In the book Go ask Alice , by Grace Slick, the main character Alice had suffered in a way that forced her to escape from her home to avoid her family. She was in too much trouble. She was on drugs and her parents did not know anything but they had a notion that she was hiding a secret from them.
In the book, Alice was into drugs and was trying to stop using drugs when she was 14 and 15 years old. On the day that she want to a party she was raped. The day she first tried marajuana at a party there was also drugs in her drink and she did not know until the next day when her best friend told her what happened. She kept the secret and she never told her parents that she had tried drugs. Before Alice ran away from home she was wondering what it would be like to smoke a joint. After that she began to like it and she began become addicted to drugs. That was the time her parents noticed there was something going on with Alice Anonymous.
Alice's best friend helped her and got her things that she needed. For example she helped her get a job, a house and things that would make her stop thinking about drugs and stop her from using drugs. In the end, Alice came back home clean and didn't have any more trouble with drugs. Alice and her mother began to solve all the problems she had been through and they made a promise to each other that if she has any problems, they would talk about them. .
The part I disliked about the book was when she was raped and what people made her go through. People kept telling her to try the drugs and when she went to school people tried to sell it to her. Some of the other kids using drugs tried to blame everything on Alice to get her in trouble so she would get kicked out of school. The part that hurt is when she couldn't tell her mother how school was when she would come home from school crying and suffering.
I am interested in this book because it showed me what my family went through when they were teenagers and other people I know too who had trouble using drugs.
