My daughter went to summer boarding school for a month this summer. She is in 10th grade. She was hanging out with a 9th grader and they were talking about a book they both had read for pleasure that year---Go Ask Alice.
For those of you unfamiliar with the book it is "praised for conveying a powerful message about the dangers of drug abuse. " The main character is raped, abused, meseriable loses her mind for a while and then dies of a drug overdose.
The 9th grader says to my daughter ---"wow yea that book made me want to try molly and X and LSD."
My daughter looked at her and said ' that is what you took away?'
Interesting. My daughter will not be attending that boarding school.
