I just finished reading 19 minutes by Jodi Piccoult and it truly was a startling read. It left me feeling a combination of the weirdest feelings. It left me feeling lost, in disbelief, wondering, empty, trapped, and speechless.
I am not going to give a synopsis of the book. If you are interested, you can check it out. I will share what questions it made me ask myself when I finished it.
I wondered if bullying was really such a common thing in American schools.
I wondered if a typical American school really does have such stereotypical groups of people i.e jocks, nerd, cheerleaders, geeks etc.
I wondered how much would someone give to be accepted by his/her peers.
I wondered how much would one do or sacrifice to be part of the popular kids in school.
I wondered which group I would have been a part of if fate had it for me to grow up in USA.
I wondered if I would have been part of the geeks, the cheerleaders or the popular bitchy ones
because I think I can fit into all of the above.
I wondered if I would have lost my virginity at the age of 15 if I grew up in USA and not have given love as much respect as I do now.
I wondered how many boyfriends I would have had by the time I turned 22.
I wondered if I would have had any abortion. I wondered if my parents would have been divorced.
I wondered if I would have loved the way I did. If I would have given the way I did.
I wondered if I would have turned a completely different person.
I am glad I had Him to help me the make the choices I made.
