Tahidi High Actor Reveals How His Guardian Tortured Him That He Almost Killed Himself

 

His story speaks volumes of what many other orphaned kids may be going through in the hands of those entrusted to look after them. At only 18, Kelvin Rost (Kelvin in Tahidi High) has been through what most of his age mates haven’t only hear of.

The Tahidi High actor recently opened up to Julie Mugure of Salon Solutions magazine about his tribulations.

He reveals he’s never met his parents as he was orphaned when he was very young and adopted by his grandmother who also unfortunately passed on leaving him under the care of his uncle and aunt. And marked the genesis of his problems.

“They were not the best of ‘parents’ and it looks like they were set out to make sure my life here on earth is a living hell. They tortured me emotionally, physically and financially. They used to beat me up for no apparent reason and they stopped paying for my school fees with the money sent to do so from a children’s home I was registered in.”

 

 

At one point he even considered suicide and nothing could stop him from that.

“Life seemed to have no meaning and at that time, suicide seemed the best option out of my misery. One morning during prep time I swallowed tens of pills and slept hoping to never wake up.”
