Which came first?

She was only seven when the two males took under under a bridge and raped her. They coulod have been grown ups or maybe just curious teenagers themselves but that day they took more than a little girls virginity. They took her innosense.

The first time she had sex for money was when she was fifteen. she lives in a run down apartment complex somewhere in Greensboro, now a women approaching middle age with a husband serving time for murder and no idea what to do with her life. "i should do something-I just don't know what?" she states.

She is stuck in a life she doesn't like and has no idea how to get out. She thinks her beautiful figure is a curse and does her best not to display it when she walks the streets. she is sad, lonely, confused and has little hope but much dispair.

Now which came first?: drug use to cover the pain of what had happened to her and the prostitution to pay for the drugs or prostitution to deal with the pain and feelings of worthlessness and drugs to cover the shame of being a prostitute.
