I've never been diagnosed with ADHD, but I do think that I've got ADHD.

But I think if I was a kid nowadays, I'd definitely be diagnosed with it.

But, yeah, no, I'm not diagnosed with it.

I have got 77 convictions, all in all.

First one when I was 12 for street robbery.

Then I went to prison for malicious wounding, Section 20.

Stabbed someone in the head four times, a man.

So that's what I went to prison for when I was 13 years old.

Well, when I was 13, I was sexually assaulted.

in a hotel room by someone else.

It wasn't this man that I attacked, but I was angry.

And then I was hanging about with another group of lads.

But anyway, they were the same sort of age, another older lot.

And this geezer was meant to be a wronger and a grass or something.

And yeah, I just, I picked up a mug, what you drink like tea with, and I smashed it over his head and I had the handle in my hand and I stabbed him in the head with that four times.

I mean, I wouldn't say I'm a violent person for no reason, but my dad's always told me to stick up for myself and...

you know violence is not the answer but you know sometimes people leave you no choice but yeah I wouldn't say that I'm violent in that world you have to be though I think to survive you know I was a girl on my own essentially with these group of people going from people to people to people you know you've got to have something about you haven't you

When I was 13, yeah.

I was smoking crack, but I wasn't bang, bang, bang at it.

I took drugs from the age of 11.
