As of today teenagers don’t realize the concsiquences for their actions. They can either be positive or negative based on what the situation. Just like Kristina in the book Crank, she didn’t realize by snorting her first line of cocain she would be automatically addicted and her life would not be the same ever again. This is the one thing that bothers me that most is when people have no idea what they are getting theirselves into. It can really be devestating. Just for the fact of knowing how much potiental that certain person really has and they are throwing it all away by making idiotic choices that they think is a one time thing that they will never try again, until they cant seem to put it down. Drugs and alcohol is an on going issue around the world especially in teens due to try to be “cool” or in a certain click. It is heart wrenching to watch, Especially how Kristina (Bree) went down hill so fast, and she doesn’t know if she will ever be on track again. As of last week I lost a friend in a traffic accident that involved alcohol. No one ever seen that coming because we tend to think that we are unbreakable. Well that definitly proved to me that, that isnt the case anymore. I just think that people really need to realize the consiquiences of their actions.
I thought it was heartbreaking, too. When we're young (and even when we're old) we make decisions based on the moment without thinking about the long-term effects. What do you think set Kristina up for failure (beyond her awful father)? Why was she searching?
