"Teens Write Through It" Pg. 123- 137

On the first story I read, I know how the girl feels. I know its hard to walk away especially from a guy. I think she made the best decision on walking away. The other two stories are very similar to each other. The first one i can realate to a little not really but the moving part to be with my mom i went through. The second one i also had problems too with changing schools. It is very hard and i bet more hard not speaking english.

"Teens Write Though It" Pg. 104 -122

The part I think is sad because I noticed a lot of teens feel lonely and no one is there for them. I can relate to that. But a lot of them find a way, not all but some. I think that going to a mental health wouldn't really work, they need people to help them show them that their there and always will be, Like family. I noticed a lot of teens also think stopping depression is cutting their wrists or suicide. I don't know what to say about that because i never think that way but it is understandable. The second part i definitely relate to moving, i moved probably about 9 times so far. Its very hard especially the school part. The "meeting new people". A lot of teens in here that i read so far still don't like where they moved.

"Teens Write Though It" Pg. 83 -103

On the first part I read, I know how exactly how that person felt. I really can relate myself to her. Not fully, I never cried. The Second part of the section about immigrants I never really experienced it but I can understand what they're going through since most my family is also an immigrant. I bet it was really hard on them going through that and having to start with a new life. The last part I read is also understandable a lot of teens go through depression. Teachers in my middle school though I was. I think the hardest part of life is when we are all teens.

"Teens Write Though It" Pg.51 - 82

From reading about the family problems, I understand what they're going through because I went through the same thing. People do go through the struggle of divorce but I think its better if they're not together because it can just make people's lives way worse. The other part with "Body Image", I also know how that is and I still haven't over come it, but I know I will soon. I think the people I read in the book are actually worse because I don't have anorexia or problem with being short but I do have low self esteem. I couldn't imagine what it was like being them, and how strong they had to be to over come what they did. But it tells me I can do it if they good and keep my self esteem high.

"Teens Write Through It" Pg. 36-50

From the first two stories I think is very sad, I couldn't imagine the pain they went through. Knowing I was dying and no one can do anything about it would be th worst feeling someone can ever have. The Racism part is really rude, it makes you realize what this world has come to and how people over react on stuff just because of a color of skin.
