| I find the book to be very inspirational. Teenagers need these kinds of books to give them encouragement and hope. There is nothing out there for you if you do not have an education. Like my mom would say, sex can wait; educate yourself first, then you can pick, choose, and refuse any wo/man you want. Congratulation Jackie, on a job well done. |
