Erin Kay || 18 || Senior
Erin grew up in the 'rough' area of her town which meant there was a lot of violence, drug and alcohol abuse, swearing and parties around her area. Erin never fit in with the people she lived with, she was super intelligent and never got herself involved with the people in her community. Erin didn't really party unless it was with friends and she was in a trustworthy area. Erin was the girl that had a smile on her face at school and everybody got along with her, they all knew that she didn't have a lot of money but didn't really care. She was talkative, honest and just plain lovely. Everybody couldn't help but love Erin with her crazy ways.Â
Erin grew up without a father as Leanne got knocked up when she was 15 years old and had no idea who the father was as she slept around a lot.  This meant the Erin was often left home alone, she had to learn to fend for herself and she often got used to being alone. One night Erin left the house in search for her mother as she hadn't returned home with their food and Erin was starving. Whilst out Erin bumped into her good friend Jade who invited her to a party, Erin hesitated but soon gave in and attended the party with Jade. Alcohol was being served and under the pressure Erin drank a little bit, although she didn't drink to the point of being totally wasted.Â
Erin and Jade started making their way to Erin's house; Jade was staying there after sorting it with her mother. They was both slightly tipsy when they got approached by a strange looking man, he pulled a gun out of his pocket and held it to Jade demanding money from her bag. Jade began frantically searching through her bag but not in time, he shot her snatched the bag and ran away leaving Erin to watch her best friend die.Â
After this Erin wasn't the same girl she used to be, she kept herself to herself and only left the house to go to school which she often didn't even attend anymore. Erin's grades decreased, her friends decreased but most of all her happiness decreased. Erin slipped into depression, her positive outlook on life disappeared and the worst part was Leanne didn't even care. Leanne still left Erin home alone, she even began to leave Erin for several days alone in her home until child services took Erin away.
Once Erin left home things got worse, she began self-harming using any type of blades she found in her foster parents house and she always hid them away. When Erin left her foster parents she'd take the blades with her, she managed to get herself 46 blades by the time she was caught.
When Erin was caught she was sent to therapy, they understood her problems but didn't help her in the slightest but so her final set of foster parents sent her to Clearwater.
Secret:Â Erin self-harms, she also got taken away from her mother when she was younger.
