Title: Go Ask Alice is NOT a real diary
Product review: Go Ask Alice is not the diary of a real-life teen.Instead, it is ham-handed propaganda; a highly-fictionalized conglomeration of case studies ("editor" Dr. Beatrice Sparks was one of the writers who worked on it). Additionally, _Alice_ is poorly written, with attempts at "groovy" teen slang and "relevant" issues that were laughable even back when it was first published, in 1971.If the ugly truth about drugs like speed and heroin isn't enough to keep kids off of them, then I don't think that lying will be any help.
