My friend recommended me this book and I really liked it. However, the sexual abuse horrified me. How could teenagers abuse their fellow teenagers that way? And how can your friend run away from a fight? 
 This made me torn and made me think about what I'd do. Would I do the same and just run away and let a group have their way with my friend? On the pro side of running, nothing will happen to me. On the con side of running, I'd relive that moment like the main character over and over. I don't think I could run but since I wasn't thrown into that situation, I can't know what I'd really do. 
 It makes me really wonder about what happens in other places. The horrible aspects horrify me.
