Doing It by Melvin Burgess

Dear Melvin Burgess,
I read your book Doing it and i really learned a lot from it. it really does identify how some peoples high school life can be. It points out some problems teenagers how to face. Like Jackie had to face with Dino pressuring her to have sex with him. I can't imagine how she felt especially how she felt when Dino cheated on Jackie with Zoe. I learned that life can have a lot of pressures but you need to learn how to handle them and not do them without thinking. Sometimes what you think you want isn't what you really wanted at all. My view of life for now is to wait for things to happen and not rush them. Also that sometimes its better to listen to your friends then to do what you want. For example, when Jackie broke up with her other boyfriend to go out with Dino. It wasn't right to do that because Dino ended up cheating on her. So your never suppose to leave the one you love for the one you like because the one you like will leave you for the one they love. I think move people should read this book because it can really influence there life with how some boys can pressure you into doing things your not ready for. It also shows how some guys think about sex and how that's all they think about. Just like Dino,Ben,and Jon. That's all they wanted and thought about. At times some can maybe relate to this book because it shows you some points of the reality of life and what some girls have to go through.
-Sincerely,Wendy Cardenas.
