Talking to kids about drug use is probably one of the hardest subjects a parent can breach. Let's face it, they don't want to talk about it, and it's not exactly something that parents want to discuss, but it's a necessity in this day and age nonetheless. Personally, no book had a bigger effect on my decision to partake in any exploratory drug use wisely than Go Ask Alice.
It's a true story told by an anonymous girl who spirals down into oblivion. She experiments with drugs, sex, and loses all semblance of her life. It's not preachy or unrealistic, in fact, it's a real diary from a real girl who experienced it all. This is one that is absolutely not to be missed and not to be glossed over. Read it with your kids, read it with your parents, just read it.
Happy Reading,
Julia
