.HIDDEN TRUTHI am John , I grow up without the love and care of my parents. My parents don't have time for me, they only provide food and school fees. I don’t open up to them anymore about my feelings.Deeply in thoughts on what to do to make myself happy, l thought of hard drugs in order to bring back my sanity. I started taking hard drugs till the point that l couldn’t afford to purchase them and then l started buying them on credit.One day, l was in class and l saw a text message from Mr Kinglsey , the guy that sells the hard drugs to me. He gave me a deadline to pay up the five hundred thousand naira that I’m owing him. I wasn’t able to meet up the time given to me because their boss was already asking them to pay up . They were after my life and l don’t know how to tell my parents. So in class, my bestie asked what was bothering me but l wasn’t able to share rather l gave him my phone and l left immediately. As I was trying to hide, l didn’t  know that Mr kinglsey and his friend saw me and they immediately covered my mouth and took me to their boss.Unfortunately the boss told the guy to shut me immediately he turned and l discovered that he is my father but it was already late for him to stop them from shutting.Few days later, l was charged and my parents took me home . My mom started crying for not being there for me and she apologized.l was just looking at my father immediately two police men walked in and arrested my father for attended murder , he started begging me and my mom was surprised that his husband is a drug dealer and he was the one that asked them to shut me . I hated my parents especially my dad. I wasn’t even talking to my mom at home , she kept on begging then l forgive her and my daddy and we moved to see my dad in prison.
