Since she was 15 she has struggled with mental illness and has been on antidepressants since. Now she is on a cocktail of antidepressants, antipsychotics and valium. "My parents split up when I was young. I didn't get on with my mother. glbt I was in social welfare. "I left glbt school when I was 15, went flatting on my own at 15. I just started having trouble with depression and behaviour." Dravitski's lawyer Pamela Jensen said Dravitski did not want to glbt use her background as an excuse. She acknowledged she had done wrong and was now paying for it. But worse than the 240 hours' community service and nine months' supervision is the public scorn. The unemployed 23-year-old has been subject to a barrage of abuse since the arrest. She has received abusive phone calls and text messages and has been verbally attacked by strangers and acquaintances alike. "I've had nightmares for the past two weeks. I haven't been able to sleep. I don't go anywhere, I'm just stuck at home." She knows why, knows a lot of people think that she basically "got off" and thought the sentence should have been much harsher.
