Lush by Natasha Friend.
Poor child. Such a beautiful girl.(I would assume). but such a horrible home life.
Her father is a alcoholic. A drunk. Not the kind of drunk you can look over and ignore either. Like the kind that is always in your face with breath that can burn the hair right off your eyebrows! Smelly breath that makes your eyes water and your nose tingle.
How is a kid to deal with a drunk father and a mother who does not see the problem or refuses to see the problem . Also a younger brother who needs attention and cannot get it from his emotionally absent parents.
OH.. I know.. WRITE NOTES!! yes..this young girl decides to write notes to a "girl" she knows nothing about and she tells this kid all her problems. Every little thing that goes on is written down in notes.. hmmm.. makes for an interesting story...some conversations... maybe some. confrontation..:]]
A couple of guys thrown in and BAM! Another great story by Natasha Friend.
Good book.. happy...sad..excited..mad.. so many emotions in such a short book.
READ IT.

To perfect my world...
To perfect the world....wow...that is surely a task.
1.) No one can hurt anyone physically. No war.
This means no hitting, pinching, punching, slapping, or biting (for the little ones). No hair pulling, no scratching, and no Indian burns. No one can harm another person unless you are their parent( which has a whole other list of guidelines).
2.) Music will be limited for every age level.
Ages o-6 years-Playhouse Disney music
Ages 6-12 years- Bubble gum pop
Ages 12-15 years- Disney music and country music and bubble gum pop
Ages 15 and on- Unlimited choices
3.) Every family must put in a request to have children. They must take a parent aptitude test.( PAT).
It is no good when I see unfit parents...I just wanna yell at them and run away with their kids. In my perfect world no one will see unfit parents because they have to pass a series of grueling tests...
4.) No one will die before the age of 67.
It is just so heartbreaking to hear of a child dying before they can enjoy their life or for a teenager to die in the prime of their life. In my perfect world no one will die before their 67 years has passed.
5.) Let it out!!!
There will be allotted time in schools for children to let out their frustrations or happiness. School have much less drama if there was a period in which they could yell and scream and fight all they wanted (just no hitting). The children could confront their problems head on with conversation and for the teacher and onlookers enjoyment, maybe confrontation, BUT NO HITTING. That is the very first rule. No violence.
There is a three times your out rule..
First discrepancy-Warning
Second discrepancy-A firm talking to
Third discrepancy- YOUR OUT. your being released...
Now I know what your thinking. "Child,this is NOT going to help the world. It is just going to make it creepy and controlling."
But I say to you. How else can we make the world perfect other than controlling everyone and creeping them out to a point that they will obey?
