Forget Me Not Book
I fell in love with a boy a long time ago. Everlasting summer mods. I was only a small girl. Scared and frightened, I was taken from my home and held against my will. His father hurt me, but he protected me and kept me safe as best he could. Until I left him.

Being a teenager these days is hard and peers tend to be so cruel and heartless. No one thinks about the consequences of their behaviour might affect or maybe they want to break a person and see them suffer. If you are bullied, remember you are not alone. If you feel like you have no one to turn too, there are always support groups all over the world.Some useful websites:This review is NOT a review (because I can’t think anything to say) but a way for me to help someone who is going through a rough patch. No matter how bad you feel there is always hope and you are not going to have those problems forever.

After a half-naked picture of herself is texted around her high school, Ally tries to kill herself. Now, she's kind of trapped in a reportedly haunted back hallway (hard to describe). The only person who can see her is her friend Elijah, who tries to convince her to choose life and leave the semi-purgatory she's in.This is told in verse, which I'm becoming a huge fan of thanks to Ellen Hopkins and Lisa Schroeder.

This novel will probably appeal to fans of If I Stay, although I didn't find Forget Me Not as emotionally wrenching as that one. (This is not to say that Forget Me Not isn't hard to read, because it is.)The thing that struck me the most, however, is basically a throwaway line in the book-the general gist is that only a handful of people really create the drama in high school and the rest of the people just ignore it as best they can. It's so true and yet it doesn't feel that way at all when you're in high school.I also know that it's very easy for people who aren't in high school to say 'Oh, it's only four years,' because when you're in the middle of it, four years is a very, very long time. Especially when it seems like literally everyone you know has seen you naked (well, topless) and has taken a poll about it. (Yes, I seriously wanted to cry for poor Ally.)This isn't an easy book to read, but it's definitely worth it.
