    About Me

    My name is Ashley. I am 17 years old.. I have a long-term history with depression and anxiety. My 25 year old sister passed away this past February giving birth. I have another sister, whom is 23 and a 20 year old brother. In October, I was sexually assaulted. I go to counseling and have been on many different medications. I let people take advantage of my kindness. I am a really nice person. I would just like to meet people that need someone to talk to or that I can vent to when I need extra help sometimes.

    Interests

    Reading, Clothing Design, Psychology, Music, Cheerleading
