Mark this was one of the most beautiful interviews. The way you console her, the advice you give her. Will go a long way I promise you. I’ve been there and I wish I had someone like you telling me these things as a young girl. I love how you call her beautiful at the end and not to rely on it. I wish more young girls would watch this. Brought me to tears. Thank you for everything you do mark.

[@SoftWhiteUnderbelly]

Thank you. Ivy just showed up unannounced at my studio two weeks ago and it seemed clear she needed someone to talk to. I usually try not to give advice in these talks (at least, not on camera), but in this case I think she was looking for help so I shared my thoughts with her. Ivy has so much potential, but sadly, she’s had no good role models or guidance in her life. Her life can go in two very different directions right now and I felt the need to stop my usual Joe Friday impersonation on this channel and give my advice. It may help her or others, hopefully. I’ll upload another video this weekend with a fourteen year old prostitute named Momo who is in a similar situation. These girls’ stories are sad and difficult to hear but if you listen you begin to understand how they happen. Edit: I’ve also just shot an update video with Chyna, the sixteen year old prostitute. This girl’s story get more interesting by the day, but she has asked me wait to upload her second video until she sorts out some personal matters. You’ll see that update shortly.

HER SILENCE IS SO LOUD

[@sheisawarenow3753]

Young, tired, hurt, in too much pain, depressed, almost ready to give up....loves her daughter...but still a time bomb. Sad situation.

[@kellogss7891]

Seriously I did while spiritual reading on this girl by accident

[@kellogss7891]

Deja Wiili she’s sad she feel like she just doing her life the way she doing it because that’s what she knows she feel like this may be where life stops for her because every time she tries to come out of it she falls back how ever she is convinced subconsciously and trained to believe that she’s no better than what she is so it’s like she walking in the word with her eyes sewn shut she need to listen to what god is telling her and stop settling for what she was trained to do

[@kellogss7891]

Deja Wiili she doesn’t realize yet that what she is doing is to build her mental strength but it’s also a choice Bc she doesn’t have to learn her Lessons the way she’s learning them but she was taught to believe that this what her life is

[@kellogss7891]

Atleast her Daughter is with the grandparents and not in the system

[@dipmeingloss]

Fr, kids being in the system suffer from so many different forms of abuse.

[@mzfancy4767]

Exactly. She can easily fix this problem...solution is get herself from around the ppl she is with, try to gain employment or go to school, possibly get a stable place to stay if she doesn't have it already. She still has access to her baby so it's not the end for her. She just has to put forth the effort.

[@azizalowe3769]

Y’all wasn’t listening. Her mother which is the grandmother who was taking care of HER daughter, the grandmother called social services and they took her. That’s why she’s sad. Her own mother called on her!

This isn't always the best thing. Disordered grandmother's create disordered grandchildren. If it was her own mother.... That's disturbing.

I feel people in the comments missed the symptoms of disassociation from PTSD. I “zone out” a lot and stare into space.. something that was said triggered a response that made me turn inwards to think. You can tell she’s thinking in her head. Processing. Trauma takes its toll on the way your brain processes. I don’t have a drug addiction- I have trauma and mental illnesses from it. Disassociating is a way your brain protects it help from the emotions. I got yelled at when I got upset so instead I go inward instead of showing external emotion bc my brain views that as unsafe to show emotion. Just a thought to consider

@Iam Notafan She is depressed you can see it, and not just about her daughter, she is depressed about her life. She isn't "choosing" anything. She's lost and hopeless. If you can't see she is depressed...your perspective is blind. She is twenty years old and lost. She is stuck in a hopeless state. She knows her daughter is in a better place. She's aware of that, but she herself has no hope for herself. How can she concentrate on her child when she herself is a lost child? Saying she's tired and sleeps all the time more than once shows she is close to giving up. I know what that means to be hopeless. She is a child with a child. "She" needs help. She needs someone strong to help her get out of the flux she's in but, there is no one. Not everyone is strong emotionally. Not everyone is like you. Saying she should take the time to better herself is not what she is capable of......She is lost. Appearing on this video was the best she could do to find help.....I hope she doesn't end her life.

Hi Mark, I'm a 25 yr old social worker from Australia and I think the work you did in this short interview was amazing. You gave your all to try and influence her within her own decision making, provide her with the means necessary to make an informed decision in her life and instigate the agent for change. It is not an easy task to challenge someone on their own beliefs and values but you handled it with practiced skill and we also need to recognise that takes courage because you never know what reaction you will get. I noticed the script changed in this video as you're not usually so involved and normally have minimal involvement to give the people you interview space to tell their story. We can all see your huge passion, jumping in and helping her after seeing that she was starting to give up and accept her situation. She needed to hear the advice you gave her. I have the utmost respect and admiration for your work and your campaign. Also the subtle approaches you take to influence change in the lives of your interviewees. Take care of yourself, Kerrie.

IT´S evident that she is deeply affected by her daughter´s departure, luckily she is with blood, better that than in care. I hope her daughter will be motivation enough for her to get on the right route. Good luck Ivy, your whole life is ahead of you, you can shape your own future.

[@d.biancaklinglesmith6932]

Her daughter could be her motivation if she stopped focusing on losing her and turning all of her focus on building herself up and do what she needs to do to get her daughter back in her care AND giving herself a life she can be proud of!

[@DawnOfKelly]

My God, she reminds me of myself. If you have a family that has made bad decisions you tend to feel beholden to that. But God is saying follow Me. I’ll be with you and never leave you. I had to make hard decisions to stop doing things my family did and start doing things my family didn’t do. What helped me most was reading the Bible, listening to sermons, and hearing what God was saying to me through those words. I pray that this is your turning point lovely Ivy. Mark is right. You must be strong and very courageous for yourself. God will give you a way out. Take it. You have great rewards up ahead. ❤️

My parents are alcoholics. I am, but quit drinking around 5 months ago. I dont keep count. Tomorrow I'm quitting smoking cigarettes while I have 4 days off of work. A person can break the cycle with Jesus's help, but they've got to want it. I wanted to write a comment to you because you said you've been watching sermons. I dont go to church and I dont get excited by pastors or religion in general. However, the other day I found a preacher on youtube, who preaches with the Bible only and he got me fired up! His name is Pastor Gino Jennings and to me, he is one in a million. He's genuine and righteous. If you're interested, I think you may enjoy the way he teaches. He's definitely a man of God among false prophets and charlatans. He got me excited about my Bible. Anyways, God bless you, and take care!

BOODRO WEBB Thank you, I’ll check him out! Wow, look at God, sending you exactly who you need to hear, how you need to hear them so that ultimately HE can talk to you. That is one of my favorite things about God. He loves us on an individual level and doesn’t just write us off. Father God, in the name of Jesus I’ve come in to pray for my brother Boodro Webb and his continued sobriety along with his success of being able to quit smoking. Let him know that he is more than a conqueror through Him that loved us, Christ Jesus. And let him know that he is blessed beyond measure. Satisfy him through your Holy Spirit. Show him his path and give him the courage to walk in it. Amen 🙏🏾

[@samryon3615]

This was very painful to watch. I wanted to just reach thru the screen and hug this young lady until all her pain was gone! 😭😭😭. Her silences was deafening. When i was on the streets, i remember. To be in a cycle of that life is so devestating. You are so hopeless. When family doesnt care. When u have to do things u never thought u would have to do just to get by...then use to cover up said feelings about said things...the cycle then continues. She is disconnecting and it is painful to see this beautiful, sweet wellspoken young lady like this. All i can say is this. If i can do it..she can too. I was a hardcore alcoholic(i have stage IV(4) cirrhosis and chronic pancreatitis)). It was hard, i put the drink down(3 days of the DT's in my tent puking and shaking) 5 months later my dog and i got our first apt. Its been 6 yrs now off streets. Becuz of the drinking i am terminally ill even tho no drinking. I pray to God someone will help this young lady. Mark is right tho, its gonna be tough but i know it can be done. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

She’s so broken but not beyond repair. She understands the concept of hope, but she’s so deep into her depression that it’s such a foreign idea to actually view as attainable. I believe in her. She can do it, once she gets over the fear of getting out and a lack of a support system. Like Mark said it’s not about being ready. You just have to do it. There’s nothing scarier than the unknown. I just want to hug her. She’s so hurt.

[@latriceshow361]

[@jetcitygrljewels9719]

Mark, one of the things that I love most about you and your interviews is that you never judge. I loved how delicate you were with Ivy, you knew exactly what to say. You even got a little smile from that pretty face. This interview is very special. There are places (if she were willing to go) that support sex workers starting over and from what I understand other services such as behavioral healthcare are provided. She would have support there and some are in a group setting. (I am sure that you know of these places). Also, I wish that I could speak to Ivy. I know that the unknown and change can be scary, especially if it involves starting your life completely over. I am not here to preach, but to support, as I have been starting over and I am 53-years-old. I am doing it and so can she. I left my 29-year-old abusive marriage with little money or belongings. I worked for the first 5-years. In 2018 I was given a grant to go to college full-time, I will graduate in early 2021 and go to work in the healthcare field. In my state women with children are able to obtain assistance if needed. Ivy may be eligible for assistance with a lot of things until she gets her feet on the ground. I wish you the best Ivy! You can do this!!!🌸🌺🌺🌸💐🌸🌺🌺🌸
