This seems like some weird psychological thriller you might pull from Netflix on Saturday night, but it's real life.

In a video posted to YouTube, 19-year-old Alecia Pennington seems like a normal American woman, but she's not.

She can't even prove to the government that she exists.

How does that happen?

According to her, she was born here in the United States and has lived here all of her life. She was born at home and her parents didn't report her birth, no birth certificate or birth record of any kind. She was home-schooled all her life. Also, she has never been to the hospital, so there's no medical records.

She explains in the video that because of these things she has no way to prove her identity or citizenship.

Taking all of the above into account, she has no way of getting a bank account, a job, a driver's license or anything. Her parents won't even help her out.

You'll have to check out the video because that's just scratching the surface.

Here's the problem though, I'm even skeptical of this video!

I want to believe her, but the Internet is full of hoaxes. If her claims are true, her parents need to be held accountable for this, which is probably why they won't help.

She's asking for help from anyone who has ever been through something like this. She's asking for e-mails at helpmeproveit@gmail.com.

Have you ever been through something like this?
