Brittney. “I decided to cut school one day. I
was in Oakland, on Havenscourt and
Foothill, and all I heard was, ‘Man, go get that
girl!’ And one of them came out and dragged
me by my hair, and he pulled me into the car.”

18.  “I’d wake up at 5; I’d be outside by 5:30,” says
Brittney, 19. “I would just wait and see what
happened, whether it’d be in the streets or
whether I’d be on the Internet. And then I won’t
be able to come back inside until like 2 o’clock in
the morning, so I’d get only, like, three hours of
rest.”
 “It’s not the best deal to have sex with 15
different guys in one day and only get a
cheeseburger at the end of it.”
