Title: Reviving Ophelia
Product review: I am an education student who is attending Macon State College. I read this book as part of a class assignment. Here are my thoughts. As a whole I was not very impressed with this book. I found it hard to read especially since it is really not the type of book that I am used to reading. I also find it hard to believe that girls are losing their "true selves" during adolesence. I always thought they were trying to find their "true selves." I never felt that I lost my true self during adolesence. I did not encounter any huge hardships growing up so I could not relate to the girls in this book with their problems of durgs and teenage pregnancy etc. I do agree that something has gone wrong in society that has caused girls and boys to use behavior that is inappropriate. Or things that have caused them to want to experiment more with drugs, sex, etc. I just don't know that I agree that the problem stems from them losing their "true selves."
