His dad abandoned him and his mother when he was 18 months old.

He changed schools 3 times a year so his mom could find a job. He had no friends.

He was beat up in hallways, bathrooms, and put in lockers.

His mom was a drug addict and it was said she abused him.

He failed the 9th grade 3 times before dropping out.

He was told he wouldn't make it as a rapper because he's white.

His closest friend Ronnie committed suicide.

He and his wife divorced twice and he was left to raise his daughter alone.

& where is he now?
no hes not poor or homeless. Hes out there , inspiring millions of people with his raps, setting records, winning awards and changing music.

It just goes to show that you can overcome anything.

Fave if Eminem's music has helped you through a tough time

♥
we love you slim shady
