Revised Reading Response

I recently just finished a book called Crank by Ellen Hopkins. The main character Kristina, faces a lot of issues and terrible situations that kind of ruins her life. Some of the issues and situations that happen to her are social issues in the world. Some social issues that happen around the world, are really tragic and I like to know more about.

One issue that happens in the book and is a social issue would be, teen pregnancy. Towards the end Kristina becomes pregnant and remember Kristina is only sixteen-years-old. Teen pregnancy happens all around the world and is big social issue. In my opinion I think that, teens wouldn't get pregnant if there parents would look after them. If a parent lets their daughter or son do what ever they want, come home when ever they want. Well of course a teen will take advantage of that and do what ever they want, what teen wouldn't ? Here's an example of Kristina, her father allowed her to do what ever she wanted to and hang out with who ever she wanted to. So since she had the right to do what ever she wanted to do, she had sex with boys and did drugs. This would have never happened if her father knew what his daughter was doing. Kristina is kind of following her father's footsteps.


Another  social issue would be drugs, drugs are a very big issue lately in the world. Many teens have been doing drugs either just for fun or to fit in, they're following their parents footstep. There are a lot reasons why teens could be doing drugs. Like I said in the previous paragraph, if the child's parent does not know what their child is doing, and give them a lot of freedom. Their child will take advantage of that freedom and do inappropriate things. Kristina started to do drugs in the beginning of the book with this boy she met. Even before meeting this boy she use to smoke.She once found her father in the store buying drugs. 

These are the most biggest issues in the book Crank. These are some major social issues around the world. These types of topics can be solved and cant be solved. Some kids might want to change and they might have learned from there mistakes. Some might still be the same and not change at all. Those were some social issue that I like to know more about.
