Nineteen Minutes

I've recently been reading a book called "Nineteen Minutes." This book has really showed me how much teasing someone can really affect someone's life. Without giving away the ending, this book is how teasing someone was pushed to the extreme and many were killed. A boy was teased so much at school for years upon years. This boy never stood up for himself not once. Right in the beginning we come to find that this boy is fed up with everything and he brings a gun to school. Like I said before I'm not going to give too much information out just so I do not ruin it for everyone. 

This book really showed me how teasing can really hurt someone. This boy didn't even want to go to school because of all this teasing. It helped me look back into my high school days and realize all the kids who got teased, and I never once said anything to anyone. I usually just ignored it or and sometimes I even laughed. I feel bad right now just thinking about it. I really recommend this book to anyone. It is a great book and really shows a lot of life lessons throughout it as well.

I will definatley have to check out this book. Sounds like a good book to read even though it has very serious theme.

Maybe you should think about this stuff when I come into Math with 2 waters. Joking that I am thirsty and trying to make the class laugh at me. It is really taking a toll on me and makes me burn inside when you say it. So think about your book from now on when you want to make comments about how much water I drink.
