I know people who survived actual sex drugs and rock and roll in high school to become decent citizens; however, I am with you on the fact that it doesn't happen so often. I agree that many kids are all talk and that others talk more than they actually act, but I wouldn't discount it altogether.

I . . . really don't want to read this book now because I know I will be just as disgusted and heartbroken as you by an ending like that.
