[ WP ] `` Why would you throw your life away like this ? ''

Harry is a 18 year old Caucasian male who is above average attractive with long brown hair that he combs over to the side with a part and a tapered fade in the back. He has a medium build with some muscle definition that he obtained after years of playing sports. He has deep green eyes with a youthful and innocent look to them. He has an energetic and lively personality, he was always the life of the party. Harry has it all, a family, loving siblings, a solid group of friends and limitless potential. He was studying at university to learn more about technology and to hopefully one day be involved in social entrepreneurship so that he could make an impact in the world. Money was never an issue in his life and probably never will be. Yet, no one, not even himself could have pictured the spot that he currently found himself in a few years later. 
 “ Hey I am talking to you young man! Answer me! How could you throw your life away like this?! ” Harry ’ s mother exclaimed in a deepened sadness. Harry, with a glossed over look in his eyes, holding back tears, could not bear to look his mother in the eyes. It was too much for him. He couldn ’ t deal with all of these raw emotions. He slammed the door to his room and looked in the mirror while his mom thrashed at his door yelling “ OPEN UP! ” whilst uncontrollably crying. Harry did not know the person that he was looking at in the mirror anymore. His face was pale and chubby with a double chin, his arms were covered in trace mark scars. His once in shape body was no more, instead he was overweight and appeared to not have a single muscle in his body. His eyes were now emotionless windows that peered into the soul of a destroyed and lost boy. Questions like “ How did I get here? What did I do to myself? ” enveloped his mind. He was disgusted and defeated, a shell of what he once was. Harry was happy at one point but, his Achille ’ s heal had taken its toll on him, his addictive personality and insecurities. 
 Harry had always known that he had an addictive personality, when he did something that he enjoyed he always had to do it to the extreme. He couldn ’ t help it, that ’ s just how his brain was wired. He always went super hard in sports and in the gym, two very positive addictions of his. His whole life he had been able to keep his addictive personality at bay when it came to things like drugs and alcohol. This was because he always had sports, a girlfriend, and a good group of friends. Then in college he let himself go, he got caught up in the partying and struggled to keep up with his physical appearance because his drive was slipping away. He started drinking too much which lead to him breaking up with his longtime girlfriend that he loved because of all the fighting and he did not want to bring her down with him. After this he had trouble making real friends in college and started to lose touch with his old hometown friends. His insecurities started to take hold the more out of shape that he got, leading to him to drink and party more. Eventually he found himself all alone and isolated because no one wanted to hang out with a drunk. He then started to do harder and harder drugs. He did his best to hide all of this from his parents because he did not want to cause concern. He believed that he could bring himself out of this hole that he had dug himself. Oh boy was Harry wrong. 
 The drugs and alcohol just kept getting worst. Harry was blacking out almost every night at school and he wouldn ’ t even know what drugs that he was taking. He developed an opioid addiction and found himself shooting up. His parents finally felt as though they had to intervene because they could not watch their only son throw his life away anymore which lead up to the moment with his mother at the beginning. 
 Harry, with tears pouring down his face, opened the door to his bedroom, faced his mom and looked into her eyes. He grabbed her with a hug and whimpered “ I am so sorry, I am so lost, I need help. ” 
 Finally, he admitted that he could not do it on his own anymore. Now there is hope for Harry.
