At 15 I was a sophomore in high school and I started to “scalp” concert tickets in school, so I’d only appear at school to sell high priced front row concert tickets for a guy named “Foxy”, then I’d take a cab home or to a friends parent’s house and we’d sit around and get high on weed… I dropped out of high school the day I turned 16 years old and lived on the streets and if I was lucky on couches. * age 15 – getting serious: This was a tough time in my life, I started to run away from home at a younger age, but around this age I was really starting to run away or disappear.
