federal government bailout
Go Ask Alice by Anonymous, She’s Come Undone by Wally Lamb, Prozac Nation by Elizabeth Wurtzell
^Good options. The first one is a real diary and the last is an autobiography.
(to the person below: I don’t think the teens in Catcher in the Rye and To Kill a Mockingbird aren’t troubled in the drugs, sex and alcohol sense. Holden Caulfield from CITR is just disoriented and without direction and no one in TKAM is a teen with a drugs, sex and alcohol problem…)
To Kill A Mocking Bird and Catcher In The Rye.
You can’t go wrong with these books.
