Quotes
...she thought about commiting suicide when commercials came on during tv.

I guess I'm pretty emotional.

I couldn't believe what was happening to me. Or what breasts felt like. Or later, how difficult bras are.

I walk around the school hallways and look at people. I look at the teachers and wonder why they're here. If they like their jobs. Or us. And I wonder how smart they were when they were fifteen. Not in a mean way. In a curious way. It's like looking at all the students and wondering who's had their heart broken that day, and how they are able to cope with having three quizzes and a book report on top of that. Or wondering who did the heart breaking. And wondering why. Especially since I know that if they went to another school, the person who had their heart broken would have had their heart broken by somebody else, so why does it all have to be so personal?

It's hard to see a friend hurt so much. Especially when you can't do anything besides "be there."

I really am a roller coaster sometimes.

Even if somebody else has it much worse, that doesn't really change the fact that you have what you have

Review
Everyone must read this book. If you think you don't apply to everyone, that you're too good to read this book, then you're wrong. You should especially read this book if you are still in high school.

It's about this kid who's really depressed. Not depressed like some people are depressed in which they are always mopey, this kid is really depressed. It's written in the form of letters to you, the reader.

At some points it's almost scary how real it is. The author just writes it so well. I know a lot of people who have read this book, and I don't know any who haven't been totally moved by it. Maybe i'll let you borrow my copy.
