Topic > Diary entries in the book "Go ask Alice" - 1003

When I finished reading the book I was amazed because no one had ever told me about how some teenagers struggle with drugs, alcohol and violence sexual. I knew they existed and that it was a problem, but I didn't know all the negative outcomes.

When it comes to sexual abuse you don't have to be a rapist to abuse and the person doesn't have to be a rapist to abuse you. If you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol you are no longer yourself. The next day you may not even remember anything. This is what most young adults don't understand.
