Girls Just Want To Have Fun

Read how Ruth had a happy childhood until a stranger dragged her into his car and raped her. Afraid of family reaction, she tried to cover up what had happened and numbed her pain through drugs. Now 25, she is still lying to her family and unable to curb her addiction. Elsewhere, Jane recalls how, at 15, she told her mother that she was going out with her friends for the night but never returned. Instead, she travelled with her boyfriend to England, where they quickly fell into the drug scene. Then there is Ann, who once hated drugs after seeing the damage it had done to her family in the past. After living a drug-free life for 26 years, during which time she had six children, she reveals why she succumbed to the lure of illegal substances and the devastating effects it has had on her life. These are just a few of the tragic accounts that appear in "Girls Just Want To Have Fun", a controversial collection of true stories that reveal the secret problem of drug addiction amongst Irish women today.
