Summary:
“On The Game” is a booked based on a true
story, about teen prostitution. It starts with a fifteen year old girl
named Yolande. She lost her father when she was young and now lives as
an only child with her mother. Seeking the attention from a man, she
starts to date a guy called Etienne. He is 21, and lives a very dark
life. As Yolande starts to become more “involved” with Etienne and his
life, and he starts asking her to do favours for him. She is then forced
into being a part of his prostitution business. After many late nights
at the club, at parties and with clients it all comes to an end.
This is relatable to teens because teenagers can be forced into situations they don’t want to be in.
