1) right now in one of the many short memiors, a young girl who had a life that was good until her mom just disapearred only leaving a small note behind. she looked like a normal teenage but on the inside she was hurting really badly and she couldnt take it. so she would cut her hands and wrists. she only did this because it made the pain in side her go away. since the only way she could get her emotions out was to cut, she did. until it got out of control and she almost died. since she didnt like to share what she was feeling she wouldnt talk to anyone because she didnt really have anyone. her dad finally notice the scars and took her to get help.

2) I really enjoy reading this books, i like to read about real life stories and truthful stories that girols and boys go through. i know this mught be sad to say but i like reading about the sad stoires that have happened to many people in these stories. its shows me that i take my life for granted and i should just be happy because there a plenty of girls who's life may be worse. i also like readding them because some of them are heart touching when you read them.

3) A theme i have noticed in some of the many stories i have read is courage. In many of the stories kids have faced sickness and even life changing momments. in once story a boy got sick with a virus and he had to have his legs and arms amputated which was hard for him to deal with because he was a hockey player. With out this courage he wouldnt of been able to sirvive and would of died, also with out this courage he wouldnt of been able to learn to walk again.

4) My favorite character of these stories would be the characters that help out one another. In one story the i remember reading a girl got into drugs because she felt that no one liked her and no one was there for her. this girl was a loyal freind because through out her drug problem the girl stood by herside until she quit. these are the kind of people i think are good people thats why i like them.

5) my least favorite character are the bad people. in once story a drunk driver kill this ladys daughter. the daughter happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. i dont like these people because they could totaly have prevented this.

6) i think maybe a next story i will read will be sad because i have just reached the catogory of tough stuff which may indicate that something bad will happen.
