journal #8 Ophelia Speaks

My novel that I am reading is called Ophelia Speaks. This book TOTALLY relates to the coming of age process. Ophelia Speaks mainly points out to girls through the age of 12-18. Ophelia Speaks talks about many categories girls struggle and go through today such as: Eating disorders, sex, peer pressure, family, school, and friends. Each of these categories have different stories from teenage girls that have submitted their story. This novel talks about how hard it is to grow up when you are a girl and the struggles and pressure you face.
