My group is reading a novel called Rx written by Tracy Lynn. It's about a student who is doing really well in school and is taking Ritalin ( an ADHD drug ) to help her study and stay focused. She isn't even diagnosed with ADHD but she feels this drug will help her. She goes to parties with she stoner friend, and the pretty girl. Soon she starts dealing persrciption drugs.
She has a flipped personality. With her parents she is a very good child who studies a lot, but around her friends she is a party goer and drinks. This is what my group discussion revolved around.
We talked about Schizophrenia, and being Bipolar. Me and my group were thinking that maybe Thyme ( main character ) had Schizophrenia or she may be Bipolar. But the more we talked the better we understood that maybe she acted this way because she doesn't want to show her parents what she is like with her friends, or maybe she is trying to please everyone by partying withe her partying friends and be the smart child for her parents. And eventualy selling and trading drugs for others.
