Journal Entry 2 by Haruka at USPS in -- Mailed, -- By post or by hand/ in person -- USA on Tuesday, November 26, 2002
I got this book from Haruka on Friday. I'm excited to read it! I'll make another entry when I'm finished with the book.
The way parts of this book are written make you wonder if it was really written by a teenager on drugs. The story is terrifying, and I think that people should read it because the drug accounts seem very realistic (at least from the viewpoint of someone like me who has never done them) and could scare you away from ever doing drugs. The problem I had with the book is that sometimes it would seem like the girl was writing like a 10 year old, while at other times, she would write like she was 17 or something.
I told my mom about this book, and she's going to read it and then have my little sister read it. We'll see what they think about it.

First of all, I'm not sure if I believe this is a real journal. At any rate, I found it disturbing. What upset me the most is how she really seemed to want to get out of the drug scene but the druggies just wouldn't leave her alone. The end of the book, and consequently her life, was so sad. I have different ideas on what might have happened. One being, she took her own life after returning to school and being continually harassed by the druggies again. I also thought they might have slipped her something again. Either way I was so saddened that she didn't get to continue in the direction it seemed her life was going. I was so touched by the family unity even in the roughest times. My heart was left broken for her family.
