Your typical “what not to do� warning story.
I honestly don't know if it's necessary to say more, but I'll try. This is yet another poorly-researched book that doesn't try to be anything more than an issues book. It shows some teenagers who have done something wrong, sensationalizes that bad thing, and tells you not to do that thing.
Never does it try for character work, development, or even a sensible plot. The main character is unforgivably flat. In such a book, we need to see why the main character is cutting. What about the protagonist led her to this fate? Frankly, without development, this book veers on the side of offensive drivel.
