He was a very insecure child, uncomfortable, and feelings of loneliness were all too common, which led to some serious bullying. He turned to drugs and alcohol to cope, the only things that made him feel ok and started dealing at age 14. He got kicked out of his mom's and dropped out of high school, and so the high cost of low living in the fast lane going nowhere fast ensued. Adam never returned to school. At this point he began to live on his own at the age of 15, this is when drug dealing entered his life which eventually resulted in his death.
His full-time career became using and selling, he had his own place early on, even a vehicle with no license. Adam was hanging with the wrong crowd, but feeling that false sense of belonging, respect, strength, and that people feared him, took away all his insecurities and he felt invincible.
