Roxy Longworth

Roxy Longworth was groomed, blackmailed, exploited and publicly humiliated by sixth form boys at 13. At 14, she began to self-harm, started hearing voices, suffered a psychotic break and was hospitalized. She came out of hospital and started the hellish climb to recovery which took years. She wrote a diary all the way through, even when imaginary people were telling her what to write. At 17 she started putting her diary entries together, having not said what had happened out loud to anybody, not even her mother. At 18, she finished school with three A*s in A-level maths, chemistry and biology.
