Dear Vanessa G
I think that something is really wrong with Alice why don’t know what going on in that thing she call head maybe she don’t have one at all. How can’t you don’t know what happening in your life how can you run away from school and leave your mom don’t you that she everything that you need in this life
dear jenny,
I agree with you ,those people are not what you call friends. Friends don’t let you make bad choices. I think your advice was good. GOOD JOB!!
SINCERELY KRIS GIVENS
Dear, Lance
I agree with you she was a good girl .I do agree with you about all kids try drugs but she had no reason to start doing all of these drugs and get hooked on them
1) Alice I think you should be ashamed for even thinking you could be elated over this. I think you should be reporting those kids for drugging you. I don’t think you should have anything to do with kids like that, I mean are you insane! If you are going to hang out with people like that then I don’t think I can be friends with someone who is on drugs or associate. Not that I would ever do drugs or encourage drugs but the way you felt on drugs in unfortunately the best I’ve heard you feel in a long time, that’s sad alive very sad. I don’t think bill is a good guy for you at all. I feel you could do so much more with your life so Alice please get of the drugs. I don’t know if I should feel sorry for you, try to help you, or yell at you. For one you need to grow the “fudge” up. Also I can help you, I can help you report them and to not fall into the addiction before it’s too late. That’s all I have to Alice, bye.
2) I feel that what she does is wrong, but her attitude is good towards it. I think Alice knows that taking drugs is wrong but, that in her head she thinks that she’s strong enough not to do drugs. I feel that the way she described how she felt when the feeling the drugs reaction was very detailed and that she made it a little too positive for my liking or for any ones liking that is against drugs, like me. I know from what Alice has said that she is not strong enough to not continue to drugs, and really does not want to stop or resist either. I don’t feel this connects to me at all, I’m stronger then her. I wonder if maybe she wants to be dead. I hope she can change her life but I don’t think she will.
I don’t think you should have gone to that party because drugs led to many things. Like addiction & and death and you don’t want that. So stay positive and everything will be alright.
Dear kirsg, You are so right she did good leaving roger.But she tryes to get her life on track and other people mess it up for her. per presser sucks..
Dear Nathana B.I think the same thing.she is old enough to no drugs are bad.I mean she is not a kid.she needs to be a good influnince onhe little siblings. kids look up to her even if she don't no it.
Dear Al’lysha,
I think that your letter to Alice was a great word of advice and I think it really will helped her out and made her realized what she was doing or what she got her self into. You made a point to her that if she kept doing that then she would lose a good close friend an wont get it back. That was a really brave an hard thing to say to a bet friend.

Marla baybeee,
I like your comment to Al’lysha….mad perfect since.=)
Dear Jairus,
Hey Jairus I like your ideas and the way you expressed your feelings but your making it seem as if Alice took the drugs and she knew that she took them. This was all new to her when she was at Jill’s house. And the reason why she didn’t tell her parents and the rest of her family is because it was her first time doing it and she felt as if she wasn’t going to do it again. The reason why she didn’t know she was high was because she never did drug and this was her first time and she never knew how it felt. I think the only reason she went to Jill’s house for the party was because it seemed as if she was kind and plus she didn’t see her friends for a couple of months.
P.S. I like the part when you said “FYI you got the button.” Great job!
