every teen should read
I like this book so far and i do know kids like this that use ritilin and atterol just to use it. I lost one of my best friends cause he was crushing up these meds and snorting them like coke. i have not done that but i have taken oxycodone just to feel good. but it made me sick cause kept doing it and i had to end up taking 9 1/2 of them just to feel good because my body got used to them and i had to be rushed to the hospital. so i do believe that all teens that want to take drugs should should read this and think of the consequences.

good book
I loved this book. especially the ending when she doesn't throw the two riralin pills in the toilet. Whic means she has not fully left her high school habit behind.

Hits the real issues facing teens
This book talks about the real world. Kids at my highschool are addicts and it was helpful to me and my friends to read this. it was totally appropriate, because it's what actually is going on.

A Lesson for Adults
Even though the main character does drugs like Ritalin it proves a point. The girl is so stressed that she has to be perfect she goes over the breaking point and starts taking drugs. The moral don't push your kids to be the perfect child.

so real.
this book, in my opinion, was one of the best books i've read in a while. it was extremely realistic, that is actually how kids find Rx drugs in today's society. There is a lot in this world that parents don't get about our generation. There is no way we could explain it to make sense, but this book would probably help build a few bricks to bridge the gap. I strongly suggest to read it.

An honest book with an important message
This book was a great portrail of perscription drugs in high school. One reason I loved it so much was because it was honest and didn't pretend to be something it wasn't. Yes there was language some parents wouldn't approve of but its the same language you hear every day at a public high school. Rx was all around a good read, it was intertaining and had a good message. Parents: Don't consider this a book that will give your children ideas about doing drugs, while the language and story line aren't necessarly something you would enjoy, it is understood by teens and teaches a valuable lesson. I loved this book and hope others will read it too.

excellent
I loved this book! This explains alot about teenage life and the ups and downs, the need to fit in and be a part of high school life. So many of the characters remind me of me and my friends.

I read this book awhile ago but I can still remember it. It gives a real look into high schools these days and how teens find prescription drugs to be "safer" than the illegal ones. I suggest parents read it more than kids to ge ta look into modern high school.

Great book , teaches the harshness of drugs
The book has a great story line and a lot of interesting twists. There is some inapproraite parts though including a complicated teen pregnancy, drug abuse and drinking. There is no details on any of those things though. I woudl recommend the book to teens so that they can see what is really out there and how it can impair you and ruin your life. Unfortunately the book does not have a happy ending but that is actually good thing in teaching the lesson to teens. HIghly recommended.
