“I’ve never been to a football game, went to a REAL party (not birthday parties), prom, or any other dances during high school,” Deyjah revealed. “My parents were pretty strict,” the young adult continued. “If I did get permission to go somewhere, it would kinda be like a ‘someone/security needs to go with you.’ I didn’t wanna ruin the fun for people I was hanging with or have them feeling like I thought I was better than them because of it.”
