that's the most unrealistic aspect of the show that a hardcore junkie drug addict that doesn't have a study boyfriend like rue ain't turning tricks for drug money
she doesn't have a job. doesn't have rich parents to still money from, doesn't have rich junkie friends to bum drugs off..... a dusty mixed chick like rue would be doing all type sex act's to get drug money from giving middle schooler hands jobs, to meeting pedo suger daddy's online to just being a 'Lot Lizard" fukking stranger she just meet in parking lots a cross town
this show
'goes there' with every other taboo subject but chicken outs at the rue character realistically most likely being a junke teen prostitute
