Go Ask Alice by Anonymous
I read this a million and a half years ago when I was about 12 or 13
and I think the impact was lost on me because this time around I was
blown away.
In case you aren't familiar with it, Go Ask Alice is a young girls diary that is a raw documentation of her spiral into the world of hard drugs and addiction.
She
is not quite 15 at the start of her story. Her words are sweet and open
and raw and heartbreaking. Once she falls into the underbelly of her
life she is startlingly blunt and it's quite painful. She wants to
embrace the family that loves her so and wants nothing more than to help
her and she doesn't actually like what she is doing but is unable to
stop.
