As adults it seems like "so what?" but to teens these problems seem so huge. It's so sad, and I think this book gave me some perspective -- since I'm SOOO far from being that age (much farther than you...)

The thing is, it wasn't just one thing it was the culmination of it all that drove this poor young gal over the edge. You sort of hit the nail on the head when you said the things that happened to her really didn't warrant her taking her own life. Sadly, this is how it is with most teen suicides. Their problems seem more insurmountable than they really are. If they could just make it through to see things through more adult eyes like yourself, in retrospect he/she would realize it really wasn't worth ending a life over.Gina @ My Precioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01895568426820464572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638248251377623290.post-81619291034641606762013-02-13T11:34:25.244-05:002013-02-13T11:34:25.244-05:00I think the powerful thing about this book is no m...I think the powerful thing about this book is no matter what we think about our words and actions, they can hurt other people. I also thought the way this book was written was interesting. I had never read something like this before with the tapes and all, so it draw me in more than it would have if it had been written in the traditional way.
