There used to be a website that had chatrooms and one time I met a teenage boy whose story was just like Jared's story, because he too was adopted as a teenager and had a son himself. This real life story happened in 2010-the same year that this one was being written. I didn't think to send him the link to Rebel With A Reason, but his story is just like this one. Let's say this teenage boy I met was the real life Jared White.

OMG! This story just made my heart shatter, go back back to its original form and then shatter again. I'm crying!

Amazing!

Loved it! A wonderful, believable story! So well written.

i really loved this story...jared is such a good daddy despite what he went through...and melinda is so cute...i really hate Kevin,he is the worst...i really like the way you write and i believe this is a story worth reading...

Good job doing this story. Damn good job.

The Devil's Angel, definately.

*Applause!* I love it! I'm going to read the sequel! I'm so glad Jared grew up and healed.

Jared, Jared, Jared. Dude, you can't be doing this; what about when you're 18? How are you going to feed and clothe your daughter if you're spending all your money on cocaine?

No, he's being stupid. My aunt was involved with this stuff, and my mom and nana learned the hard way that the only way to help these people is to get them into rehab. I understand he doesn't want it on Jared's record, but if it was my kid, I'd rather have him clean with a record than six feet underground in a box because he overdosed.

Ugh. Jared, you idiot. He ought to tell someone. Alyssa or one of her parents. About the cocaine. He was doing so good. It makes me really sad to see that he fell off the wagon. If he isn't careful, he's going to lose Alyssa. And the cocaine will kill him. I know what that stuff does, it made my aunt flatline for a second.

I read your other story directions? It was great and well, no serprise and the 1st chapter to this one is great :) I would keep reading but, there are like 70ish chapters. But, I shall read tomorrow and give you reviews on each one :)

This is a good story(: i am going to read this!

I absolutey loved this...once I started reading it was hard for me to stop. Great job. I would like to read story 3

Love it
