Charleston began having difficulties learning in school, issues at home, and bullies. At the age of 9, Charleston was raped by a school bully and beaten up so badly that the principal had to contact the parents and inform them of the situation.

On the 6th of May 2009, the court ruled Charleston's offender as being not guilty which was a huge shock to Charleston. Even though he was 9, he understands the court system by watching too many crime shows and law and order. Charleston looked at his parents and looked at the lawyer, thinking there might be a mistake or there is an issue, but no one gave the kid attention. Charleston was broken inside because he knows the amount of shame is coming especially living in an Islamic country. After leaving court Charleston's dad accused him of being gay and weak.

So, he started doing them daily before classes and after arriving home. Charleston got addicted to cocaine, alcohol, and pills ( Xanax, pain killers, lean and more). At the age of 15, Charleston started to go out parting and have fun while also maintaining good grades in school.

Charleston explained his story and Dave's family confirms it is an act of self-defense due to Dave's history. Charleston apologizes to the family's mother and father. The mother stated '' drugs let your mind lose and control your ego, our son had it coming at least he isn't dead to break my heart but now he won't be able to speak or do anything which is a relief''. Charleston replied by saying '' mam your son was my best friend but what he did isn't your fault'', Dave's mom said ''I know sweetie I am glad it was you who did it not someone who will kill him''. The next day Charleston receives a phone call from Dave's brother.

Charleston had 10 breaks ups as he describes the story to me. His first girlfriend is a cs go player and date her from 2016 to 2017. His 2nd to 9th were 2-month relations after catching them cheating with someone in his bed, Charleston told her if we can talk and maybe solve it, even though Charleston is not soft from the outside he is from the inside as there was a development of his life, where now he starts to forgive and forget. So, it began in 2019 Charleston met an American girl in college and dated her for approximately 9 months, in January 2020 they broke up again and Charleston said '' it is fine if you want to be a lesbian but don't play with my emotions''. That night Charleston got drunk and called someone named Layla a Turkish single mother who has a similar problem in life where she became lesbian because she doesn't like dating men anymore due to her past. Layla answers her phone looking at Charleston drunk and high off coke and in rage, she hangs up and txt him '' what are you doing with your life?'' concerned Layla calls after he didn't reply.

Charleston and Layla now live in turkey with 3 children. Charleston always tried working hard to provide back at the same time learned new skills, he tried marketing, social media approach, copywriting, listing to people, and more but none of them were as successful as his company with his wife is. Charleston's story shows that no matter how much you get your hand dirty in life you will eventually rely on what is right and what is wrong. Charleston's story always inspires me to think about what the meaning of life is when I feel down, there could be a moment in my life that may turn my life around just like Charleston, those stories will teach us that no matter who is the person In Front of us is at the end we are humans who suffer the same. Charleston's story ends with a happy ending because he fought for it and he told In the meeting to include in this, '' no matter what life gives you from punches, pain, problems or bad family, know that God looks and listens then it delivers you when you talk to him and express your feelings to him.'', Charleston explains that he is now drug-free since 2020 after meeting Layla and going strong.
