------ About the song What Would You Do performed by City High
I love this song, Im a 13 year old girl, I never really got raped but when I was about 6 or 7 i did get abused by my parents but they didn't see it as simply abusing the just saw it as " lickens ". When I was at least 9 I turn to drugs and alcohol. I started to smoke weed and drink beer and all the hard stuff.I did run away because of my blood dad he use to say that i was simply stupid and useless. So that's when I also turned to cutting myself. I never did it for the attention but that's what every one thought only because i had younger sibilings. When i was 12 during the summer i had gotten pregnant by my now ex- boy friend I sadly HAD AN ABORTION I had to take shots and pills 24/7 nobody knows but my good friend shes the only one who knows my own parents don't even know because im afraid my moms only going to think im a slut. I guess you could say i did prostitution because one time when i had sex after the guy had given my 50 bucks.
Now im 13 i have a wonderful boyfriend we just started going out i have a lot of feelings for him he is 17 and the best thing that happen 2 me so far in my love life.

------ About the song What Would You Do performed by City High
The first time I heard this song I fell in love with it. I havent gone through everything in this song but I can definately relate to it. I was adopted when I was two years old but I see my adopted parents as my REAL parents. My birth mother was and still is a crack user and my birth father went to prison before I was born and he is still there. My adopted daddy died when I was five and I miss him soooo much. Anyways my mom later got with this guy who is now my "stepdad", who is an alcoholic. He raped me once when I was seven. I didnt tell my mom about it but she soon found out from my twin brother. I dont remember much but I know for some reason my mom made me feel bad about it and she never told me that it wasnt my fault. I remember trying to runaway when I was eight but i didnt go far because i didnt have a safe place i could go. Like I said she is still with him to this day. That happened when I was seven and Im now sixteen. I moved out of my moms when I was twelve, now I stay with my maternal grandpa. Luckily I got away from the situation but I know many other girls dont. I have never been pregnant so i dont know what its like to have a baby and have to take care of it. And even though I was adopted, I dont know what its like to have to consider giving a child away. But I know if i did have a child at my age, I would do anything to protect him or her and provide for it, even if it was prostitution. I know that many people frown upon prostitution but lets be real. What kind of job can a TEEN mother get WITHOUT a high school diploma? Plus government assistant can only do so much. It saddens me to even think about it. Its sad that so many different girls from all over go through the same horrible things everyday. Maybe one day the world will be a better place........maybe.
this song defines my life.
my dad died when i was 3. i got raped by my step dad 6 times when i was 8 when i tride to tell sumone about it he started beating me eventualy when i was 10 my mom finelly left him after she seen the bruises and cuts on me. after she left him he followed us when we moved and held a gun to my moms head.my mom turned to drugs so by the age of 10 i was smokeing, by the age of 11 i started to weed,acid,estascy,dexies and any prescription drug i could get ahold of.i ran away when i was 13 and moved in with my cousin i got pregnet when i was 14 and got kicked out of her house. so i was livein with a friend and sleeping with guys for money. i eventually got a std and new i had to stop so went back to school and got a normal job and got a apartment for me and my baby. i am now 17 and my baby girl is 3. now she can have the life she needs to grow up and not make the same mistakes as me.
This song is very sad, and i think that what some people are saying above is wrong, if you are a young mum and things are going badly, there are ways to cope, rather than resulting to prostitution. there is always someone to listen (:

------ About the song What Would You Do performed by City High
This song is really sad and the worst bit is knowing that so many people go through this. I wish the government would do more to support people in this situation so they didn't have to turn to prostitution, but most girls in this situation don't have a choice. Not many people will employ a young girl with a baby.
dont judge | Reviewer: klasjdf
------ About the song What Would You Do performed by City High
for everyone saying get a respectable job: don't judge. I myself at 19 have thankfully never been through any of the hurtful and life changing events that others have and would not for a moment say I understand what that is like. However, the people saying to get a respectable job are ignorant of the fact that because we are talking about women that are so young, a respectable job means minimum wage. It is impossible to earn enough money on one minimum wage salary to take care of a baby and yourself. Not to mention the girls on here that are 12 and 13 years old that have a baby are not old enough to have a minimum wage job. Don't get me wrong, I am in no way condoning prostitution or stipping, I just think there should be an alternative for women that want to keep there baby and have no way of earning a sufficient income.

I'm 13 now and I ran away when I was 9 cuz my dad got out of prison and raped me so I had to live in the streets in Detroit Michigan till my aunt found me. I remember that a lot of guys would try to have sex with me and 3 raped me so I just started having sex for money.

------ About the song What Would You Do performed by City High
i have had many things happen to me. im not about to out right say what, but id say they were pretty bad. but i got better. all you have to do is put your pride away and ask for help. Im 26 years old, I was raped when I was 13 by my biological father. he disapeared and i became pregnant. i didn't know what to do. i actually tried killing myself, and the baby. i was so ashamed, nobody believed that my father raped me. they thought that i was simply a slut, and because of the accusations i had made my father had fled. my own mother did not believe me and i remember clearly, her slapping me in the face and kicking me out of her house. i had no where to go for a while, until an older cousin of mine saw me in the streets. she started talking to me, but i thought she would judge me. she encouraged me to stay with her in her apartment but i rejected the thought. i didn't want to seem weak. but then i was soon due to have the baby, she had given me her number, and was the only person who would answer the phone when i was having my baby. she came, and was there for me. and she has been ever since. my baby girl is thirteen years old now, and as healthy as ever. i visit my friend every chance i can
as far back as i can remember i have been abused by my blood father and iv been put in da hospital 6 times iv had worse things happen to me than everyone i know put together and i to have been put out on the street fourced to live with friends and im 13 and have a 2 week old baby and its hard but i havnt turned to prostitution yet but im thinkin bout it.

dis song | Reviewer: beauty
------ About the song What Would You Do performed by City High
all im saying is people are getting the wrong picture from this song it is saying you should not use ur child as a excuse selling drugs prostituition, all of dah shit shud not be dun. dis song is telling people the types of ecxuses people have for doing theese jobs. yes people may not know what yu have been through but you cant sit der feeling sorry for yourslef ma mum always told me der is always someone in a situation more worse than you so in every situation give thanks to god because u may have something special which u have gained from theese situations u might not have had if u did not go through them.there is a saying i always say if i am goin through rough times "I AM THE AUTHOR OF MY LIFE, SADLY I AM WRITING IN PEN AND ALL THE MISTAKES I MADE CAN NOT BE ERASED THE ONLY OPTION IS TO MOVE ON AND TURN A PAGE". all the people who have been raped and been suicidal i am very sorry but although u have gone through problems it is stupid to do these things because life only comes once and you need 2 live it to the fullest fuck what peopla say bwt you or think about u. God put you in this world for a reason for all you know you could make a change achieve the unachievable and live your life. BY THE WAY I AM 12 YEARS OLD

this song to me is very touchin. i have been raped when i was younger by a kid i went to school with. i was abused when i was younger. throwin into walls. pulled an pushed down steps. an i also was pregnant twice by 2 dif
guys (over a year apart)but i lost both babies. ): i was in a realationship with the guys when i got pregnant. an when i told the fathers that i was pregnant they wanted nothin to do with the baby.they didnt even care an the one guy already had his ex pregnant an then the other guy just got a new gf. an i said fine ill do it by myself even though at the time i didnt really think i could but honestly i think if i wouldnt have lost either baby that i would be strong enough to get through it. cuz i work an i got my family an friends who have been there though all the ups an downs. and when i was pregnant both times i would listen to this song cause it made me stronger each n everyday
