"Making stupid decisions for no reason." No, darling. You had no guidance and you didn't have the right kind of love and support. I'm so sorry everyone let you down.
Sooo, she's LYING on herself?... SHE said SHE wouldn't LISTEN...Her MOTHER needed HER help with COLLEGE studies-- when she was NINE (9)???... Yeah... Ok... Something in this particular milk is NOT clean... 💯💯
Miranda was abandoned by her father and raped twice as a tottler. She then grew up being “parentathised” by her own mother. Having to fill out medical form and college paperwork for her own mother as early as age 9? I would like to know what was wrong with the mother? Sounds like some serious neglect was going on here. I bet the mother was a meth addict or junkie also. This poor girl had her childhood stolen from her. She says in the interview that she has depression and anxiety for no reason. Well, she has a bunch of reasons!
100% this is the answer...parent(s) likely were addicts and unstable, they died young..she basically was orphaned after already going thru some terrible shit as a BABY
This is crushing. She’s so broken, and her body language speaks volumes on how defeated she feels. She’s been through far too much at only 20. She has the sweetest soul, and you can tell she’s holding onto a tiny glimmer of hope. I hope she finds another way. She has so much potential, and is so aware and intelligent. Honestly so heartbreaking. I wish I could give her a hug.
Please try and get her help. She may be able to be saved.. I love what you do. My daughter is named maranda and she lives from motel to motel. The pain is so real as a mom.. I watch and cry.. I see why you do this it's very fascinating and painful at the same time....
@@ronaldleskojr5579 she addressed that. How do you get a job without an ID? how do you get an ID without a birth certificate or any kind of identification, family, an address? not to mention an addiction that makes you violently ill if you dont use every few hours, most likely
@ronaldleskojr5579 I see it as you do and ppl hate us for this honest assessment. The children in our family had mega love and great opportunity. They are of a different generation and for them to have a bad day....is destructive. I don't understand the mentality. You get up....go to work...stay in the game...and chances are things will get better. They are not built to last. So much repeated trauma for those of us that choose a better path. My husband and I chose to eventually sever ties because we were being drug through the consequences of their REPEATED bad choices. We visit the cemetery now....knowing we couldn't save her. Would we choose to estrange ourselves...knowing the outcome...if we had it to do all over again? Yes. Yes we would.
Hey. Soft White Underbelly. I'm Richard from Ghana, West Africa. I've been a fan of your channel for years. Not only did you inspire me to start a non-profit in Ghana, you also inspired me to make videos with Africans that address unspoken issues in Africa like you do. In a nation where marginalised persons and issues are antagonised and ignored, it's truly inspiring to me and the VOIICE Community to do what you do. Thank you!
That would be interesting..... if you do start doing that, please post in here again so people can follow you. I'm not African, I live in Canada, but I follow a few channels that discuss African issues because I find it interesting and its good to see how people live all over the world, good or bad, it makes you more human
Miranda, you were helping your mom with her college work when you were 9. It is NOT too late for you. You're still so much younger than you realize. You've kicked the drugs before, and you can do it again. I know the grief of your loss is unimaginable. But you're so much stronger and smarter and better than you believe you are. Almost a million people on TH-cam believe you can do it.
It's so sad to clearly see the potential and goodness in someone, but if you've been conditioned your entire life not to see what everyone else does, it's so much harder to succeed.
I’ve seen a lot of Mark’s videos. For whatever reason, Miranda touched me in a way I can’t describe. I see a very intelligent, well-spoken, and strong but broken girl who is missing love and family. It pains me to think she feels trapped at 20 years old when she has her whole life ahead of her if just one good person sees her and recognizes what most of us did. She doesn’t think she’s worthy of another way of life or to be loved but she is and I desperately want and hope she finds it.
no she's still a baby, just in a adult body, she had no choice but to grow up, she never had a chance to even be a normal child, or even teen. She went from a baby to a adult in the blink of an eye! And is still growing
@Otto Fetting sams type to get mugged or have a home invasion planned Mark is smart. He interviews and shows guidance, he doesn't invite them to his home (which some people claimed they would do!!!)
@Otto Fetting I’ll say this. 9/10 when you try to pour into addicts you’re pouring into a bottomless pit. But there’s always the slim chance that you’re the person who has the potential to show them “the light”. It’s COMPLETELY up to them (or maybe even “luck”) whether or not they decide to walk into the “light”. But there are ways to offer this at no expense to self (unless you’re not (securely) in a “great space” yourself.
@Otto Fetting apparently you dont know addicts like you think u do... I was into the pill scene n cocaine scene for 7 years... I stopped one day cold turkey... April 27 2006 and I supported my own habbit... Had a 6 figure year job... A son a daughter and wife at home while I traveled and brought home the money... You have a choice in the end you or the drugs... Today I own a house, have my third child my oldest 2 are adults in college and divorsed because she wanted that D*ck... I own my own company, own Harleys... So to tell me addicts are basically worthless you dont know that...
I'm a retired therapist. Sometimes I think I should drive out there and bring one of these folks back home with me and give them the unconditional support that they obviously need, get them on their feet and let them know they have someone that they can turn too.
She is the one who really deserve helps. I am not therapist but I helped already someone. Who came from very far. She been alone without help so I just let her in my life and I put her on own feet with a new chance from the life.
That would be a dangerous thing for you to do. If you decide to do that be careful. Mark has offered these people real help and he said only 2 people took it. He's been robbed at gunpoint. So be careful. God Bless.
Is there an update on Miranda ? I hope she found help with her addiction! she’s such a beautiful soul and can help so many people with her story and wisdom !
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.sporesss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Totally agree with you. Seeing someone you can relate to in school telling you to listen to your parents and not so drugs would absolutely have helped a lot of people I know. Instead it was old teachers who had never touched the stuff before. No one wants to be thought how to swim by someone who’s never been in the water before!!!
She needs counseling for her childhood trauma. I hate the way the world has treated this young soul. She deserves so much more. She is still so young & has a chance to get out of this lifestyle.
But first of all her parents... it's the job of the parents to raise the child with love, food, shelter, guidance, support, etc Apart from that you are right. A few good people who really care could turn the life of this girl around, provided she herself wants to change.
@@jfv65 Parents cant do much if they have their own untreated traumas... like in this case. Her mother had serious issues, and parentified her in a young age. She took care of the mother, and then went to jail for someone else...
Man, I've watched so many SWU videos and this one just felt different. If you see this Miranda, I really hope you keep chasing that hope inside of you for a better life, and don't give up. Your message and the lessons you've passed on through your story are profound.
My god, she sounds so intelligent and speaks so eloquently. She doesn’t deserve the hand she was dealt. I hope someone gets her the help she needs because she sounds like she wants it.
You cant help someone like this unfortunately. How could she forget all the deaths and trauma in her life? I cant see how she could ever be happy or not depressed.
@@FruitCakeReaper I am consistently floored by the resilience of the human spirit… people can recover. I hope she’s offered a way out of this pain, but we cannot write people off as “too far” gone. 💜
@@dautajahearthchild2726 There is such thing as book smart and street smart, and this young lady who graduated with a 4.0 happens to be both. You, on the other hand, sound judgmental. Sending love your way, have a great day!
It broke my heart when she recounted the memory of her mom taking her window shopping. It goes to show that all children need is love and those bonding moments with their parents. Even though they didn’t have money to spend, it was still a good day she had with her mom that she will always remember. So sad 💔
Right? Window shopping is what this poor girl has to fall back on. Kids need love and quality time. Man This girl breaks my heart. I can't imagine being as young as this girl is and being completely alone
The part that broke my heart was when she was telling her first 'puppy' love: "You remember that green pillow"? I don't know why, but that got me misty eyed, knowing that she was referring back to a simpler and more innocent time in her life when different choices could have meant a completely different life outcome for her. My heart breaks for this lady. If I was a billionaire, I think I would use all of my money trying to really help each of these people get clean and get their lives together. I know it's mostly a dream, especially when you hear so many of them keep talking about how many times they got clean, but then some little thing triggered them and they went right back too it. Once the body has been exposed to these harder drugs (and alcohol and nicotine), it seems like it always has that desire and always feels that pull. So that any difficult life situation that comes up essentially becomes their next "excuse" to go back to that lifestyle. Next to plagues and wars, drugs are the worst things ever to befall humanity. Even with all the warnings and information about the dangers, people still choose to begin taking drugs. Even if you don't come from a broken family or an abusive or neglected childhood, peer pressure can also get young people started on the downward spiral. It may start innocently by smoking weed, then taking a hit of psychedelics during a techno concert, then on and one until each hit gets stepped up more and more, like riding more and more thrilling roller coasters. Until one day they meet someone how is looking for another lifelong income stream, and coaxes them into taking a hit of heroine, crack, fentanyl, or similar, and that's the beginning of the end. Sorry to ramble. I just really feel for these people. And we should all thank Mark for being someone who will listen and document their stories. Which for many, will probably be their only lasting legacy.
Oh Miranda. The people judging this poor girl wouldn't last a minute in her shoes. I want to adopt her and take her to Disneyland. She's very articulate and so open with her trauma. She takes full responsibility for her actions. Those beyond her control are devastating & so hard to comprehend. Her will to live is a testament to her tremendous inner strength. I truly hope she finds her way. If anyone deserves a wonderful life it's Miranda ❤
yeah disneyland is not the answer to this girls questions-- going to a farm for a few months is the only thing I can think of... and that sounds like a bunch of BS too
“I ain’t got no will to die, but I ain’t got nothing to do” ... this young lady would need long term inpatient care. She needs shelter, love, counseling, therapy and treatment ❤️ Prayers for this young lady. God bless you
Seriously, everyone needs to have a cheerleader in their corner, particularly in early childhood. please believe me when I tell you that not having at least one person in your corner to validate your perceptions and guide you to a better understanding, is the only help for a young child to overcome all of the madness and confusion.
One of my favorites. She is so compassionate. She deserved nothing of what she has went through. I wish for nothing but greatness in her life from this day forward.
@@chrisa2612 I don’t think so. It’s very clear when sum1 tries to manipulate and happens on the channel all the time but this isn’t one of those times. She is genuine. Showing genuine emotions when telling her story. She isn’t uncontrollably sobbing. You should feel sorry after hearing her story that doesn’t make her manipulative at all. People will always find a way to pick at something though.
@@jeffsegar3270 traumatic events are engraved into you’re memory. Obviously not if you’re a new born but at around 4 everyone has a couple memories. If you were raped you’d remember it for sure. Also yes it’s possible to have memories at 6 lol. You must have horrible memory or be pretty old.
@@quattrobajeena135 You maybe right, everything may not be true, but it is possible to remember things at the age of four. I remember a lot of things that happened in my life around that age.
Bruh. I believe it. Shit like this is why I can NEVER give up on raising my son the right way. That shit is hard. It gets harder as they grow but you got to. Children can't do this shit themselves. We are literally all little kids inside but we have to suppress that shit and be adults for our kids. That shit is painful man. To put such a responsibility on a kid, heartbreaking. I can not and will not give up. I most preserver, my son needs that. Don't give up on yalls kids it don't matter if they slow it don't matter if they bad just be their love. Love and respect them. Be there for them and they will be there for you. In this life, you get what you put in. P.s. this ain't for yall. It's for me. I had to remind myself why I'm doing this. I've got to keep going 💯
Jesus this girl is so bright, well spoken and articulate in her story telling. So so sad she has had no support or a chance for a decent life, never mind love, care and support. What a tragedy.
Every time you see a homeless person try to hand them a water bottle, a smile, a dollar. The judgement is not needed, it’s easy to judge. But to show love is what most of us should be giving out. She needed to talk ♥️ I just booked a therapy session for myself. If we all just had someone to listen we’d have a better way of coping.
Yeah..wait till she’s broke and dope sick and you’ve gotta pass her in a quiet street or dark alley. Do you think she wants your bottle of water with a side dish of smile & love bombing? Nah, she’ll bash u & Rob u. Didn’t u hear her say she robs people all the time, on a daily basis. What are u, Mary freakin Poppins?
I can't thank you (and all those whom you interview) enough for sharing publicly. Thanks for reaching out to all walks of life to gain these insights. It's tragically beautiful. I'm encouraged to visit and meet every single one. Thanks for doing what you do; I believe it's a tremendous help to humanity. There's so much wisdom/knowledge yet to be found, and your doings are so eye-opening, on so many levels. Please, continue.
Praying for this woman. You are loved. Heavy as her pain is she’s still here. Praying God sends his strongest angels to lift her up & guide her towards a better life.
Mark, please keep us updated of this young, intelligent soul. She deserves all the love, help and support. I have followed Amanda's story too (RIP BABY GIRL) and I know Miranda's situation is different than hers (no parent(s) that will go above and beyond for their kid, but that is just why you need help Miranda! I'm very thankful for you channel, which I've been following for awhile, you raise awareness and teach us that we have look past "the looks" of the homeless/addicts/sexworkers in the USA. I am from The Netherlands where the system (I can fairly say) is nothing like in the States. You make people from other countries realize that we shouldn't complain about our system AT ALL. Please, do a follow-up of Miranda. I pray for you 🙏🏾
man, usually i can make it through these videos ok, but six minutes in and I'm sobbing on my porch. I really hope this young woman is able to find some joy and piece her life. Christ if people could just be better to each other...
ive been binging these videos for a few days now since ive discovered the channel, and i cant help but feel even more saddened by the fact that the people interviewed wont always be able to see all of the love and support and understanding for them that they have brought out in people in the comment section. Im not implying that would be a saving grace, but miranda especially struck a chord in me and i just hope she can see that the whole world isnt against her despite the tragedies shes endured her entire life.
I'm ten minutes in and I have to say that this is the toughest one I've seen , talk about a defeated young lady , wow , if I could change her past I would gladly do it , my feelings are hurt for her, good luck kiddo !
Man I can feel the depression and hopelessness in this woman’s being. What a tragic life. I hope she finds support and warmth to start a new way in life’s
12 years old I was playing with dolls and didn’t even have my period. Someone failed this young girl…horribly failed her I hope and pray she finds her way for there is a peacefully calm and loving road if she takes the right turn
Her parents were useless even though she speaks with love about them. Children from loving and caring families do not take the path she did at age 11. When a family friend SA you are 4 your parents were not taking care of you. Where were the rest of the family, why didn't they intervene, her grandparents included? She was thrown to the wolves and had to learn how to survive. Why must a 6 year old help her mom take her medicine? That alone is wrong, at 6 she was suppose to believe in fairy tales, play and dream of unicorns.
@@coobay4786 omg that's really a harsh ignorant statement, passing judgment on a young girl who does what she has to survive. Don't you fkn dare blame her for the horrid events that traumatized her for life. She's got no one to loan her any support or love. I'dike to see you being given the same fate and dire circumstances and see how you would make out. When your life is in shambles and your future has no promise and your past is a nightmare that won't leave you alone; your stuck in a grim present lost nowhere to go. Your self-worth is absent. Tell me how you'd so successfully overcome all that without help and guidance from people who know the right things to do. Just stf up and leave her alone. She's had enough shamming and people lashing out with insults and negative hurtful comments.
@@coobay4786 You are so naive. You expect a kid to take smart decisions that too after what she has gone through? I can understand your comment if she had been a fully developed adult who grew up normally. Your naivete is evidence you yourself would have been completely destroyed if you had gone thru what this kid did as a child
Damn she's so articulate and intelligent. I feel like she'd make a great drug counselor one day. I hope she finds her way in this world. You're worth it Miranda don't give up!
She'd be a great peer support worker. First she needs to focus on her healing if someone could mentor her a get her off the street and into education to help others. Mental health , counselling, ATODS support worker. There are not enough lived experience support workers in this world. N lovely I think you are dealing with CPTSD maybe borderline. Hang in huny put all your negative to be a positive for you and people whom have experienced the same.
It’s so sad that at twenty years old you feel like all hope is gone. I feel like this could easily be me if it wasn’t for suboxone but shit I’m still fighting every day.
I want to thank this channel for the rawness. You don’t hear this kind of honesty and experience anywhere else. & praying for Miranda’s safety through life
Such an intelligent, mature girl with a beautiful soul! She just needs support and good people around who'll hekp her believe in better future. Mark ,you're her first step to changing her life for better, that I know! So genuine she is! Miranda, if you're reading this, you're amazing!
Fuck this is the most heartbreaking story of all the ones I've heard. She is so articulate and so freaking young and insightful. She needs help. She never had a damn chance :(
My heart breaks for this young girl !! If I can be of any help to her PLEASE contact me. I’m in Ohio, I raised 4 good kids. All grown. I’d be willing to help her get on her feet. Poor girl .
All of these people, the addicts, the homeless, the ones who are so badly stereotyped in life by so many people- are honestly some of the best people I've ever met (through you of course).....and it really makes you think about life, about society, about so many things. I love this girl, and I love them all. And my heart and my prayers go out to each of them. God has plans for all of us. And I think each of them honestly has a very special destiny.
I love the fact that she’s self aware and humble. She will win her battle over addiction. I hope she finds the strength to love herself enough not to touch hard drugs/opiates
Listen to you mama, "You COULD be a lawyer" and for all you are going through, you have a big heart. I went to college in my thirties, got sober and got a degree. God love you.
If I could bring her to Arizona to Scottsdale and put her on the mountain I live on and just get her clean. A different Arizona than she’s ever known. Enroll her in the schools and set her on a life path with the best help. I’d definitely have someone shadow her every move until she was absolutely clean. Robert Downey Jr had a man shadow him for 2 years I believe. I have faith in her💖
I literally just said the same exact thing to my friend that's sitting here with me right now....I just want to hug this beautiful girl! I hope she is able to read these comments so we can tell her that she DESERVES LOVE AND THAT SHE IS VALID AND STRONG AND BEAUTIFUL..
@@kimberlyanne434 she has got to want that very same thing and willing to work for it. I have been in a similar situation where I gave the person everything that was amazing…they relapsed within months. Once she desires to get clean 100% & fight the urges to get high then yes…that’s a win! But you can’t just remove her to another place…..she will just find another way to get high
This poor child. I understand the pain of addiction and the depths it takes you to. I sure hope someone offers this girl some help and a chance at recovery. She can still turn her life around. My prayers go out to her and I hope her dead loved ones are with her to guide her onto the right path.
She reminds me of my Soldier’s after we returned from combat. I looked at them afterwards and they were still so young but their soul’s had traveled to hell and back. That in turn gave them an essence of having aged internally and hardened in character but not by choice, but by the horrific circumstances we suffered through. I pray she gets some Mental Health help and that she finds a way out. God bless her.
True. I made an identical post. I've talked to a lot of veterans that wanted nothing more than to be back in combat because that was the only time they felt alive.
I’m 19 and it’s so surreal to hear someone so close to my age talk about all the years of severe trauma they’ve had to endure. No one deserves that kind of pain. I hope she finds a way out of her situation and is given an opportunity to live the life she deserves - full of love and encouragement and support and understanding.
I really feel for this girl, I was a heroin addict for almost 15 years and lives a really rough life for a long time. I thankfully was able to find a way off the streets and have been sober for 4 years now. It’s a long hard road and I think this girl can do it but she needs someone to help her get there
I hope you see this and I see your reply. I wonder what it takes to finally be sober and be willing to go through that detox and handling everything in a different way. I started on little stuff like pills and I’ve been doing fentanyl and heroin for almost a year and I hope I can quit soon.
@@skelliex2572 - I’ll be honest with you it’s not easy but if you really want it and are ready to put the work in you can do it. I had gotten sober many, many times and always relapsed but the last time I just knew I couldn’t live that life anymore. It had taken too much from me and I was just sick and tired of being sick and tired. I had overdosed so many times at that point I knew one of these times I wasn’t going saved with Narcan. I walked into the methadone clinic, did my intake and I stayed on it for about 3 years while I got a job and worked my ass off to save up to get my own place, get a car, was able to buy things like clothes and go out to eat, things I hadn’t done in years because all my money went to drugs. I did counseling and therapy to work on my mental health which was monumental in my recovery. Figuring out why I even started using, dealing with my trauma and other mental health issues and learning what my triggers were and building healthy coping skills was imperative to being successful in recovery. You have to put in the work. Once I felt like I was ready I started tapering my dose super slowly, 2mg a week then even slower to 1mg every week then as I got really low I did 1mg every other week until I got to the lowest they could give me which was 1 mg. I was hoping the withdrawal wouldn’t be that bad but it still was. I couldn’t sleep, I could barely eat, I was so restless, I had chills, etc. The worst of was the first week and it did lessen but it still lasted a few months. Took me a long time to be able to sleep completely through the night. A lot of emotional ups and downs as well, really feeling emotions was so new to me as they had been dulled by drugs for so long. I did smoke weed to help with sleeping and other withdrawal symptoms but if I did it all again I would absolutely get some comfort meds to help with the symptoms. So in the end it was the hardest thing I have ever done but it was so, so worth it, I have so much to live for now when I for so long I had nothing. I hope you get get sober, being only a year in will make it so much easier for you, don’t waste 15 years like I did. I’ll never get those years back and I missed out on so much of my life, I try not to have regrets but that’s something I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to forgive myself for and be at peace with. Good luck and stay safe
@@skelliex2572 - Please reach out & get help. I have 3 years clean now & life has never been better. You only need to get through one day at a time, sometimes only one minute at a time. You are worth it & I promise you that with sobriety, comes a lot of blessings. If you want a better & sober life- you can get it. Please get help. Sending you love & light💕
This girl speaks like she's reading passages from her own auto biography. So much pain but so much beauty mixed in. Life is long. You will see better days. 😌
Wise beyond her years. Her empathy toward other people, even in her situation is incredible. I felt every word she said, she's the real deal, honest and raw. I pray and will continue to pray that someone gives this girl a hand up. She has so much life ahead and has been through it all already, she's worth it.
She can get student grants, loans, and housing and start all over if she could just get the help that she needs. This precious child..it’s heartbreaking. Thank you so much Mark, for giving them voices and letting the rest of the world be reminded of who has been forgotten. We all have to help as much as we can.
this channel gets under your skin... i love your non-judgemental interview style, your commitment to new content, and helping us see the humanity in all these struggling people. your body of work uploaded to youtube is truly amazing and so helpful to society beyond measure. keep going....
@Chris M agree 100% that’s why I never say never. Your life can change from one day to another. Most of this interviews I have noticed stem from childhood. Parents are suppose to protect,love and care for the child. Some of them don’t even make that decision. Because their own parents introduce them to drugs.
100% ageee- this is how journalists should do documentary’s. People learn and become compassionate for our society and help each other up. Even just to learn of what’s out there and how to be grateful for your life and what you have . This guy should get a award for sure .
He always seems to have the same tone though as if hes distancing himself. I wish his voice had a little more feeling to it. I'm not dissing him I just feel like he could have more empathy....
I have nothing but compassion for this young lady. I hope she realizes how truly strong she is. I can’t even begin to imagine all that she has gone through, she is a true survivor and deserves a chance for a better life.
Morgan I'm sure that Mark offers everyone that seems willing opportunities. But the big question is DO THEY WANT THAT CHANCE !? I mean Amanda didn't even want it at first, it was an up hill battle. Glad bless her .
Mark, I appreciate every one of the videos I’ve seen on this channel. Puts things into a perspective not a lot of people have seen and it’s so educational. Is there any sort of update on this poor girl? If so you should post I’m very interested as to where she went after this
I seen most of your videos, this one touch me more than most. That poor beautiful lady is having such a sad, and bad life. Definitely praying for her to get clean, and get back on her feet.
You could still be a lawyer Miranda. You are so clever!!! I'm not blowing smoke! You've had all these awful experiences and you're still alive. You have my eternal respect lady! I hope you can find a way to get a leg up and onto a path outa shitsville. With your wisdom, loving attitude and massive life experience, you have so much to give and so much to gain. You're in my thoughts.
@Lady Kamia That's a lot but with a sponsor possible. Maybe studying abroad, in any field. My point is that Miranda has massive abilities in critical thinking. I believe she could accomplish anything with help from friends and yes, definitely a lot of cash. Saying that, without tons of cash Miranda can reach any happy place she chose to focus on. I'm blown away that this human being is so articulate in the face of many many potentially fatal blows. There must be more for her, she deserves contentment.
Her story really got to me. She's such a strong, brave, beautiful, intelligent woman and she didn't deserve any of the sh*t she's gone through. I really, really, from the bottom of my heart, hope she's getting better. I hope she gets to be a fantastic mum to beautiful children, have a safe home, and just the GOOD life such an amazing young woman deserves!
Mark..... your chanel keeps me sober...I'm greatful I'm out of skidrow...taking it one minute at a time..your chanel keeps me focus...and to the young lady you need a higher power to keep you going faith with no action is dead....may God bless you all..
This young woman needs a therapeutic center, out in nature with professionals. Build community away from the streets. She's so young, she could help so many young people during her journey.
its like, can we crowd fund a farm?? have dispersed housing for small teams of these kids, teams that form over 6 qualifying workshops/meetings on the street, where 3-4 of these girls meet and join up and motivate each other and hold each other accountable and 1/2 mile away there's 4-5 of guys who teamed up in a similar way. rehab/therapy yes, but MOSTLY just to have ONE chance to be in a peaceful spot and learn some real, good, simple, life stuff no doubt, it would be a massive challenge straight rehab seems pointless for her, wilderness challenge, pretentious. she doesn't have much to look back on or go back to. she needs to find a base for slowly
Yes! With horses and animals that show her unconditional love. In a proper program like that I feel she would really thrive. My heart hurts for her! I want to just hug her for the longest time.
I'm praying for this girl🙏 She's so real and raw, heartbreaking story. She's so young, yet lived a whole life... I'm praying she receives help..she can have an awesome future and help so many others. God bless her.
my heart is completely broken for this girl. she's only 20 and has experienced so much hardship. sending love and light to her- praying she gets out of this. May God keep her safe always
i wish people would stop taking their lives for granted. so many kids too comfortable, almost finding things to complain about, when there’s people living like this.
it puts shit into perspective for me. I complain about having to go to work but at least I have a a job to make money and a house to not wanna be away from 🤣🤣
That’s race to the bottom thinking. A lot of the working and middle class have emotional issues from incorrect parenting and many have childhood trauma from bullying, etc. The better off you are, the more intimately you can see your remaining issues. Everyone has a right to complain. Just my take
“Being me ain’t nothing to be” that broke me when she said that. This girl is so smart and has a huge heart! Life is just unfair. She suffered far beyond her years. My daughter just turned 12 yesterday, seeing how innocent kids are at that age just explains how hard this girl had it by the time she was 12 to put a needle in her arm. This is one of the saddest videos I’ve watched on this channel, I honestly feel if someone stepped up and offered help this girl would take it and not look back. I wish I had the ability to do that. 💕
She's still a child but has the pain of a many years of tragic circumstances. She talks like she's so sad and tired and already lived a life worth of pain. I'm 43 and I remember being a 20 addict. I was just a baby too looking back. Keep fighting the good fight sweetheart. You life is worth saving and you can get better. Your smart and capable. Give it your all. I got sober but it took me a very long time. You are so young that you can change the course of your life still and not look back like me at 40 and see I squandered 25+ years in several additions. But I finally got clean. Your a fighter. I believe in you. I'm sorry for your loss of your children and fiancee. I am a widow with two girls. I am rooting for you ❤️✌️
She speaks so well and with much intelligence. And she spoke to getting sober previously, which is wonderful. I hope she is able to get the help she needs for her addictions and the multiple traumas she has endured throughout her young life. Very sad. God bless you Miranda ❤
Miranda the first 47 years of my life was an unhappy tragic filled drama - paternal rape , teenage pregnancy , poverty , spousal abuse , adultery , two divorces , seldom a day I had joy but today at 51 it's 100% joy . Jesus has filled the second half of my life with dreams realized , the best is yet to come , PLEASE don't give up now !
My niece Rachelle passed away 3 months ago of a fentanyl overdose. She was 25 years old and left a one year old Son behind. This horrific event has absolutely devastated our whole family. Rachelle's story is just one of hundreds of thousands of stories across the United States as evidenced by Miranda and all of the people that you interview. This is the REAL pandemic, lost souls with no support, children fending for themselves and having babies that they cannot care for because of coming from totally dysfunctional families that can be generational. We all need to open our eyes and SEE and have empathy and love for all of these people that are so deeply hurt. That is the whole problem in this world, too much narcissism, not enough love and empathy for our fellow human beings.
I have two very small boys, and I intend to show them this video one day. I want them to have perspective and understanding of how difficult life can be. When you make the wrong choices, they can destroy your life. I learned from experience, and I don't want them to have to live through many of the things I did, or she did. This video is a really good example for them. I appreciate the interview, and her open honesty. It will help some kids, I'm sure of it.
Damn, she just said that she shot up meth at the age of 12. That really hit me hard. 12 years old & shot up merh, that is really crazy. & her baby daddy was shooting up heroin & he beat her up. She is only 20 years of age & she really doesn’t look good at all. This young lady better get out of this lifestyle because if she doesn’t, she is not going to last that long. Man, this is a sin & this young lady really hit my heart.
Yes it's a heart-wrenching world I'm in agreement as well 🙏PRAYERsFOR THIS DEAR To GET CLEAN and AWAY FROM ALL NEGATIVES☆MIRANDA👋⚘YOU CAN DO IT!!! *EVERYTIME YOU *CHOOSE NOT TO USE YOU *CHOOSE LIFE&A BETTER DAY TO COME DEAR GRAB LIFE&KEEP-CLIMBING👍💖🙏🎼
I used to be one of those really judgemental people that looked down on people in these situations. I’ve realized after hearing these stories of childhood trauma that I’ve just been really really lucky… I’m so sorry 😢 you had to go through all of this. It’s not your fault. You’re so intelligent and beautiful and I see so much potential in you.
I don’t cry often but I cried today watching this poor victim of circumstance. Miranda, I wish you the best. You deserve a better life and you have so many years ahead of you. I wish you could feel the love from all the comments on here. You are a beautiful soul.
Miranda! Pls don't give up... A beautiful soul like you needs to be in this world! I cannot get over how emotionally beautiful and intelligent you are ❣️
This poor woman is obviously so much better than the world she comes from. I wish her nothing but the best, and should the opportunity present itself, I will be more than happy to actively help myself. She deserves it.
Yes but at this stage it's not clear she has the motivation to move on. What happened is not mostly her fault but intervention and change cannot be imposed because that simply doesn't work. She admits she has done rehab already. All of these interventions are only assistance to a person motivated to change. Without the intrinsic bit the extrinsic part will fall on stony ground. Unfortunately.
As a mother, I feel for this young woman. She was born and raised in an environment that she stood little chance of thriving and succeeding in, a victim of circumstance. She is without a doubt, the oldest and most weary 20 year old I've ever seen. Her eyes are lifeless. I hope and pray she can break free of the demons that have hold of her. She deserves a chance at a good life! 😥
Breaks my heart, especially when I think about how different she is from the friends I had way back in my 20s, she should be having fun and living a great life. Wish kids like this got way more protection, things like this bring out my dad genes, just wanna make sure she's safe and away from all the bs she's had to experience so far in life. She deserves better.
There has to be a purpose for her survival. I am sure there is. I just hope she finds it someday. It is very hard, very painful to even listen to something like this let alone to go through it. While I was sad for a stupid guy not replying to me at 19 she was fighting for Life from addiction, with kids, being an orphan, without any shelter or food. This is an eye opener to me. So proud of you Miranda. For everything you are, for everything you have been been regardless of the choices you made. You'll get through this, the way you already have. Prayers.
This girl has suffered so much tragedy. Please Mark, find someone to help her. She is right there on the edge of help. Just like Amanda. She is young and change can happen! I wish her the best of luck. I wish she could get her legal documents and that someone would hold on to them for her. ❤️
@Lady Kamia she does, she also needs her identification and birth certificate so that if she wanted help in getting clean she could show who she is and then she would have the documents needed to get a job.
Jesus, please. My jaw was constantly dropped and eyes cryin listenin to this poor girl so matter of factly describe her life. I've been a drug addict for 17 years, nearly the length of her life and yet I feel as though she's had it tougher. I'm prayin for you Miranda.
Any updated interview with her? I hope she's okay and doing better. She deserves a whole lot more of this life. Regardless of what she's been through... she's so well articulated and I wept along with her :( God bless her!
That interview was so raw and honest. This girl is so beautiful and intelligent . She could do so much good in this world if she was just given the opportunity. I hope someone can find her and give her a chance. She deserves that. She doesn’t deserve what she is getting. Her soul is good!
"Making stupid decisions for no reason." No, darling. You had no guidance and you didn't have the right kind of love and support. I'm so sorry everyone let you down.
Sooo, she's LYING on herself?... SHE said SHE wouldn't LISTEN...Her MOTHER needed HER help with COLLEGE studies-- when she was NINE (9)???... Yeah... Ok... Something in this particular milk is NOT clean... 💯💯
@@poetry.in.motion... she loves a fantasy, i thought exactly the same thing.
Miranda was abandoned by her father and raped twice as a tottler. She then grew up being “parentathised” by her own mother. Having to fill out medical form and college paperwork for her own mother as early as age 9? I would like to know what was wrong with the mother? Sounds like some serious neglect was going on here. I bet the mother was a meth addict or junkie also. This poor girl had her childhood stolen from her. She says in the interview that she has depression and anxiety for no reason. Well, she has a bunch of reasons!
100% this is the answer...parent(s) likely were addicts and unstable, they died young..she basically was orphaned after already going thru some terrible shit as a BABY
@Lady Kamia you literally could not sound and dumber
We're all one choice, or one parents choice away from sitting on that stool.

This is crushing. She’s so broken, and her body language speaks volumes on how defeated she feels. She’s been through far too much at only 20. She has the sweetest soul, and you can tell she’s holding onto a tiny glimmer of hope. I hope she finds another way. She has so much potential, and is so aware and intelligent. Honestly so heartbreaking. I wish I could give her a hug.
Yup. Collapse body posture is what it’s called in trauma therapy.

“I ain’t got no will to die, I just have nothing else to do”
That struck a chord💔
Yeah, how about get a job? Maybe she’s never thought that though.
If only it was that simple, but no it's truly not.
@@ronaldleskojr5579 how about not being dumb af
@@ronaldleskojr5579 she addressed that. How do you get a job without an ID? how do you get an ID without a birth certificate or any kind of identification, family, an address? not to mention an addiction that makes you violently ill if you dont use every few hours, most likely
@ronaldleskojr5579 I see it as you do and ppl hate us for this honest assessment. The children in our family had mega love and great opportunity. They are of a different generation and for them to have a bad day....is destructive. I don't understand the mentality. You get up....go to work...stay in the game...and chances are things will get better. They are not built to last. So much repeated trauma for those of us that choose a better path. My husband and I chose to eventually sever ties because we were being drug through the consequences of their REPEATED bad choices. We visit the cemetery now....knowing we couldn't save her. Would we choose to estrange ourselves...knowing the outcome...if we had it to do all over again? Yes. Yes we would.
She seems so young and yet so old at the same time. I hope she finds a way to a better life.
She has lived 5 lifetimes in only 20 years. Horrible lifetimes.
Thats fucked up
Yes looks 14 and 41 at the same time. So sad.

Hey. Soft White Underbelly. I'm Richard from Ghana, West Africa. I've been a fan of your channel for years. Not only did you inspire me to start a non-profit in Ghana, you also inspired me to make videos with Africans that address unspoken issues in Africa like you do. In a nation where marginalised persons and issues are antagonised and ignored, it's truly inspiring to me and the VOIICE Community to do what you do. Thank you!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Dude right on, blessings and power to you!
Keep up the good fight!
Richard that is wonderful🙌🏿
That would be interesting..... if you do start doing that, please post in here again so people can follow you. I'm not African, I live in Canada, but I follow a few channels that discuss African issues because I find it interesting and its good to see how people live all over the world, good or bad, it makes you more human
Miranda, you were helping your mom with her college work when you were 9. It is NOT too late for you. You're still so much younger than you realize. You've kicked the drugs before, and you can do it again. I know the grief of your loss is unimaginable. But you're so much stronger and smarter and better than you believe you are. Almost a million people on TH-cam believe you can do it.
She has a soul man I don’t understand why there’s so much evil 😢 I wish I could pick these babies up and give them a chance
It's so sad to clearly see the potential and goodness in someone, but if you've been conditioned your entire life not to see what everyone else does, it's so much harder to succeed.
I’ve seen a lot of Mark’s videos. For whatever reason, Miranda touched me in a way I can’t describe. I see a very intelligent, well-spoken, and strong but broken girl who is missing love and family. It pains me to think she feels trapped at 20 years old when she has her whole life ahead of her if just one good person sees her and recognizes what most of us did. She doesn’t think she’s worthy of another way of life or to be loved but she is and I desperately want and hope she finds it.
That´s because she doesn´t belong where she is, and still she´s doing all this crazy stuff.
This one really shook me. She seems like such a cool person.
She touched so many men
There is nothing worse than seeing babies on this channel. She is only 20. That's a damn baby 💔
no she's still a baby, just in a adult body, she had no choice but to grow up, she never had a chance to even be a normal child, or even teen. She went from a baby to a adult in the blink of an eye! And is still growing
@Otto Fetting sams type to get mugged or have a home invasion planned
Mark is smart. He interviews and shows guidance, he doesn't invite them to his home (which some people claimed they would do!!!)
@Otto Fetting its called being an enabler
@Otto Fetting I’ll say this. 9/10 when you try to pour into addicts you’re pouring into a bottomless pit. But there’s always the slim chance that you’re the person who has the potential to show them “the light”. It’s COMPLETELY up to them (or maybe even “luck”) whether or not they decide to walk into the “light”. But there are ways to offer this at no expense to self (unless you’re not (securely) in a “great space” yourself.
@Otto Fetting apparently you dont know addicts like you think u do... I was into the pill scene n cocaine scene for 7 years... I stopped one day cold turkey... April 27 2006 and I supported my own habbit... Had a 6 figure year job... A son a daughter and wife at home while I traveled and brought home the money... You have a choice in the end you or the drugs... Today I own a house, have my third child my oldest 2 are adults in college and divorsed because she wanted that D*ck... I own my own company, own Harleys... So to tell me addicts are basically worthless you dont know that...
I'm a retired therapist. Sometimes I think I should drive out there and bring one of these folks back home with me and give them the unconditional support that they obviously need, get them on their feet and let them know they have someone that they can turn too.
Go look for her!!! She needs you!!!
She is the one who really deserve helps.
I am not therapist but I helped already someone. Who came from very far. She been alone without help so I just let her in my life and I put her on own feet with a new chance from the life.
Wake up the next day with all your shit stolen 😒
Do it.
That would be a dangerous thing for you to do. If you decide to do that be careful. Mark has offered these people real help and he said only 2 people took it. He's been robbed at gunpoint. So be careful. God Bless.
Is there an update on Miranda ? I hope she found help with her addiction! she’s such a beautiful soul and can help so many people with her story and wisdom !
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.sporesss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place.
Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac.
He's constantly talking about killing someone.
He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Is he on instagram?
Yes he is. dr.sporesss
“Rebellious isn’t something you should be unless you’ve got the backup to be it.”
These videos should be shown in schools, man.
You are so absolutely right.
Totally agree with you. Seeing someone you can relate to in school telling you to listen to your parents and not so drugs would absolutely have helped a lot of people I know. Instead it was old teachers who had never touched the stuff before. No one wants to be thought how to swim by someone who’s never been in the water before!!!
I agree.
Yes yes yes, they should be shown in schools!!!
I agree! I make my kids watch parts of a lot these! Idk how he doesn't take them all home💜
She needs counseling for her childhood trauma. I hate the way the world has treated this young soul. She deserves so much more. She is still so young & has a chance to get out of this lifestyle.
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💯
Yes she still has a chance to get out,Thearpy and 1 or 2 people that she can get emotional support and guide her.
But first of all her parents... it's the job of the parents to raise the child with love, food, shelter, guidance, support, etc
Apart from that you are right. A few good people who really care could turn the life of this girl around, provided she herself wants to change.
@@jfv65 Parents cant do much if they have their own untreated traumas... like in this case. Her mother had serious issues, and parentified her in a young age. She took care of the mother, and then went to jail for someone else...
Pff, she needs a warm meal and a place to stay, ffs.
Man, I've watched so many SWU videos and this one just felt different. If you see this Miranda, I really hope you keep chasing that hope inside of you for a better life, and don't give up. Your message and the lessons you've passed on through your story are profound.
She is literally telling my life's story as well. You always feel like you're alone with your tragedies until you hear someone else's story.
Are you doing better now?
My god, she sounds so intelligent and speaks so eloquently. She doesn’t deserve the hand she was dealt. I hope someone gets her the help she needs because she sounds like she wants it.
She she does, so sad she’s afflicted with this Heroin addiction
You cant help someone like this unfortunately. How could she forget all the deaths and trauma in her life? I cant see how she could ever be happy or not depressed.
Sounds intelligent??? Ummmmmm… ok
@@FruitCakeReaper I am consistently floored by the resilience of the human spirit… people can recover. I hope she’s offered a way out of this pain, but we cannot write people off as “too far” gone. 💜
@@dautajahearthchild2726 There is such thing as book smart and street smart, and this young lady who graduated with a 4.0 happens to be both. You, on the other hand, sound judgmental. Sending love your way, have a great day!
It broke my heart when she recounted the memory of her mom taking her window shopping. It goes to show that all children need is love and those bonding moments with their parents. Even though they didn’t have money to spend, it was still a good day she had with her mom that she will always remember. So sad 💔
me too, happy/sad
Right? Window shopping is what this poor girl has to fall back on. Kids need love and quality time. Man
This girl breaks my heart. I can't imagine being as young as this girl is and being completely alone
The part that broke my heart was when she was telling her first 'puppy' love: "You remember that green pillow"? I don't know why, but that got me misty eyed, knowing that she was referring back to a simpler and more innocent time in her life when different choices could have meant a completely different life outcome for her. My heart breaks for this lady. If I was a billionaire, I think I would use all of my money trying to really help each of these people get clean and get their lives together. I know it's mostly a dream, especially when you hear so many of them keep talking about how many times they got clean, but then some little thing triggered them and they went right back too it. Once the body has been exposed to these harder drugs (and alcohol and nicotine), it seems like it always has that desire and always feels that pull. So that any difficult life situation that comes up essentially becomes their next "excuse" to go back to that lifestyle.
Next to plagues and wars, drugs are the worst things ever to befall humanity. Even with all the warnings and information about the dangers, people still choose to begin taking drugs. Even if you don't come from a broken family or an abusive or neglected childhood, peer pressure can also get young people started on the downward spiral. It may start innocently by smoking weed, then taking a hit of psychedelics during a techno concert, then on and one until each hit gets stepped up more and more, like riding more and more thrilling roller coasters. Until one day they meet someone how is looking for another lifelong income stream, and coaxes them into taking a hit of heroine, crack, fentanyl, or similar, and that's the beginning of the end.
Sorry to ramble. I just really feel for these people. And we should all thank Mark for being someone who will listen and document their stories. Which for many, will probably be their only lasting legacy.

Seriously, everyone needs to have a cheerleader in their corner, particularly in early childhood. please believe me when I tell you that not having at least one person in your corner to validate your perceptions and guide you to a better understanding, is the only help for a young child to overcome all of the madness and confusion.
One of my favorites. She is so compassionate. She deserved nothing of what she has went through. I wish for nothing but greatness in her life from this day forward.

Can we get an update on this girl.
This is so heartbreaking!
Jesus this girl is so bright, well spoken and articulate in her story telling. So so sad she has had no support or a chance for a decent life, never mind love, care and support. What a tragedy.
Every time you see a homeless person try to hand them a water bottle, a smile, a dollar. The judgement is not needed, it’s easy to judge. But to show love is what most of us should be giving out. She needed to talk ♥️ I just booked a therapy session for myself. If we all just had someone to listen we’d have a better way of coping.
Yaaaaas!! Have a good day beautiful.
Yes

I have followed Amanda's story too (RIP BABY GIRL) and I know Miranda's situation is different than hers (no parent(s) that will go above and beyond for their kid, but that is just why you need help Miranda! I'm very thankful for you channel, which I've been following for awhile, you raise awareness and teach us that we have look past "the looks" of the homeless/addicts/sexworkers in the USA.

man, usually i can make it through these videos ok, but six minutes in and I'm sobbing on my porch. I really hope this young woman is able to find some joy and piece her life. Christ if people could just be better to each other...
ive been binging these videos for a few days now since ive discovered the channel, and i cant help but feel even more saddened by the fact that the people interviewed wont always be able to see all of the love and support and understanding for them that they have brought out in people in the comment section. Im not implying that would be a saving grace, but miranda especially struck a chord in me and i just hope she can see that the whole world isnt against her despite the tragedies shes endured her entire life.
I'm ten minutes in and I have to say that this is the toughest one I've seen , talk about a defeated young lady , wow , if I could change her past I would gladly do it , my feelings are hurt for her, good luck kiddo !

I'm crying for her....this interview is brutal
Please save her...
I don’t believe have the shit she says
What can the viewers do to help?
Once you hear someone’s story, you can’t help but to love them.
What an amazing statement. You are what's missing in the world.
@@incantationsbykaryn thank you for the kind words. God Bless.
@@ridgejackson7762 God bless you.
You are a sweetheart ❤️
i love that
Man I can feel the depression and hopelessness in this woman’s being. What a tragic life. I hope she finds support and warmth to start a new way in life’s
Heart wrenching. I would really love an update on her if possible. I hope she is okay and gets help one day 💛
12 years old I was playing with dolls and didn’t even have my period. Someone failed this young girl…horribly failed her I hope and pray she finds her way for there is a peacefully calm and loving road if she takes the right turn
The entire society failed her.
Same...I didn't know what drugs were at 12...and barely knew what sex was...
Her parents were useless even though she speaks with love about them. Children from loving and caring families do not take the path she did at age 11. When a family friend SA you are 4 your parents were not taking care of you. Where were the rest of the family, why didn't they intervene, her grandparents included? She was thrown to the wolves and had to learn how to survive. Why must a 6 year old help her mom take her medicine? That alone is wrong, at 6 she was suppose to believe in fairy tales, play and dream of unicorns.
@@coobay4786 omg that's really a harsh ignorant statement, passing judgment on a young girl who does what she has to survive. Don't you fkn dare blame her for the horrid events that traumatized her for life. She's got no one to loan her any support or love. I'dike to see you being given the same fate and dire circumstances and see how you would make out. When your life is in shambles and your future has no promise and your past is a nightmare that won't leave you alone; your stuck in a grim present lost nowhere to go. Your self-worth is absent. Tell me how you'd so successfully overcome all that without help and guidance from people who know the right things to do. Just stf up and leave her alone. She's had enough shamming and people lashing out with insults and negative hurtful comments.
@@coobay4786 You are so naive. You expect a kid to take smart decisions that too after what she has gone through? I can understand your comment if she had been a fully developed adult who grew up normally. Your naivete is evidence you yourself would have been completely destroyed if you had gone thru what this kid did as a child
Damn she's so articulate and intelligent. I feel like she'd make a great drug counselor one day. I hope she finds her way in this world. You're worth it Miranda don't give up!
She'd be a great peer support worker. First she needs to focus on her healing if someone could mentor her a get her off the street and into education to help others. Mental health , counselling, ATODS support worker. There are not enough lived experience support workers in this world.
N lovely I think you are dealing with CPTSD maybe borderline. Hang in huny put all your negative to be a positive for you and people whom have experienced the same.
It’s so sad that at twenty years old you feel like all hope is gone. I feel like this could easily be me if it wasn’t for suboxone but shit I’m still fighting every day.
I want to thank this channel for the rawness. You don’t hear this kind of honesty and experience anywhere else. & praying for Miranda’s safety through life
Such an intelligent, mature girl with a beautiful soul! She just needs support and good people around who'll hekp her believe in better future. Mark ,you're her first step to changing her life for better, that I know! So genuine she is!
Miranda, if you're reading this, you're amazing!
Fuck this is the most heartbreaking story of all the ones I've heard. She is so articulate and so freaking young and insightful. She needs help. She never had a damn chance :(
My heart breaks for this young girl !! If I can be of any help to her PLEASE contact me. I’m in Ohio, I raised 4 good kids. All grown. I’d be willing to help her get on her feet. Poor girl .
You are a dear soul! Bless you
Bless you. I hope he contacts you. I'd love to be in a situation I could help her also. She is in my prayers.
I would love to help her too. I feel so terrible for her. She deserves a second chance at life.
That is so kind of you❤️
Lisa, this is the sweetest message I have seen on here!! 🙌
All of these people, the addicts, the homeless, the ones who are so badly stereotyped in life by so many people- are honestly some of the best people I've ever met (through you of course).....and it really makes you think about life, about society, about so many things. I love this girl, and I love them all. And my heart and my prayers go out to each of them. God has plans for all of us. And I think each of them honestly has a very special destiny.
I love the fact that she’s self aware and humble. She will win her battle over addiction. I hope she finds the strength to love herself enough not to touch hard drugs/opiates
Listen to you mama, "You COULD be a lawyer" and for all you are going through, you have a big heart. I went to college in my thirties, got sober and got a degree. God love you.
I’ve never said this on a video - but I seriously want to hug her 😭 seems like she has such a sweet, broken spirit 💙
Same! I feel so terrible for this child. She deserves a second chance at life. I wish we could help her.
I feel the same way. Pray this girl is doing well and hope for an update on her.
If I could bring her to Arizona to Scottsdale and put her on the mountain I live on and just get her clean.
A different Arizona than she’s ever known.
Enroll her in the schools and set her on a life path with the best help.
I’d definitely have someone shadow her every move until she was absolutely clean.
Robert Downey Jr had a man shadow him for 2 years I believe.
I have faith in her💖
I literally just said the same exact thing to my friend that's sitting here with me right now....I just want to hug this beautiful girl! I hope she is able to read these comments so we can tell her that she DESERVES LOVE AND THAT SHE IS VALID AND STRONG AND BEAUTIFUL..
@@kimberlyanne434 she has got to want that very same thing and willing to work for it. I have been in a similar situation where I gave the person everything that was amazing…they relapsed within months. Once she desires to get clean 100% & fight the urges to get high then yes…that’s a win! But you can’t just remove her to another place…..she will just find another way to get high
This poor child. I understand the pain of addiction and the depths it takes you to. I sure hope someone offers this girl some help and a chance at recovery. She can still turn her life around. My prayers go out to her and I hope her dead loved ones are with her to guide her onto the right path.
I want to give this girl a big hug. She has had so much grief in her short life. What a strong soul and lovely heart. God Bless.
She reminds me of my Soldier’s after we returned from combat. I looked at them afterwards and they were still so young but their soul’s had traveled to hell and back. That in turn gave them an essence of having aged internally and hardened in character but not by choice, but by the horrific circumstances we suffered through. I pray she gets some Mental Health help and that she finds a way out. God bless her.
True. I made an identical post. I've talked to a lot of veterans that wanted nothing more than to be back in combat because that was the only time they felt alive.
Thank you for your service, and for acknowledging her ❤ She's still in a war. We all deserve love, or the push and support to get better.
I have been thinking that both Addicts and Soldiers have a lot in common; they have both been to hell.
@@nicholasmcgreevy8313 👍 Trauma😢
@@bruji2001 yep exactly
I’m 19 and it’s so surreal to hear someone so close to my age talk about all the years of severe trauma they’ve had to endure. No one deserves that kind of pain. I hope she finds a way out of her situation and is given an opportunity to live the life she deserves - full of love and encouragement and support and understanding.
Yup. So sad. I’m 35 and haven’t been through 1/4 of this. Heartbreaking.
I really feel for this girl, I was a heroin addict for almost 15 years and lives a really rough life for a long time. I thankfully was able to find a way off the streets and have been sober for 4 years now. It’s a long hard road and I think this girl can do it but she needs someone to help her get there
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️
I hope you see this and I see your reply. I wonder what it takes to finally be sober and be willing to go through that detox and handling everything in a different way. I started on little stuff like pills and I’ve been doing fentanyl and heroin for almost a year and I hope I can quit soon.
@@skelliex2572 - I’ll be honest with you it’s not easy but if you really want it and are ready to put the work in you can do it. I had gotten sober many, many times and always relapsed but the last time I just knew I couldn’t live that life anymore. It had taken too much from me and I was just sick and tired of being sick and tired. I had overdosed so many times at that point I knew one of these times I wasn’t going saved with Narcan. I walked into the methadone clinic, did my intake and I stayed on it for about 3 years while I got a job and worked my ass off to save up to get my own place, get a car, was able to buy things like clothes and go out to eat, things I hadn’t done in years because all my money went to drugs. I did counseling and therapy to work on my mental health which was monumental in my recovery. Figuring out why I even started using, dealing with my trauma and other mental health issues and learning what my triggers were and building healthy coping skills was imperative to being successful in recovery. You have to put in the work. Once I felt like I was ready I started tapering my dose super slowly, 2mg a week then even slower to 1mg every week then as I got really low I did 1mg every other week until I got to the lowest they could give me which was 1 mg. I was hoping the withdrawal wouldn’t be that bad but it still was. I couldn’t sleep, I could barely eat, I was so restless, I had chills, etc. The worst of was the first week and it did lessen but it still lasted a few months. Took me a long time to be able to sleep completely through the night. A lot of emotional ups and downs as well, really feeling emotions was so new to me as they had been dulled by drugs for so long. I did smoke weed to help with sleeping and other withdrawal symptoms but if I did it all again I would absolutely get some comfort meds to help with the symptoms.
So in the end it was the hardest thing I have ever done but it was so, so worth it, I have so much to live for now when I for so long I had nothing. I hope you get get sober, being only a year in will make it so much easier for you, don’t waste 15 years like I did. I’ll never get those years back and I missed out on so much of my life, I try not to have regrets but that’s something I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to forgive myself for and be at peace with. Good luck and stay safe
@@skelliex2572 - Please reach out & get help. I have 3 years clean now & life has never been better. You only need to get through one day at a time, sometimes only one minute at a time. You are worth it & I promise you that with sobriety, comes a lot of blessings. If you want a better & sober life- you can get it. Please get help. Sending you love & light💕
This is one of the most powerful interviews I’ve seen from this channel and that’s saying a lot since they are all so powerful 😞
This girl speaks like she's reading passages from her own auto biography. So much pain but so much beauty mixed in. Life is long. You will see better days. 😌
I hope so! It is do dangerous out there, that most ppl cant even imagine what those young kidshave to fndure on the street included me
I’m sorry but she will be dead soon. Our wishful thinking won’t help here. My husband is police officer he gets ODs calls to kids like that every day
This baby needs solace. She needs sleep and safe harbor 💔
Amen 🎊
Amen 🙏❤️
Wise beyond her years. Her empathy toward other people, even in her situation is incredible. I felt every word she said, she's the real deal, honest and raw. I pray and will continue to pray that someone gives this girl a hand up. She has so much life ahead and has been through it all already, she's worth it.
Shes so young and in tune with reality. She just needs that one chance to be better again. I see big bright future for this young lady
@@isabelzuniga1147 I hope so too. She deserves it.
Amen! I completely agree, she just needs a chance. She is someone who I think would do really well if only she's given that opportunity.
Wise beyond years don't do fentanyl or heroin....
@@stevestewart499 Whys that?
She can get student grants, loans, and housing and start all over if she could just get the help that she needs. This precious child..it’s heartbreaking. Thank you so much Mark, for giving them voices and letting the rest of the world be reminded of who has been forgotten. We all have to help as much as we can.
I hope she finds her way to freedom from this wicked addiction. I survived heroin addiction and I’ll say this ; it’s not easy ! But it’s doable.
This poor girl. I have NEVER heard of so much loss for one 20 year old baby. God bless her.
I just want to wrap my arms around her and tell her that I love her, she is loved. She’s something in this world.. she needs to know that.
Please share more of Mirandas story. God Bless her beautiful soul 🙏
Please keep us updated on Miranda. Out of all the videos I’ve seen on your channel, Miranda’s story really moved me.
this channel gets under your skin... i love your non-judgemental interview style, your commitment to new content, and helping us see the humanity in all these struggling people. your body of work uploaded to youtube is truly amazing and so helpful to society beyond measure. keep going....
@Chris M agree 100% that’s why I never say never. Your life can change from one day to another. Most of this interviews I have noticed stem from childhood. Parents are suppose to protect,love and care for the child. Some of them don’t even make that decision. Because their own parents introduce them to drugs.
There’ll be a time societies uphold these interviews as gospel.
100% ageee- this is how journalists should do documentary’s. People learn and become compassionate for our society and help each other up. Even just to learn of what’s out there and how to be grateful for your life and what you have .
This guy should get a award for sure .
He always seems to have the same tone though as if hes distancing himself. I wish his voice had a little more feeling to it. I'm not dissing him I just feel like he could have more empathy....
You put into words the words I was searching for. Thanks 🙏🏼
This video made me so depressed. I complain about my wants & she needs everything I already have.
same here
Likewise
Exactly
This one really hit me for some reason, the sincerity and honesty and also humbleness are so touching ❤️❤️
Out of all the videos I watched from your channel, this one was the host heart hurting and emotional video! I pray for you !
I have nothing but compassion for this young lady. I hope she realizes how truly strong she is. I can’t even begin to imagine all that she has gone through, she is a true survivor and deserves a chance for a better life.
I wish this girl had the same chance as Amanda to change her life. Amanda's story is a miracle.
Amanda has a great support system most importantly a dad who will go to the end of the Earth for her...this girl has nothing
I was thinking that same thing!
I was thinking the same thing AURA
I thought the very same thing.
Morgan I'm sure that Mark offers everyone that seems willing opportunities. But the big question is DO THEY WANT THAT CHANCE !? I mean Amanda didn't even want it at first, it was an up hill battle. Glad bless her .
Mark, I appreciate every one of the videos I’ve seen on this channel. Puts things into a perspective not a lot of people have seen and it’s so educational. Is there any sort of update on this poor girl? If so you should post I’m very interested as to where she went after this
I seen most of your videos, this one touch me more than most. That poor beautiful lady is having such a sad, and bad life. Definitely praying for her to get clean, and get back on her feet.
This might be the most heart crushing story on this site...I will help her if I can find her…
You could still be a lawyer Miranda. You are so clever!!! I'm not blowing smoke! You've had all these awful experiences and you're still alive. You have my eternal respect lady! I hope you can find a way to get a leg up and onto a path outa shitsville. With your wisdom, loving attitude and massive life experience, you have so much to give and so much to gain. You're in my thoughts.
@@maria_m4904 oh

@Lady Kamia That's a lot but with a sponsor possible. Maybe studying abroad, in any field. My point is that Miranda has massive abilities in critical thinking. I believe she could accomplish anything with help from friends and yes, definitely a lot of cash. Saying that, without tons of cash Miranda can reach any happy place she chose to focus on. I'm blown away that this human being is so articulate in the face of many many potentially fatal blows. There must be more for her, she deserves contentment.

Her story really got to me. She's such a strong, brave, beautiful, intelligent woman and she didn't deserve any of the sh*t she's gone through. I really, really, from the bottom of my heart, hope she's getting better. I hope she gets to be a fantastic mum to beautiful children, have a safe home, and just the GOOD life such an amazing young woman deserves!

@@kellywhite1441 thx girl
@@omarayala2263 that’s awesome
@@Razo20 thx Juana
I'm proud of you.
This young woman needs a therapeutic center, out in nature with professionals. Build community away from the streets. She's so young, she could help so many young people during her journey.
Thank you for saying that. That’s what I was imagining for her. Somewhere with nature, with a community. And she could do it.
its like, can we crowd fund a farm?? have dispersed housing for small teams of these kids, teams that form over 6 qualifying workshops/meetings on the street, where 3-4 of these girls meet and join up and motivate each other and hold each other accountable and 1/2 mile away there's 4-5 of guys who teamed up in a similar way.
rehab/therapy yes, but MOSTLY just to have ONE chance to be in a peaceful spot and learn some real, good, simple, life stuff
no doubt, it would be a massive challenge
straight rehab seems pointless for her, wilderness challenge, pretentious.
she doesn't have much to look back on or go back to.
she needs to find a base for slowly
Yes! With horses and animals that show her unconditional love. In a proper program like that I feel she would really thrive. My heart hurts for her! I want to just hug her for the longest time.
I'm praying for this girl🙏 She's so real and raw, heartbreaking story. She's so young, yet lived a whole life... I'm praying she receives help..she can have an awesome future and help so many others. God bless her.
my heart is completely broken for this girl. she's only 20 and has experienced so much hardship. sending love and light to her- praying she gets out of this. May God keep her safe always
i wish people would stop taking their lives for granted. so many kids too comfortable, almost finding things to complain about, when there’s people living like this.
YESSSSS
Not almost. They do.
it puts shit into perspective for me. I complain about having to go to work but at least I have a a job to make money and a house to not wanna be away from 🤣🤣
Well said.
That’s race to the bottom thinking. A lot of the working and middle class have emotional issues from incorrect parenting and many have childhood trauma from bullying, etc. The better off you are, the more intimately you can see your remaining issues. Everyone has a right to complain. Just my take
“Being me ain’t nothing to be” that broke me when she said that. This girl is so smart and has a huge heart! Life is just unfair. She suffered far beyond her years. My daughter just turned 12 yesterday, seeing how innocent kids are at that age just explains how hard this girl had it by the time she was 12 to put a needle in her arm. This is one of the saddest videos I’ve watched on this channel, I honestly feel if someone stepped up and offered help this girl would take it and not look back. I wish I had the ability to do that. 💕
MaNy things she said broke me….so wise
She's still a child but has the pain of a many years of tragic circumstances. She talks like she's so sad and tired and already lived a life worth of pain. I'm 43 and I remember being a 20 addict. I was just a baby too looking back. Keep fighting the good fight sweetheart. You life is worth saving and you can get better. Your smart and capable. Give it your all. I got sober but it took me a very long time. You are so young that you can change the course of your life still and not look back like me at 40 and see I squandered 25+ years in several additions. But I finally got clean. Your a fighter. I believe in you. I'm sorry for your loss of your children and fiancee. I am a widow with two girls. I am rooting for you ❤️✌️
She speaks so well and with much intelligence. And she spoke to getting sober previously, which is wonderful. I hope she is able to get the help she needs for her addictions and the multiple traumas she has endured throughout her young life. Very sad. God bless you Miranda ❤
Miranda the first 47 years of my life was an unhappy tragic filled drama - paternal rape , teenage pregnancy , poverty , spousal abuse , adultery , two divorces , seldom a day I had joy but today at 51 it's 100% joy .

My niece Rachelle passed away 3 months ago of a fentanyl overdose. She was 25 years old and left a one year old Son behind. This horrific event has absolutely devastated our whole family. Rachelle's story is just one of hundreds of thousands of stories across the United States as evidenced by Miranda and all of the people that you interview. This is the REAL pandemic, lost souls with no support, children fending for themselves and having babies that they cannot care for because of coming from totally dysfunctional families that can be generational. We all need to open our eyes and SEE and have empathy and love for all of these people that are so deeply hurt. That is the whole problem in this world, too much narcissism, not enough love and empathy for our fellow human beings.

I have two very small boys, and I intend to show them this video one day. I want them to have perspective and understanding of how difficult life can be. When you make the wrong choices, they can destroy your life. I learned from experience, and I don't want them to have to live through many of the things I did, or she did. This video is a really good example for them. I appreciate the interview, and her open honesty. It will help some kids, I'm sure of it.
Listening to these interviews makes me put my life into perspective to where I can appreciate how good it is.
Damn, she just said that she shot up meth at the age of 12. That really hit me hard. 12 years old & shot up merh, that is really crazy. & her baby daddy was shooting up heroin & he beat her up. She is only 20 years of age & she really doesn’t look good at all. This young lady better get out of this lifestyle because if she doesn’t, she is not going to last that long. Man, this is a sin & this young lady really hit my heart.

I used to be one of those really judgemental people that looked down on people in these situations. I’ve realized after hearing these stories of childhood trauma that I’ve just been really really lucky… I’m so sorry 😢 you had to go through all of this. It’s not your fault. You’re so intelligent and beautiful and I see so much potential in you.
I don’t understand how you could ever look down on people in these situations, I’m glad you moved past it but still.
You seriously thought ppl like this grew up with loving, nurturing parents and just decided on their own to turn out this way?
It takes a lot of courage to change your perspective like that. Good for you.

@@stevestewart499 I'm on ure side man these people drinking that koolaid, bunch of softies who've NEVER delt w addicts OR addiction
I don’t cry often but I cried today watching this poor victim of circumstance. Miranda, I wish you the best. You deserve a better life and you have so many years ahead of you. I wish you could feel the love from all the comments on here. You are a beautiful soul.
Miranda! Pls don't give up... A beautiful soul like you needs to be in this world! I cannot get over how emotionally beautiful and intelligent you are ❣️
This poor woman is obviously so much better than the world she comes from. I wish her nothing but the best, and should the opportunity present itself, I will be more than happy to actively help myself. She deserves it.
Yes but at this stage it's not clear she has the motivation to move on. What happened is not mostly her fault but intervention and change cannot be imposed because that simply doesn't work. She admits she has done rehab already. All of these interventions are only assistance to a person motivated to change. Without the intrinsic bit the extrinsic part will fall on stony ground. Unfortunately.
As a mother, I feel for this young woman.
She was born and raised in an environment that she stood little chance of thriving and succeeding in, a victim of circumstance.
She is without a doubt, the oldest and most weary 20 year old I've ever seen. Her eyes are lifeless.
I hope and pray she can break free of the demons that have hold of her. She deserves a chance at a good life! 😥
Breaks my heart, especially when I think about how different she is from the friends I had way back in my 20s, she should be having fun and living a great life. Wish kids like this got way more protection, things like this bring out my dad genes, just wanna make sure she's safe and away from all the bs she's had to experience so far in life. She deserves better.
There has to be a purpose for her survival. I am sure there is. I just hope she finds it someday. It is very hard, very painful to even listen to something like this let alone to go through it. While I was sad for a stupid guy not replying to me at 19 she was fighting for Life from addiction, with kids, being an orphan, without any shelter or food. This is an eye opener to me. So proud of you Miranda. For everything you are, for everything you have been been regardless of the choices you made. You'll get through this, the way you already have. Prayers.
This girl has suffered so much tragedy. Please Mark, find someone to help her. She is right there on the edge of help. Just like Amanda. She is young and change can happen! I wish her the best of luck. I wish she could get her legal documents and that someone would hold on to them for her. ❤️
@Lady Kamia she does, she also needs her identification and birth certificate so that if she wanted help in getting clean she could show who she is and then she would have the documents needed to get a job.
I agree, I wonder if there's a follow up video. If Mark ask her to allow his help, I believe she will take it.
Q. N
Jesus, please. My jaw was constantly dropped and eyes cryin listenin to this poor girl so matter of factly describe her life. I've been a drug addict for 17 years, nearly the length of her life and yet I feel as though she's had it tougher. I'm prayin for you Miranda.
Any updated interview with her? I hope she's okay and doing better. She deserves a whole lot more of this life. Regardless of what she's been through... she's so well articulated and I wept along with her :( God bless her!
That interview was so raw and honest. This girl is so beautiful and intelligent . She could do so much good in this world if she was just given the opportunity. I hope someone can find her and give her a chance. She deserves that. She doesn’t deserve what she is getting. Her soul is good!
