Q: Did certain parts of the book make you uncomfortable? If
so, why did you feel that way? Did this lead to a new understanding or awareness?
A: Yes a lot of the book made me feel very uncomfortable. It
was based on a true story about teen prostitution in Montreal. Yolande is a 15
year girl who gets forced into the world of drugs, drinking and worst of all prostitution.
Considering she is around the same age as me it really hit me hard. It made me
realize that things like this really do happen, to girls my age and even where I
live. You really have to be careful with who you are talking to and hanging out
with because you never really know a person until they show there true colours.
In the case, Yolande thought she was dating a nice guy and he turned out to be
using her for his prostitution business. This book really makes you think how
lucky you are to be as sheltered as some of us are. It’s hard to think that
girls so young could end up in the situation Yolande did. I am so blessed to
have been instilled with lessons like not talking to strangers or how not to
get myself in bad situations. It made me think to always be aware and to never be scared to say no.
