When Kim can't handle things, she eats. Then she purges. Sometimes she fasts. She knows she isn't as thin as the other girls on her gymnastics team, and she's worried that now, away from home for the first time as a college freshman, she won't be able to live up to expectations -- especially her own. Eating is the one thing she can control -- or can she?
Beatrice Sparks Ordre des livres (chronologique)
Beatrice Sparks était une auteure américaine connue pour ses livres présentés comme les 'véritables journaux intimes' d'adolescents en difficulté. Ces ouvrages abordent des sujets d'actualité tels que la toxicomanie, le satanisme, les grossesses adolescentes ou le SIDA, servant de récits de mise en garde. Sparks se présentait comme la découvreuse et l'éditrice de ces journaux intimes, bien que les archives indiquent qu'elle en était l'unique auteure. Poussée par ses expériences auprès des adolescents, elle visait à créer des récits qui mettraient en garde d'autres jeunes contre la chute dans des pièges similaires.





L'herbe Bleue
Journal d'une jeune fille de 15 ans
L'herbe bleue est le journal intime d'une jeune droguée de quinze ans.Cet ouvrage ne prétend pas décrire le monde de la drogue chez les jeunes. Il n'apporte aucune solution à ce problème. C'est une chronique personnelle, spécifique, qui, en tant que telle, permettra peut-être de comprendre un peu l'univers de plus en plus compliqué dans lequel nous vivons. Les noms, les dates, les lieux et certains événements ont été changés, selon le désir de toutes les personnes mêlées à ce récit.

Who in his right mind wants to talk to a shrink? I don't want to talk about anything. I don't want to feel anything, taste anything ... or anything. The lyrics "just dying to die" run around in my brain day and night... Fifteen-year-old Sam is in pain.

He is being drawn deeper and deeper into a black hole of despair from which he sees no way out. The Road Back This is the Real-life story of Sam's Recovery, told from tapes of his therapy sessions. It tells what drove him to leave home, how he survived on the street, and why he was desperate to escape from the brutality of the gang that had become his "family" and from the torment of his own self-loathing. For every teen who has experienced the pain and loneliness of a no-way-out darkness, and for all those who love them, here is the light that can lead the way back.
