| Batboy23 2005-02-26 ch 1, | Wow. I know so many people that have given up on high school. They have chosen to no longer take part in the social life of our school because they are sick of all the drama. I haven't myself but I can totally see y they did it (I don't know anyone that has gone as far as suicide though) I hate drama and I hate being a part of it. I am not going to lie and say that I have never caused any but when it does happen I completely hate it. Good story that I can relate to! |
| xburnxmyxeyesx 2005-01-28 ch 1, | This is great. It's really sad that people think suicide is the only way out sometimes. But it's also very sad that the only thing basically any teenager has on their mind is sex, clothing, cars and money. Man. I hate being a teenager. I like your author's note at the end. I like the quote you use throughout the story "It's **. Get over it." Very good. |
| mikeharm 2004-11-21 ch 1, | this story was great - the thing that drew me in so much was the part where her friend was losing patience with her for not being 'friendly' anymore - how is it that people never seem to understand that sometimes when we push them away, its for their own safety? you captured that feeling marvelously... well done!michael |
| Saharian 2004-10-02 ch 1, | Hey thanks for the review!! It really made my morning :-) Anyway I really liked this but since you ask for constructive critism I will give it ;-P Umm there weren't really very many things. You obviously looked it over before you posted it so there aren't very many grammatical and/or spelling errors. 1) "But Des." -> that should be "But Des-" Always use a dash when a conversation or sentence is being interuppted by someone else 2) Um why does it change from third person to narrative at the end?? It kind confused me. I don't know if it was intentional or not but it's there. 3) 'I picked up the orange medical bottle and put five in my mouth and downed a swig of whiskey.' That is a bit of a run-on sentence. It's not actually that long, really, it just seems like it because of the word 'and.' Also you might want to say 'five pills' because while I knew what you were referring to others may be confused at some point. All in all I really, really liked this. You're right, high school IS ** but it's ** everyone has to go through. Being a survivor of an attempted suicide, I know what I'm talking about. Don't let it get to you. There is always someone to talk to. Personally, I get all my anger and feelings out when I write. Like my poem, "Fear at School." Writing that, and then using it as a school project and being able to read it in front of a classroom and then watching the girls who hurt me start to cry before coming up and hugging me, was one of the best moments of my life. Never be afraid to just show your emotion. Wow that got kind of deep there *_* Lol. Anyway I know where you are coming from and this piece of writing portrays it well. And I love the picture part of it. I do not see myself as very good artist but I do draw a lot. I always incorporate words into my art, though, as Desi did. For me, it makes it more personal. But yeah this review is getting REALLY long, not that I think you mind, so I am going to go. Once again, thanks for reviewing my story and I hope to see more of your work! Saharian ^_^ |
| Sweet-Child03 2004-06-29 ch 1, | Terrific short story. One of my favorites. You've summed up exactly what I felt my whole freshmen year. I had to go with drama that was unnecessary. All drama is unnecessary, but eventually we need to move on. Thank-you for writing such a story that makes a big impact. |
