Crank for Middle School?

   I finished reading Crank by Ellen Hopkins. I thought it was an excellent book. While reading the book my teacher asked me a question, do you think this book is appropriate for middle school students? I have formed an conclusion, yes.
   I think that this book is in fact appropriate for middle school students. I don't see the bad in it, it actually shows you all the horrific things that come of crank. So it's making you aware of the consequences that come from crank. Kristina ruined her whole life. She ruined her family relationship, the people in her family and her academics. This all went down hill because of crank. This book opens your eyes to things that are out in the world that sometimes we are not aware of. When you read this book you say "wow, i am never ever going to try crank."Crank makes you do things you would never dream of doing. Due to drugs Kristina cursed at her mother, lowered her school grades, skipped classes, got pregnant, and hurt her family. When you look at all of this you know that this book tells you never do this drug unless you want to end up like Kristina. So yes this book in my opinion is appropriate for middle school students.
   In conclusion, i think that this book is appropriate for middle school students. It does not encourage anything. It shows that path you life goes if you try crank. I think it would actually be good for middle school students top read this so that they never make the mistake of doing drugs ever in their life. After all you only live once, why would you take that away with a drug?
