This book actually made me cry, and that is a first as far as i can remember. i usually laugh or roll my eyes at books, but this book is so deep on real human experiences and emotions. It is not a light topic, but highly controversial. It also confirms my personal stance on abortion, and i have to admit i normally feel good about being right though this book makes me more sad about reality.


This book is very sad, but very truthful. Many people- especially teens confuse sex with love, but sex has truly never been exclusive to love. This doesn't detail everything in her life, but it details enough to show the real struggles that many humans face daily. This book seems to be a reminder- a reminder that humans judge too much, and that we do not help other people enough- instead we hurt and damage each-other more than anything.


It can be hard to see the whole picture- especially when we judge our fellow humans. We do not fully know another person's story, but we know our own(or should) and of course it seems to me that it is human nature to judge and not even try to understand the unknown(especially in such cases).


We hurt others, and get hurt ourselves. This seems to be a big part of life, but pain does not need to be our whole life. Everyone has their own pains to heal, and scars to remind them of their past. There however is much more to life.

To me abortion is- and always will be murder, but it is not up to me to do the forgiving of the people who force or choose. i do not condone it, but that is all i can do besides voice my views. i cannot change the evil of the world, but i can choose to stand for whatever i know or believe to be right.


Words can cause more evil or good events in the world...
Doing wrong on any scale can be impossible to recognize for humans, but sometimes it can be just as hard to see the good we do as well.


"Debbie'' is no different than any other person; and what do i mean by that? We are all human, and we bleed the same, we all hurt, and have to heal from different things, we experience a lot of things differently- but we are simply only human. We are flesh, blood, and bone-


i do not sympathize, but i acknowledge she was taught wrong- and it took her many years before she learned the truth. Sadly it took more deaths before the truth came to full light. Deep down she had some idea of the truth, but was always told something different by people who should have known and told the truth.


In reality strangers do not always have our best interests at heart, and this world will always have cruel and selfish people around every corner. This world will NEVER be a 100% bright and happy place for all. This is not to say that we should all curl up in a corner and die, but we all here have a right to live- sadly an uncounted number didn't have the chance, and more everyday are denied what we take for granted every day! Many humans even take for granted this very thing, and enjoy making misery or death for others(am talking about more than abortion here in this single statement).


You do not have to agree with me, and you didn't have to read this.... i will not reply to any negative responses, but you have your right to react in any way you like.
