to help me
Shauna 14
DEAR HELEN
I just came to my new
school feeling quite
confident about my body
but then everyone told me
that I was either lsquochubbyrsquo or
just plain fat I told my mum
and she told me that I am
fine What should I do Who
should I listen to
Jenny 13
DEAR HELEN
I only found out a few weeks
ago that all of my friends
smoke marijuana I was with
them before class one time-
and they offered me some I
said no but now they refuse
to be seen with me or even
talk to me- what should I
do
Mary Jane 14

Dear Shauna
I understand it must be hard for you
having lost someone and you may feel
very alone right now but try to think
about how your grandad would feel if
he knew how upset you were and also
your family They have just been
through a loss of one of their family
members and Irsquom sure they would all
miss you Counseling isnrsquot always the
way to solve peoplersquos problems You
have to take into account that the
death wasnrsquot your fault running away
wonrsquot bring your grandad back Irsquom
sure he would want you to remember
the good things about him when he
was alive and not to be sad Talk to
you cousin maybe she feels the same
way and has a better way of dealing
with it Everyone has different coping
strategies and running away isnrsquot
going to help anyone and especially
not you You canrsquot run away from life
or yoursquoll be running forever If you are
still having problems try talking to the
Samaritans They help people who are
having problems like this all the time
and theyrsquoll have plenty of good advice
for you
Helen x
Dear Jenny
The most important thing is that you
are confident Everyone is different
in one way or another and people
who treat you differently for the way
you look just arenrsquot worth talking to
Anyway Irsquove heard from a good deal
of males out there that they prefer
someone with a bit more flesh on
them to someone whorsquos stick thin
You should definitely listen to your
mum if you do feel like you need to
lose weight just start cutting down
on a few snacks but donrsquot do
anything extreme Crash dieting and
excessive dieting is bad for everyone
and itrsquos proven that the average
women puts on twice the weight she
loses from dieting I think itrsquos
fantastic that you are quite
confident with your body and you
shouldnrsquot let anything or anyone
change that Hope this helps

Dear Mary Jane
If your friends are refusing to be seen
with you because you donrsquot smoke pot
then they arenrsquot worth it Marijuana
or weed as it is more commonly
known can have serious effects on
your mental health and is not
beneficially to your brain Yes it can
make you feel more relaxed but itrsquos
also illegal Your friends are probably
going through a rebellious phase
when they think theyre cool when
really they are just being stupid
Wasting their money and causing
themselves harm If you have any
concerns about Cannabis then you can
look at Frank a company that are
trying to educate people about the
effects of drugs and alcohol abuse
They may think it helps them have fun
but if your friends canrsquot just have fun
without drugs then your friends are
not very interesting people You
should try talking to more sensible
fun and intelligent people Your
friends are just being silly and not
looking after themselves and
subsequently offering you is also them
trying to harm you although they may
not realize it yet

lsquoDRUGS ARENrsquoT
COOL- I
LEARNT THAT
THE HARD
WAYrsquo
The HISTORY
Let me take you back about 5
months ago it was spring term
and I was 13 years old I was
attending an all girls private
school in London it was a good
school and I had a great group
of friends After school we
would go to Hyde Park and hang
out with other school kids
trying to pull some guys
This particular afternoon one of
my friends had bought a pack of
cigarettes I was shocked as she
handed them round and all my
friends took one and lit up I 26
FIZZLE KICKS Real Life Stories
Names and pictures are changed to protect identities
was disgusted I couldnrsquot believe
they were like that Of course I was
just looking out for them but I
lectured and nagged about how bad it
was and that they would all grow up
and get cancer I wasnrsquot going to
hang out with them if they were
smoking so I marched home early and
didnrsquot call them or talk to them for
the whole weekend which was silly
because I was just punishing myself
I thought they would come round but
as the hours lengthened I knew that I
had to choose I didnrsquot want to lose
my friends and the only way I could
see that happening was if I did
something really cool So I decided
to pull a few strings and I got my
hands on a fake ID The next day at
school I showed it off and everyone
practically bowed down to me I was
now buying cigarettes for almost all
the under ages in the school
The next month I was 14 and as the
park was a bit young for us we were
going to try pubs With our fake IDrsquos
at the ready we went
round all the pubs in the area
meeting older guys and mucking
around We were offered a joint (you
could smoke inside back then) by
some boys a bit older and when we
took it we felt so cool It felt
better than smoking and we didnrsquot
exactly think of weed as a drug I
was failing in school also I felt
like a real rebel then
The hole got DEEPER
Before I knew it was my best friendrsquos
birthday and she decided we should
all go clubbing We planned our night
out weeks in advance We organized
outfits and fake names and ages
excuses everything As we cued up to
get in the adrenaline pumped around
my body and I nervously looked this
way and that Would the bouncer
realize I was just 14
We got to the door and hey presto the
rope was lifted and we entered The
heat hit me and the music resounded
in my bones
I was nervous at first but after a
few margaritas I was more than
confident This one guy who had been
watching us all night came up to my
friend and me He took out some white
powder from his pocket and asked if we
wanted a pick me up
My friends all said yes so I just went
along to the loo with them I didnrsquot want
to get left out So there we were snorting
coke off the toilet lid I felt amazing
the best I have ever felt in my life So
this was what all the fuss was about
drugs were brilliant In the morning I
woke up with a splitting headache moving
an inch felt like dragging a ton of bricks for a mile but it was worth it After that
night we met up with the same guy a couple
more times and he introduced us to his
drug dealer so that we could get the
cocaine direct
Somehow I was always the one who went to
the drug dealer with my friendrsquos money to
get the cocaine I wasnrsquot scared of him
because he was a schoolboy just a little
older than me and I had already met some
of his friends The more I took it the
more I needed of it I would buy the coke
with the money they gave me but I wouldnrsquot
give them the drugs I had bought with it
that was for me I gave them my own mix
with just a sprinkle of what they should
have been getting
I never felt guilty about my actions
this wasnrsquot stealing cheating or lying-
this was looking out for my friends It
wouldnrsquot have been right for me to watch
them damage their bodies The drugs worked
differently for me because I was stronger
than them Soon I stopped hanging out with
the people who I had first started smoking
with and moved onto a completely different
bunch of people who were so much cooler
ldquoTHE TOASTER SHATTERED ON
HER HEAD AND I RANrdquo
As the months passed I had practically
left school and money was running low
When I asked my parents they would say no
I think they knew I had a problem and they
confronted me about it I promised I would
stop but how dare they take away my money
and freedom I was a teenager I needed
fun I got desperate for more soon if my
parents wouldnrsquot give me money I would
steal it Money and goods went missing
from the house and I grew anxious that m
parents were on to me
One day my mum came downstairs and saw
me riffling through her purse She
looked heartbroken when she saw me I
was in debt with my dealer but I needed
one more kick just one more
ldquoYou promised you would stop Put the
money back for goodness sakerdquo Damn she
was going to kill me I needed this shot
first though so I grabbed the nearest
thing to me and threw it The toaster
shattered on her skull and I ran
The EPIPHANY
After that I was banned from the house
and my family refused contact with me I
had a little brother he still doesnrsquot
talk to me now I went from friendrsquos
house to friendrsquos house getting kicked
out by their parents again and again
and stealing and sneaking to get more
coke I was on the last friendly place
in my address book when I was
confronted
ldquoIf you want to stay here any longer
then you have to stop My parents say
that the next thing you do your out Irsquom
sorry but yoursquove changed so much
Yoursquore moody and hang out with the cool
people and the drug dealers I donrsquot
even know who you arerdquo I will never
forget those words That hit me hard and
I felt low all day I just needed one
more line How much harm can one line
do
I was staggering down my dealers road
when a dark figure confronted me
ldquoYou owe me big time I want the money
back nowrdquo
I explained to him how sorry I was but
my parents had kicked me out and I was
staying with friends I would have his
money if he gave me a couple of weeks
ldquoHE USED MY HEAD AS A
FOOTBALLrdquo
ldquoNo I want it now yoursquore going to
give it to me nowrdquo Suddenly a big car
pulled up a man got out of it and
pushed me to the ground repeatedly
kicking me in the head I was nearly
unconscious but I can clearly remember
what happened next My drug dealer a man I thought
was the only one looking out and caring for me
raped me that night
Somehow I woke up in hospital No one visited me
because I had turned everyone I had ever loved
against me no one but myself was to blame for what
had happened I was discharged from hospital but I
didnrsquot have anything but the clothes on my back
There I was on a park bench bruises and cuts
another homeless person stinking and begging I had
never been so scared in my life
I now had two options call my mum and beg for

but thankfully I decided to call my mum She was

enough time to think about what I would do when I
got home I was depressed and so I was going to
need to borrow some money for some more gear
I got in the car but instead of heading home we
went to another part of town straight to rehab
If I had learnt anything from gossip mags it was

DEAR HELEN
I have had this problem for
about 3 weeks really
Recently Irsquove tried to run
away 3 times My
grandfather died a few
weeks ago and ever since
then I just havenrsquot felt the
same I talked to teachers
about it but all they do is
put me in counseling and I
hated it in fact it made me
want to leave even more I
go to school in London and
no one at school talks to me
My best friend is my cousin
Jenny My grandfather was
all I had now I just donrsquot see
the point in living Jenny told
me to write to you because
she told me you would be
the only one who would
know how to help me
Shauna 14
DEAR HELEN
I just came to my new
school feeling quite
confident about my body
but then everyone told me
that I was either lsquochubbyrsquo or
just plain fat I told my mum
and she told me that I am
fine What should I do Who
should I listen to
Jenny 13
DEAR HELEN
I only found out a few weeks
ago that all of my friends
smoke marijuana I was with
them before class one time-
and they offered me some I
said no but now they refuse
to be seen with me or even
talk to me- what should I
do

Dear Shauna
I understand it must be hard for you
having lost someone and you may feel
very alone right now but try to think
about how your grandad would feel if
he knew how upset you were and also
your family They have just been
through a loss of one of their family
members and Irsquom sure they would all
miss you Counseling isnrsquot always the
way to solve peoplersquos problems You
have to take into account that the
death wasnrsquot your fault running away
wonrsquot bring your grandad back Irsquom
sure he would want you to remember
the good things about him when he
was alive and not to be sad Talk to
you cousin maybe she feels the same
way and has a better way of dealing
with it Everyone has different coping
strategies and running away isnrsquot
going to help anyone and especially
not you You canrsquot run away from life
or yoursquoll be running forever If you are
still having problems try talking to the
Samaritans They help people who are
having problems like this all the time
and theyrsquoll have plenty of good advice
for you
Helen x
Dear Jenny
The most important thing is that you
are confident Everyone is different
in one way or another and people
who treat you differently for the way
you look just arenrsquot worth talking to
Anyway Irsquove heard from a good deal
of males out there that they prefer
someone with a bit more flesh on
them to someone whorsquos stick thin
You should definitely listen to your
mum if you do feel like you need to
lose weight just start cutting down
on a few snacks but donrsquot do
anything extreme Crash dieting and
excessive dieting is bad for everyone
and itrsquos proven that the average
women puts on twice the weight she
loses from dieting I think itrsquos
fantastic that you are quite
confident with your body and you
shouldnrsquot let anything or anyone
change that Hope this helps

Dear Mary Jane
If your friends are refusing to be seen
with you because you donrsquot smoke pot
then they arenrsquot worth it Marijuana
or weed as it is more commonly
known can have serious effects on
your mental health and is not
beneficially to your brain Yes it can
make you feel more relaxed but itrsquos
also illegal Your friends are probably
going through a rebellious phase
when they think theyre cool when
really they are just being stupid
Wasting their money and causing
themselves harm If you have any
concerns about Cannabis then you can
look at Frank a company that are
trying to educate people about the
effects of drugs and alcohol abuse
They may think it helps them have fun
but if your friends canrsquot just have fun
without drugs then your friends are
not very interesting people You
should try talking to more sensible
fun and intelligent people Your
friends are just being silly and not
looking after themselves and
subsequently offering you is also them
trying to harm you although they may
not realize it yet

lsquoDRUGS ARENrsquoT
COOL- I
LEARNT THAT
THE HARD
WAYrsquo
The HISTORY
Let me take you back about 5
months ago it was spring term
and I was 13 years old I was
attending an all girls private
school in London it was a good
school and I had a great group
of friends After school we
would go to Hyde Park and hang
out with other school kids
trying to pull some guys
This particular afternoon one of
my friends had bought a pack of
cigarettes I was shocked as she
handed them round and all my
friends took one and lit up I 26
FIZZLE KICKS Real Life Stories
Names and pictures are changed to protect identities
was disgusted I couldnrsquot believe
they were like that Of course I was
just looking out for them but I
lectured and nagged about how bad it
was and that they would all grow up
and get cancer I wasnrsquot going to
hang out with them if they were
smoking so I marched home early and
didnrsquot call them or talk to them for
the whole weekend which was silly
because I was just punishing myself
I thought they would come round but
as the hours lengthened I knew that I
had to choose I didnrsquot want to lose
my friends and the only way I could
see that happening was if I did
something really cool So I decided
to pull a few strings and I got my
hands on a fake ID The next day at
school I showed it off and everyone
practically bowed down to me I was
now buying cigarettes for almost all
the under ages in the school
The next month I was 14 and as the
park was a bit young for us we were
going to try pubs With our fake IDrsquos
at the ready we went
round all the pubs in the area
meeting older guys and mucking
around We were offered a joint (you
could smoke inside back then) by
some boys a bit older and when we
took it we felt so cool It felt
better than smoking and we didnrsquot
exactly think of weed as a drug I
was failing in school also I felt
like a real rebel then
The hole got DEEPER
Before I knew it was my best friendrsquos
birthday and she decided we should
all go clubbing We planned our night
out weeks in advance We organized
outfits and fake names and ages
excuses everything As we cued up to
get in the adrenaline pumped around
my body and I nervously looked this
way and that Would the bouncer
realize I was just 14
We got to the door and hey presto the
rope was lifted and we entered The
heat hit me and the music resounded
in my bones
I was nervous at first but after a
few margaritas I was more than
confident This one guy who had been
watching us all night came up to my
friend and me He took out some white
powder from his pocket and asked if we
wanted a pick me up
My friends all said yes so I just went
along to the loo with them I didnrsquot want
to get left out So there we were snorting
coke off the toilet lid I felt amazing
the best I have ever felt in my life So
this was what all the fuss was about
drugs were brilliant In the morning I
woke up with a splitting headache moving
an inch felt like dragging a ton of bricks for a mile but it was worth it After that
night we met up with the same guy a couple
more times and he introduced us to his
drug dealer so that we could get the
cocaine direct
Somehow I was always the one who went to
the drug dealer with my friendrsquos money to
get the cocaine I wasnrsquot scared of him
because he was a schoolboy just a little
older than me and I had already met some
of his friends The more I took it the
more I needed of it I would buy the coke
with the money they gave me but I wouldnrsquot
give them the drugs I had bought with it
that was for me I gave them my own mix
with just a sprinkle of what they should
have been getting
I never felt guilty about my actions
this wasnrsquot stealing cheating or lying-
this was looking out for my friends It
wouldnrsquot have been right for me to watch
them damage their bodies The drugs worked
differently for me because I was stronger
than them Soon I stopped hanging out with
the people who I had first started smoking
with and moved onto a completely different
bunch of people who were so much cooler
ldquoTHE TOASTER SHATTERED ON
HER HEAD AND I RANrdquo
As the months passed I had practically
left school and money was running low
When I asked my parents they would say no
I think they knew I had a problem and they
confronted me about it I promised I would
stop but how dare they take away my money
and freedom I was a teenager I needed
fun I got desperate for more soon if my
parents wouldnrsquot give me money I would
steal it Money and goods went missing
from the house and I grew anxious that m
parents were on to me
One day my mum came downstairs and saw
me riffling through her purse She
looked heartbroken when she saw me I
was in debt with my dealer but I needed
one more kick just one more
ldquoYou promised you would stop Put the
money back for goodness sakerdquo Damn she
was going to kill me I needed this shot
first though so I grabbed the nearest
thing to me and threw it The toaster
shattered on her skull and I ran
The EPIPHANY
After that I was banned from the house
and my family refused contact with me I
had a little brother he still doesnrsquot
talk to me now I went from friendrsquos
house to friendrsquos house getting kicked
out by their parents again and again
and stealing and sneaking to get more
coke I was on the last friendly place
in my address book when I was
confronted
ldquoIf you want to stay here any longer
then you have to stop My parents say
that the next thing you do your out Irsquom
sorry but yoursquove changed so much
Yoursquore moody and hang out with the cool
people and the drug dealers I donrsquot
even know who you arerdquo I will never
forget those words That hit me hard and
I felt low all day I just needed one
more line How much harm can one line
do
I was staggering down my dealers road
when a dark figure confronted me
ldquoYou owe me big time I want the money
back nowrdquo
I explained to him how sorry I was but
my parents had kicked me out and I was
staying with friends I would have his
money if he gave me a couple of weeks
ldquoHE USED MY HEAD AS A
FOOTBALLrdquo
ldquoNo I want it now yoursquore going to
give it to me nowrdquo Suddenly a big car
pulled up a man got out of it and
pushed me to the ground repeatedly
kicking me in the head I was nearly
unconscious but I can clearly remember
what happened next My drug dealer a man I thought
was the only one looking out and caring for me
raped me that night
Somehow I woke up in hospital No one visited me
because I had turned everyone I had ever loved
against me no one but myself was to blame for what
had happened I was discharged from hospital but I
didnrsquot have anything but the clothes on my back
There I was on a park bench bruises and cuts
another homeless person stinking and begging I had
never been so scared in my life
I now had two options call my mum and beg for
forgiveness or steal some money and get high I sat
there for a long time hesitant about both ideas
but thankfully I decided to call my mum She was
there in twenty minutes which just about gave me
enough time to think about what I would do when I
got home I was depressed and so I was going to
need to borrow some money for some more gear
I got in the car but instead of heading home we
went to another part of town straight to rehab
If I had learnt anything from gossip mags it was
that rehab was like a hotel you went in slept in
a clean environment and went out Soon I would be
back on the good stuff and with my familyrsquos money
to support me
Three months later and I was still there working
hard learning how to take care of myself It was
weird I never realized all I had forgotten taking
a shower brushing my teeth getting dressed in
clean clothes My parents were running out of money
though and had to take me out I took more drugs
and was admitted back I left again but eventually
gave into drugs You learn from your mistakes but
drugs are different you are not you anymore
Irsquom clean now I have friends and family who love
and trust me and I recently started dating That
takes a lot of confidence because when most people
hear about my past they flinch and judge me but
Irsquom not that person With no qualifications I canrsquot
fulfill my childhood dreams or be the best I could
of been when I was twelve but this is the new me
my new life I still have brain damage I always
will but I am able to function and share my
experiences with other people I wish I had
listened I wish someone had shown me what my life
would become I wish I had known that drugs werenrsquot
cool

FIZZLE KICKS Shop My Look
Designs Devonrsquos FK What made you dress so uniquely
Devon Erm I donrsquot really know I just hate
looking like everybody else I Love to look
fashionable and try new styles out
FK What are your favorite clothing boutiques
Devon I love to shop in places like Portobello
market and around there And also I like to go
to charity shops because itrsquos basically vintage
but itrsquos so much cheaper I also love the
ordinary high street shops like top shop and
new look
FK Have you ever been asked to model Do you
want to model
Devon Yeah I have been asked to model
actually- when I went to a gig in Camden But
at the time unfortunately I was far too young
I donrsquot really know I donrsquot think I would like
too because itrsquos way too pressurizing
FK What would you like to be if not a
fashion designerboutique owner etc
Devon I would like to be a fashion journalist
or work in a magazine to do with fashion maybe
not designing clothes but working on a catwalk
and dressing models and stuff
FK What is the best compliment you have ever
received on your outfit
Devon Uhm
sbquoYou look nice‛
I donrsquot know (lol)
FK Do you think you have style Are you
confident about that
Devon I like fashion so much that I guess I am
confident in it I love to dress and I hate
looking normal
FK What inspires your sassy style
Devon I take so much inspiration from fashion
websites like look book a lot flipping through
magazines and even when I see people walking
down the street
FK Do you ever worry about your sizes How do
you keep fit and keep in shape
Devon Well I do so many team sports like
hockey or netball When I am at home I
sometimes go on a quick job or something but
I absolutely hate going to the gym
FK What influences your style
Devon Quite a few people but mostly
Celebrities especially those who have amazing
dress sense like Alexa Chung But I have to
say I prefer English people and their style way
more than Americans mostly because I think
British people are more original than Americans
FK Have you ever considered fashion designing
Devon OMG Yeah I have But I am more interested
in just getting into the fashion industry
because designing is way harder to get into and
is too competitive for me
FK Do you make your own designs
Devon Yeah sometimes But itrsquos more like a
trial and error kind of thing because most of
them go so wrong hahaha
FK Do you have any tips for anyone to look as
fab as you do
Devon Just be yourself And feel confident in
what you wear
ldquoI love to
dress up why
not dress to
impressrdquo

to pull a few strings and I got my
hands on a fake ID The next day at
school I showed it off and everyone
practically bowed down to me I was
now buying cigarettes for almost all
the under ages in the school
The next month I was 14 and as the
park was a bit young for us we were
going to try pubs With our fake IDrsquos
at the ready we went
round all the pubs in the area
meeting older guys and mucking
around We were offered a joint (you
could smoke inside back then) by
some boys a bit older and when we
took it we felt so cool It felt
better than smoking and we didnrsquot
exactly think of weed as a drug I
was failing in school also I felt
like a real rebel then
The hole got DEEPER
Before I knew it was my best friendrsquos
birthday and she decided we should
all go clubbing We planned our night
out weeks in advance We organized
outfits and fake names and ages
excuses everything As we cued up to
get in the adrenaline pumped around
my body and I nervously looked this
way and that Would the bouncer
realize I was just 14
We got to the door and hey presto the
rope was lifted and we entered The
heat hit me and the music resounded
in my bones
I was nervous at first but after a
few margaritas I was more than
confident This one guy who had been
watching us all night came up to my
friend and me He took out some white
powder from his pocket and asked if we
wanted a pick me up
My friends all said yes so I just went
along to the loo with them I didnrsquot want
to get left out So there we were snorting
coke off the toilet lid I felt amazing
the best I have ever felt in my life So
this was what all the fuss was about
drugs were brilliant In the morning I
woke up with a splitting headache moving
an inch felt like dragging a ton of bricks for a mile but it was worth it After that
night we met up with the same guy a couple
more times and he introduced us to his
drug dealer so that we could get the
cocaine direct
Somehow I was always the one who went to
the drug dealer with my friendrsquos money to
get the cocaine I wasnrsquot scared of him
because he was a schoolboy just a little
older than me and I had already met some
of his friends The more I took it the
more I needed of it I would buy the coke
with the money they gave me but I wouldnrsquot
give them the drugs I had bought with it
that was for me I gave them my own mix
with just a sprinkle of what they should
have been getting
I never felt guilty about my actions
this wasnrsquot stealing cheating or lying-
this was looking out for my friends It
wouldnrsquot have been right for me to watch
them damage their bodies The drugs worked
differently for me because I was stronger
than them Soon I stopped hanging out with
the people who I had first started smoking
with and moved onto a completely different
bunch of people who were so much cooler
ldquoTHE TOASTER SHATTERED ON
HER HEAD AND I RANrdquo
As the months passed I had practically
left school and money was running low
When I asked my parents they would say no
I think they knew I had a problem and they
confronted me about it I promised I would
stop but how dare they take away my money
and freedom I was a teenager I needed
fun I got desperate for more soon if my
parents wouldnrsquot give me money I would
steal it Money and goods went missing
from the house and I grew anxious that m
parents were on to me
One day my mum came downstairs and saw
me riffling through her purse She
looked heartbroken when she saw me I
was in debt with my dealer but I needed
one more kick just one more
ldquoYou promised you would stop Put the
money back for goodness sakerdquo Damn she
was going to kill me I needed this shot
first though so I grabbed the nearest
thing to me and threw it The toaster
shattered on her skull and I ran
The EPIPHANY
After that I was banned from the house
and my family refused contact with me I
had a little brother he still doesnrsquot
talk to me now I went from friendrsquos
house to friendrsquos house getting kicked
out by their parents again and again
and stealing and sneaking to get more
coke I was on the last friendly place
in my address book when I was
confronted
ldquoIf you want to stay here any longer
then you have to stop My parents say
that the next thing you do your out Irsquom
sorry but yoursquove changed so much
Yoursquore moody and hang out with the cool
people and the drug dealers I donrsquot
even know who you arerdquo I will never
forget those words That hit me hard and
I felt low all day I just needed one
more line How much harm can one line
do
I was staggering down my dealers road
when a dark figure confronted me
ldquoYou owe me big time I want the money
back nowrdquo
I explained to him how sorry I was but
my parents had kicked me out and I was
staying with friends I would have his
money if he gave me a couple of weeks
ldquoHE USED MY HEAD AS A
FOOTBALLrdquo
ldquoNo I want it now yoursquore going to
give it to me nowrdquo Suddenly a big car
pulled up a man got out of it and
pushed me to the ground repeatedly
kicking me in the head I was nearly
unconscious but I can clearly remember
what happened next My drug dealer a man I thought
was the only one looking out and caring for me
raped me that night
Somehow I woke up in hospital No one visited me
because I had turned everyone I had ever loved
against me no one but myself was to blame for what
had happened I was discharged from hospital but I
didnrsquot have anything but the clothes on my back
There I was on a park bench bruises and cuts
another homeless person stinking and begging I had
never been so scared in my life
I now had two options call my mum and beg for
forgiveness or steal some money and get high I sat
there for a long time hesitant about both ideas
but thankfully I decided to call my mum She was
there in twenty minutes which just about gave me
enough time to think about what I would do when I
got home I was depressed and so I was going to
need to borrow some money for some more gear
I got in the car but instead of heading home we
went to another part of town straight to rehab
If I had learnt anything from gossip mags it was
that rehab was like a hotel you went in slept in
a clean environment and went out Soon I would be
back on the good stuff and with my familyrsquos money
to support me
Three months later and I was still there working
hard learning how to take care of myself It was
weird I never realized all I had forgotten taking
a shower brushing my teeth getting dressed in
clean clothes My parents were running out of money
though and had to take me out I took more drugs
and was admitted back I left again but eventually
gave into drugs You learn from your mistakes but
drugs are different you are not you anymore
Irsquom clean now I have friends and family who love
and trust me and I recently started dating That
takes a lot of confidence because when most people
hear about my past they flinch and judge me but
Irsquom not that person With no qualifications I canrsquot
fulfill my childhood dreams or be the best I could
of been when I was twelve but this is the new me
my new life I still have brain damage I always
will but I am able to function and share my
experiences with other people I wish I had
listened I wish someone had shown me what my life
would become I wish I had known that drugs werenrsquot
cool

Dear Shauna
I understand it must be hard for you
having lost someone and you may feel
very alone right now but try to think
about how your grandad would feel if
he knew how upset you were and also
your family They have just been
through a loss of one of their family
members and Irsquom sure they would all
miss you Counseling isnrsquot always the
way to solve peoplersquos problems You
have to take into account that the
death wasnrsquot your fault running away
wonrsquot bring your grandad back Irsquom
sure he would want you to remember
the good things about him when he
was alive and not to be sad Talk to
you cousin maybe she feels the same
way and has a better way of dealing
with it Everyone has different coping
strategies and running away isnrsquot
going to help anyone and especially
not you You canrsquot run away from life
or yoursquoll be running forever If you are
still having problems try talking to the
Samaritans They help people who are
having problems like this all the time
and theyrsquoll have plenty of good advice
for you

Dear Jenny
The most important thing is that you
are confident Everyone is different
in one way or another and people
who treat you differently for the way
you look just arenrsquot worth talking to
Anyway Irsquove heard from a good deal
of males out there that they prefer
someone with a bit more flesh on
them to someone whorsquos stick thin
You should definitely listen to your
mum if you do feel like you need to
lose weight just start cutting down
on a few snacks but donrsquot do
anything extreme Crash dieting and
excessive dieting is bad for everyone
and itrsquos proven that the average
women puts on twice the weight she
loses from dieting I think itrsquos
fantastic that you are quite
confident with your body and you
shouldnrsquot let anything or anyone
change that Hope this helps

Dear Mary Jane
If your friends are refusing to be seen
with you because you donrsquot smoke pot
then they arenrsquot worth it Marijuana
or weed as it is more commonly
known can have serious effects on
your mental health and is not
beneficially to your brain Yes it can
make you feel more relaxed but itrsquos
also illegal Your friends are probably
going through a rebellious phase
when they think theyre cool when
really they are just being stupid
Wasting their money and causing
themselves harm If you have any
concerns about Cannabis then you can
look at Frank a company that are
trying to educate people about the
effects of drugs and alcohol abuse
They may think it helps them have fun
but if your friends canrsquot just have fun
without drugs then your friends are
not very interesting people You
should try talking to more sensible
fun and intelligent people Your
friends are just being silly and not
looking after themselves and
subsequently offering you is also them
trying to harm you although they may
not realize it yet

The HISTORY
Let me take you back about 5
months ago it was spring term
and I was 13 years old I was
attending an all girls private
school in London it was a good
school and I had a great group
of friends After school we
would go to Hyde Park and hang
out with other school kids
trying to pull some guys
This particular afternoon one of
my friends had bought a pack of
cigarettes I was shocked as she
handed them round and all my
friends took one and lit up I 26
FIZZLE KICKS Real Life Stories
Names and pictures are changed to protect identities
was disgusted I couldnrsquot believe
they were like that Of course I was
just looking out for them but I
lectured and nagged about how bad it
was and that they would all grow up
and get cancer I wasnrsquot going to
hang out with them if they were
smoking so I marched home early and
didnrsquot call them or talk to them for
the whole weekend which was silly
because I was just punishing myself
I thought they would come round but
as the hours lengthened I knew that I
had to choose I didnrsquot want to lose
my friends and the only way I could
see that happening was if I did
something really cool So I decided
to pull a few strings and I got my
hands on a fake ID The next day at
school I showed it off and everyone
practically bowed down to me I was
now buying cigarettes for almost all
the under ages in the school

some boys a bit older and when we

exactly think of weed as a drug I
was failing in school also I felt
like a real rebel then
The hole got DEEPER
Before I knew it was my best friendrsquos
birthday and she decided we should
all go clubbing We planned our night
out weeks in advance We organized
outfits and fake names and ages
excuses everything As we cued up to
get in the adrenaline pumped around
my body and I nervously looked this
way and that Would the bouncer
realize I was just 14
We got to the door and hey presto the
rope was lifted and we entered The
heat hit me and the music resounded
in my bones
I was nervous at first but after a
few margaritas I was more than
confident This one guy who had been
watching us all night came up to my
friend and me He took out some white
powder from his pocket and asked if we
wanted a pick me up

Somehow I was always the one who went to
the drug dealer with my friendrsquos money to
get the cocaine I wasnrsquot scared of him
because he was a schoolboy just a little
older than me and I had already met some
of his friends The more I took it the
more I needed of it I would buy the coke
with the money they gave me but I wouldnrsquot

lsquoDRUGS ARENrsquoT
COOL- I
LEARNT THAT
THE HARD
WAYrsquo
The HISTORY
Let me take you back about 5
months ago it was spring term
and I was 13 years old I was
attending an all girls private
school in London it was a good
school and I had a great group
of friends After school we
would go to Hyde Park and hang
out with other school kids
trying to pull some guys
This particular afternoon one of
my friends had bought a pack of
cigarettes I was shocked as she
handed them round and all my
friends took one and lit up I 26
FIZZLE KICKS Real Life Stories
Names and pictures are changed to protect identities
was disgusted I couldnrsquot believe
they were like that Of course I was
just looking out for them but I
lectured and nagged about how bad it
was and that they would all grow up
and get cancer I wasnrsquot going to
hang out with them if they were
smoking so I marched home early and
didnrsquot call them or talk to them for
the whole weekend which was silly
because I was just punishing myself
I thought they would come round but
as the hours lengthened I knew that I
had to choose I didnrsquot want to lose
my friends and the only way I could
see that happening was if I did
something really cool So I decided
to pull a few strings and I got my
hands on a fake ID The next day at
school I showed it off and everyone
practically bowed down to me I was
now buying cigarettes for almost all
the under ages in the school
The next month I was 14 and as the
park was a bit young for us we were
going to try pubs With our fake IDrsquos
at the ready we went
round all the pubs in the area
meeting older guys and mucking
around We were offered a joint (you
could smoke inside back then) by
some boys a bit older and when we
took it we felt so cool It felt
better than smoking and we didnrsquot
exactly think of weed as a drug I
was failing in school also I felt
like a real rebel then
The hole got DEEPER
Before I knew it was my best friendrsquos
birthday and she decided we should
all go clubbing We planned our night
out weeks in advance We organized
outfits and fake names and ages
excuses everything As we cued up to
get in the adrenaline pumped around
my body and I nervously looked this
way and that Would the bouncer
realize I was just 14
We got to the door and hey presto the
rope was lifted and we entered The
heat hit me and the music resounded
in my bones
I was nervous at first but after a
few margaritas I was more than
confident This one guy who had been
watching us all night came up to my
friend and me He took out some white
powder from his pocket and asked if we
wanted a pick me up
My friends all said yes so I just went
along to the loo with them I didnrsquot want
to get left out So there we were snorting
coke off the toilet lid I felt amazing
the best I have ever felt in my life So
this was what all the fuss was about
drugs were brilliant In the morning I
woke up with a splitting headache moving
an inch felt like dragging a ton of bricks for a mile but it was worth it After that
night we met up with the same guy a couple
more times and he introduced us to his
drug dealer so that we could get the
cocaine direct
Somehow I was always the one who went to
the drug dealer with my friendrsquos money to
get the cocaine I wasnrsquot scared of him
because he was a schoolboy just a little
older than me and I had already met some
of his friends The more I took it the
more I needed of it I would buy the coke
with the money they gave me but I wouldnrsquot
give them the drugs I had bought with it
that was for me I gave them my own mix
with just a sprinkle of what they should
have been getting
I never felt guilty about my actions
this wasnrsquot stealing cheating or lying-
this was looking out for my friends It
wouldnrsquot have been right for me to watch
them damage their bodies The drugs worked
differently for me because I was stronger
than them Soon I stopped hanging out with
the people who I had first started smoking
with and moved onto a completely different
bunch of people who were so much cooler
ldquoTHE TOASTER SHATTERED ON
HER HEAD AND I RANrdquo
As the months passed I had practically
left school and money was running low
When I asked my parents they would say no
I think they knew I had a problem and they
confronted me about it I promised I would
stop but how dare they take away my money
and freedom I was a teenager I needed
fun I got desperate for more soon if my
parents wouldnrsquot give me money I would
steal it Money and goods went missing
from the house and I grew anxious that m
parents were on to me
One day my mum came downstairs and saw
me riffling through her purse She
looked heartbroken when she saw me I
was in debt with my dealer but I needed
one more kick just one more
ldquoYou promised you would stop Put the
money back for goodness sakerdquo Damn she
was going to kill me I needed this shot
first though so I grabbed the nearest
thing to me and threw it The toaster
shattered on her skull and I ran
The EPIPHANY
After that I was banned from the house
and my family refused contact with me I
had a little brother he still doesnrsquot
talk to me now I went from friendrsquos
house to friendrsquos house getting kicked
out by their parents again and again
and stealing and sneaking to get more
coke I was on the last friendly place
in my address book when I was
confronted
ldquoIf you want to stay here any longer
then you have to stop My parents say
that the next thing you do your out Irsquom
sorry but yoursquove changed so much
Yoursquore moody and hang out with the cool
people and the drug dealers I donrsquot
even know who you arerdquo I will never
forget those words That hit me hard and
I felt low all day I just needed one
more line How much harm can one line
do
I was staggering down my dealers road
when a dark figure confronted me
ldquoYou owe me big time I want the money
back nowrdquo
I explained to him how sorry I was but
my parents had kicked me out and I was
staying with friends I would have his
money if he gave me a couple of weeks
ldquoHE USED MY HEAD AS A
FOOTBALLrdquo
ldquoNo I want it now yoursquore going to
give it to me nowrdquo Suddenly a big car
pulled up a man got out of it and
pushed me to the ground repeatedly
kicking me in the head I was nearly
unconscious but I can clearly remember
what happened next My drug dealer a man I thought
was the only one looking out and caring for me
raped me that night
Somehow I woke up in hospital No one visited me
because I had turned everyone I had ever loved
against me no one but myself was to blame for what
had happened I was discharged from hospital but I
didnrsquot have anything but the clothes on my back
There I was on a park bench bruises and cuts
another homeless person stinking and begging I had
never been so scared in my life
I now had two options call my mum and beg for
forgiveness or steal some money and get high I sat
there for a long time hesitant about both ideas
but thankfully I decided to call my mum She was
there in twenty minutes which just about gave me
enough time to think about what I would do when I
got home I was depressed and so I was going to
need to borrow some money for some more gear
I got in the car but instead of heading home we
went to another part of town straight to rehab
If I had learnt anything from gossip mags it was
that rehab was like a hotel you went in slept in
a clean environment and went out Soon I would be
back on the good stuff and with my familyrsquos money
to support me
Three months later and I was still there working
hard learning how to take care of myself It was
weird I never realized all I had forgotten taking
a shower brushing my teeth getting dressed in
clean clothes My parents were running out of money
though and had to take me out I took more drugs
and was admitted back I left again but eventually
gave into drugs You learn from your mistakes but
drugs are different you are not you anymore
Irsquom clean now I have friends and family who love
and trust me and I recently started dating That
takes a lot of confidence because when most people
hear about my past they flinch and judge me but
Irsquom not that person With no qualifications I canrsquot
fulfill my childhood dreams or be the best I could
of been when I was twelve but this is the new me
my new life I still have brain damage I always
will but I am able to function and share my
experiences with other people I wish I had
listened I wish someone had shown me what my life
would become I wish I had known that drugs werenrsquot
cool

FIZZLE KICKS Shop My Look
Designs Devonrsquos FK What made you dress so uniquely
Devon Erm I donrsquot really know I just hate
looking like everybody else I Love to look
fashionable and try new styles out
FK What are your favorite clothing boutiques
Devon I love to shop in places like Portobello
market and around there And also I like to go
to charity shops because itrsquos basically vintage
but itrsquos so much cheaper I also love the
ordinary high street shops like top shop and
new look
FK Have you ever been asked to model Do you
want to model
Devon Yeah I have been asked to model
actually- when I went to a gig in Camden But
at the time unfortunately I was far too young
I donrsquot really know I donrsquot think I would like
too because itrsquos way too pressurizing
FK What would you like to be if not a
fashion designerboutique owner etc
Devon I would like to be a fashion journalist
or work in a magazine to do with fashion maybe
not designing clothes but working on a catwalk
and dressing models and stuff
FK What is the best compliment you have ever
received on your outfit
Devon Uhm
sbquoYou look nice‛
I donrsquot know (lol)
FK Do you think you have style Are you
confident about that
Devon I like fashion so much that I guess I am
confident in it I love to dress and I hate
looking normal
FK What inspires your sassy style
Devon I take so much inspiration from fashion
websites like look book a lot flipping through
magazines and even when I see people walking
down the street
FK Do you ever worry about your sizes How do
you keep fit and keep in shape
Devon Well I do so many team sports like
hockey or netball When I am at home I
sometimes go on a quick job or something but
I absolutely hate going to the gym
FK What influences your style
Devon Quite a few people but mostly
Celebrities especially those who have amazing
dress sense like Alexa Chung But I have to
say I prefer English people and their style way
more than Americans mostly because I think
British people are more original than Americans
FK Have you ever considered fashion designing
Devon OMG Yeah I have But I am more interested
in just getting into the fashion industry
because designing is way harder to get into and
is too competitive for me
FK Do you make your own designs
Devon Yeah sometimes But itrsquos more like a
trial and error kind of thing because most of
them go so wrong hahaha
FK Do you have any tips for anyone to look as
fab as you do
Devon Just be yourself And feel confident in
what you wear
ldquoI love to
dress up why
not dress to
impressrdquo

If I had learnt anything from gossip mags it was
that rehab was like a hotel you went in slept in
a clean environment and went out Soon I would be
back on the good stuff and with my familyrsquos money
to support me
Three months later and I was still there working
hard learning how to take care of myself It was
weird I never realized all I had forgotten taking
a shower brushing my teeth getting dressed in
clean clothes My parents were running out of money
though and had to take me out I took more drugs
and was admitted back I left again but eventually
gave into drugs You learn from your mistakes but
drugs are different you are not you anymore
Irsquom clean now I have friends and family who love
and trust me and I recently started dating That
takes a lot of confidence because when most people
hear about my past they flinch and judge me but
Irsquom not that person With no qualifications I canrsquot
fulfill my childhood dreams or be the best I could
of been when I was twelve but this is the new me
my new life I still have brain damage I always
will but I am able to function and share my
experiences with other people I wish I had
listened I wish someone had shown me what my life
would become I wish I had known that drugs werenrsquot

COOL- I
LEARNT THAT
THE HARD
WAYrsquo
The HISTORY
Let me take you back about 5
months ago it was spring term
and I was 13 years old I was
attending an all girls private
school in London it was a good
school and I had a great group
of friends After school we
would go to Hyde Park and hang
out with other school kids
trying to pull some guys
This particular afternoon one of
my friends had bought a pack of
cigarettes I was shocked as she
handed them round and all my
friends took one and lit up I 26
FIZZLE KICKS Real Life Stories
Names and pictures are changed to protect identities
was disgusted I couldnrsquot believe
they were like that Of course I was
just looking out for them but I
lectured and nagged about how bad it
was and that they would all grow up
and get cancer I wasnrsquot going to
hang out with them if they were
smoking so I marched home early and
didnrsquot call them or talk to them for
the whole weekend which was silly
because I was just punishing myself
I thought they would come round but
as the hours lengthened I knew that I
had to choose I didnrsquot want to lose
my friends and the only way I could
see that happening was if I did
something really cool So I decided
to pull a few strings and I got my
hands on a fake ID The next day at
school I showed it off and everyone
practically bowed down to me I was
now buying cigarettes for almost all
the under ages in the school
The next month I was 14 and as the
park was a bit young for us we were
going to try pubs With our fake IDrsquos
at the ready we went
round all the pubs in the area
meeting older guys and mucking
around We were offered a joint (you
could smoke inside back then) by
some boys a bit older and when we
took it we felt so cool It felt
better than smoking and we didnrsquot
exactly think of weed as a drug I
was failing in school also I felt
like a real rebel then
The hole got DEEPER
Before I knew it was my best friendrsquos
birthday and she decided we should
all go clubbing We planned our night
out weeks in advance We organized
outfits and fake names and ages
excuses everything As we cued up to
get in the adrenaline pumped around
my body and I nervously looked this
way and that Would the bouncer
realize I was just 14
We got to the door and hey presto the
rope was lifted and we entered The
heat hit me and the music resounded
in my bones
I was nervous at first but after a
few margaritas I was more than
confident This one guy who had been
watching us all night came up to my
friend and me He took out some white
powder from his pocket and asked if we
wanted a pick me up
My friends all said yes so I just went
along to the loo with them I didnrsquot want
to get left out So there we were snorting
coke off the toilet lid I felt amazing
the best I have ever felt in my life So
this was what all the fuss was about
drugs were brilliant In the morning I
woke up with a splitting headache moving
an inch felt like dragging a ton of bricks for a mile but it was worth it After that
night we met up with the same guy a couple
more times and he introduced us to his
drug dealer so that we could get the
cocaine direct
Somehow I was always the one who went to
the drug dealer with my friendrsquos money to
get the cocaine I wasnrsquot scared of him
because he was a schoolboy just a little
older than me and I had already met some
of his friends The more I took it the
more I needed of it I would buy the coke
with the money they gave me but I wouldnrsquot
give them the drugs I had bought with it
that was for me I gave them my own mix
with just a sprinkle of what they should
have been getting
I never felt guilty about my actions
this wasnrsquot stealing cheating or lying-
this was looking out for my friends It
wouldnrsquot have been right for me to watch
them damage their bodies The drugs worked
differently for me because I was stronger
than them Soon I stopped hanging out with
the people who I had first started smoking
with and moved onto a completely different
bunch of people who were so much cooler
ldquoTHE TOASTER SHATTERED ON
HER HEAD AND I RANrdquo
As the months passed I had practically
left school and money was running low
When I asked my parents they would say no
I think they knew I had a problem and they
confronted me about it I promised I would
stop but how dare they take away my money
and freedom I was a teenager I needed
fun I got desperate for more soon if my
parents wouldnrsquot give me money I would
steal it Money and goods went missing
from the house and I grew anxious that m
parents were on to me
One day my mum came downstairs and saw
me riffling through her purse She
looked heartbroken when she saw me I
was in debt with my dealer but I needed
one more kick just one more
ldquoYou promised you would stop Put the
money back for goodness sakerdquo Damn she
was going to kill me I needed this shot
first though so I grabbed the nearest
thing to me and threw it The toaster
shattered on her skull and I ran
The EPIPHANY
After that I was banned from the house
and my family refused contact with me I
had a little brother he still doesnrsquot
talk to me now I went from friendrsquos
house to friendrsquos house getting kicked
out by their parents again and again
and stealing and sneaking to get more
coke I was on the last friendly place
in my address book when I was
confronted
ldquoIf you want to stay here any longer
then you have to stop My parents say
that the next thing you do your out Irsquom
sorry but yoursquove changed so much
Yoursquore moody and hang out with the cool
people and the drug dealers I donrsquot
even know who you arerdquo I will never
forget those words That hit me hard and
I felt low all day I just needed one
more line How much harm can one line
do
I was staggering down my dealers road
when a dark figure confronted me
ldquoYou owe me big time I want the money
back nowrdquo
I explained to him how sorry I was but
my parents had kicked me out and I was
staying with friends I would have his
money if he gave me a couple of weeks
ldquoHE USED MY HEAD AS A
FOOTBALLrdquo
ldquoNo I want it now yoursquore going to
give it to me nowrdquo Suddenly a big car
pulled up a man got out of it and
pushed me to the ground repeatedly
kicking me in the head I was nearly
unconscious but I can clearly remember
what happened next My drug dealer a man I thought
was the only one looking out and caring for me
raped me that night
Somehow I woke up in hospital No one visited me
because I had turned everyone I had ever loved
against me no one but myself was to blame for what
had happened I was discharged from hospital but I
didnrsquot have anything but the clothes on my back
There I was on a park bench bruises and cuts
another homeless person stinking and begging I had
never been so scared in my life
I now had two options call my mum and beg for
forgiveness or steal some money and get high I sat
there for a long time hesitant about both ideas
but thankfully I decided to call my mum She was
there in twenty minutes which just about gave me
enough time to think about what I would do when I
got home I was depressed and so I was going to
need to borrow some money for some more gear
I got in the car but instead of heading home we
went to another part of town straight to rehab
If I had learnt anything from gossip mags it was
that rehab was like a hotel you went in slept in
a clean environment and went out Soon I would be
back on the good stuff and with my familyrsquos money
to support me
Three months later and I was still there working
hard learning how to take care of myself It was
weird I never realized all I had forgotten taking
a shower brushing my teeth getting dressed in
clean clothes My parents were running out of money
though and had to take me out I took more drugs
and was admitted back I left again but eventually
gave into drugs You learn from your mistakes but
drugs are different you are not you anymore
Irsquom clean now I have friends and family who love
and trust me and I recently started dating That
takes a lot of confidence because when most people
hear about my past they flinch and judge me but
Irsquom not that person With no qualifications I canrsquot
fulfill my childhood dreams or be the best I could
of been when I was twelve but this is the new me
my new life I still have brain damage I always
will but I am able to function and share my
experiences with other people I wish I had
listened I wish someone had shown me what my life
would become I wish I had known that drugs werenrsquot

even know who you arerdquo I will never
forget those words That hit me hard and
I felt low all day I just needed one
more line How much harm can one line
do
I was staggering down my dealers road
when a dark figure confronted me
ldquoYou owe me big time I want the money
back nowrdquo
I explained to him how sorry I was but
my parents had kicked me out and I was
staying with friends I would have his
money if he gave me a couple of weeks
ldquoHE USED MY HEAD AS A
FOOTBALLrdquo
ldquoNo I want it now yoursquore going to
give it to me nowrdquo Suddenly a big car
pulled up a man got out of it and
pushed me to the ground repeatedly
kicking me in the head I was nearly
unconscious but I can clearly remember
what happened next My drug dealer a man I thought
was the only one looking out and caring for me
raped me that night
Somehow I woke up in hospital No one visited me
because I had turned everyone I had ever loved
against me no one but myself was to blame for what
had happened I was discharged from hospital but I
didnrsquot have anything but the clothes on my back
There I was on a park bench bruises and cuts
another homeless person stinking and begging I had
never been so scared in my life
I now had two options call my mum and beg for
forgiveness or steal some money and get high I sat
there for a long time hesitant about both ideas
but thankfully I decided to call my mum She was
there in twenty minutes which just about gave me
enough time to think about what I would do when I
got home I was depressed and so I was going to
need to borrow some money for some more gear
I got in the car but instead of heading home we
went to another part of town straight to rehab
If I had learnt anything from gossip mags it was
that rehab was like a hotel you went in slept in
a clean environment and went out Soon I would be
back on the good stuff and with my familyrsquos money
to support me
Three months later and I was still there working
hard learning how to take care of myself It was
weird I never realized all I had forgotten taking
a shower brushing my teeth getting dressed in
clean clothes My parents were running out of money
though and had to take me out I took more drugs
and was admitted back I left again but eventually
gave into drugs You learn from your mistakes but
drugs are different you are not you anymore
Irsquom clean now I have friends and family who love
and trust me and I recently started dating That
takes a lot of confidence because when most people
hear about my past they flinch and judge me but
Irsquom not that person With no qualifications I canrsquot
fulfill my childhood dreams or be the best I could
of been when I was twelve but this is the new me
my new life I still have brain damage I always
will but I am able to function and share my
experiences with other people I wish I had
listened I wish someone had shown me what my life
would become I wish I had known that drugs werenrsquot
cool

looking like everybody else I Love to look
fashionable and try new styles out
FK What are your favorite clothing boutiques

ordinary high street shops like top shop and
new look
FK Have you ever been asked to model Do you
want to model
Devon Yeah I have been asked to model
actually- when I went to a gig in Camden But
at the time unfortunately I was far too young
I donrsquot really know I donrsquot think I would like
too because itrsquos way too pressurizing
FK What would you like to be if not a
fashion designerboutique owner etc
Devon I would like to be a fashion journalist
or work in a magazine to do with fashion maybe
not designing clothes but working on a catwalk
and dressing models and stuff
FK What is the best compliment you have ever
received on your outfit
Devon Uhm
sbquoYou look nice‛

was disgusted I couldnrsquot believe
they were like that Of course I was
just looking out for them but I
lectured and nagged about how bad it
was and that they would all grow up
and get cancer I wasnrsquot going to
hang out with them if they were
smoking so I marched home early and
didnrsquot call them or talk to them for
the whole weekend which was silly
because I was just punishing myself
I thought they would come round but
as the hours lengthened I knew that I
had to choose I didnrsquot want to lose
my friends and the only way I could
see that happening was if I did
something really cool So I decided
to pull a few strings and I got my
hands on a fake ID The next day at
school I showed it off and everyone
practically bowed down to me I was
now buying cigarettes for almost all
the under ages in the school
The next month I was 14 and as the
park was a bit young for us we were
going to try pubs With our fake IDrsquos
at the ready we went
round all the pubs in the area
meeting older guys and mucking
around We were offered a joint (you
could smoke inside back then) by
some boys a bit older and when we
took it we felt so cool It felt
better than smoking and we didnrsquot
exactly think of weed as a drug I
was failing in school also I felt
like a real rebel then
The hole got DEEPER
Before I knew it was my best friendrsquos
birthday and she decided we should
all go clubbing We planned our night
out weeks in advance We organized
outfits and fake names and ages
excuses everything As we cued up to
get in the adrenaline pumped around
my body and I nervously looked this
way and that Would the bouncer
realize I was just 14
We got to the door and hey presto the
rope was lifted and we entered The
heat hit me and the music resounded
in my bones
I was nervous at first but after a
few margaritas I was more than
confident This one guy who had been
watching us all night came up to my
friend and me He took out some white
powder from his pocket and asked if we
wanted a pick me up
My friends all said yes so I just went
along to the loo with them I didnrsquot want
to get left out So there we were snorting
coke off the toilet lid I felt amazing
the best I have ever felt in my life So
this was what all the fuss was about
drugs were brilliant In the morning I
woke up with a splitting headache moving
an inch felt like dragging a ton of bricks for a mile but it was worth it After that
night we met up with the same guy a couple
more times and he introduced us to his
drug dealer so that we could get the
cocaine direct
Somehow I was always the one who went to
the drug dealer with my friendrsquos money to
get the cocaine I wasnrsquot scared of him
because he was a schoolboy just a little
older than me and I had already met some
of his friends The more I took it the
more I needed of it I would buy the coke
with the money they gave me but I wouldnrsquot
give them the drugs I had bought with it
that was for me I gave them my own mix
with just a sprinkle of what they should
have been getting
I never felt guilty about my actions
this wasnrsquot stealing cheating or lying-
this was looking out for my friends It
wouldnrsquot have been right for me to watch
them damage their bodies The drugs worked
differently for me because I was stronger
than them Soon I stopped hanging out with
the people who I had first started smoking
with and moved onto a completely different
bunch of people who were so much cooler
ldquoTHE TOASTER SHATTERED ON
HER HEAD AND I RANrdquo
As the months passed I had practically
left school and money was running low
When I asked my parents they would say no
I think they knew I had a problem and they
confronted me about it I promised I would
stop but how dare they take away my money
and freedom I was a teenager I needed
fun I got desperate for more soon if my
parents wouldnrsquot give me money I would
steal it Money and goods went missing
from the house and I grew anxious that m
parents were on to me
One day my mum came downstairs and saw
me riffling through her purse She
looked heartbroken when she saw me I
was in debt with my dealer but I needed
one more kick just one more
ldquoYou promised you would stop Put the
money back for goodness sakerdquo Damn she
was going to kill me I needed this shot
first though so I grabbed the nearest
thing to me and threw it The toaster
shattered on her skull and I ran
The EPIPHANY
After that I was banned from the house
and my family refused contact with me I
had a little brother he still doesnrsquot
talk to me now I went from friendrsquos
house to friendrsquos house getting kicked
out by their parents again and again
and stealing and sneaking to get more
coke I was on the last friendly place
in my address book when I was
confronted
ldquoIf you want to stay here any longer
then you have to stop My parents say
that the next thing you do your out Irsquom
sorry but yoursquove changed so much
Yoursquore moody and hang out with the cool
people and the drug dealers I donrsquot

not designing clothes but working on a catwalk
and dressing models and stuff
FK What is the best compliment you have ever
received on your outfit
Devon Uhm
sbquoYou look nice‛
I donrsquot know (lol)
FK Do you think you have style Are you
confident about that
Devon I like fashion so much that I guess I am
confident in it I love to dress and I hate
looking normal
FK What inspires your sassy style
Devon I take so much inspiration from fashion
websites like look book a lot flipping through
magazines and even when I see people walking
down the street
FK Do you ever worry about your sizes How do
you keep fit and keep in shape
Devon Well I do so many team sports like
hockey or netball When I am at home I
sometimes go on a quick job or something but
I absolutely hate going to the gym
FK What influences your style
Devon Quite a few people but mostly
Celebrities especially those who have amazing
dress sense like Alexa Chung But I have to
say I prefer English people and their style way
more than Americans mostly because I think
British people are more original than Americans
FK Have you ever considered fashion designing
Devon OMG Yeah I have But I am more interested
in just getting into the fashion industry
because designing is way harder to get into and
is too competitive for me
FK Do you make your own designs
Devon Yeah sometimes But itrsquos more like a
trial and error kind of thing because most of
them go so wrong hahaha
FK Do you have any tips for anyone to look as
fab as you do
Devon Just be yourself And feel confident in
what you wear
ldquoI love to
dress up why
not dress to
impressrdquo
