* what is the major theme of this novel? why is this theme important to a teenager living in 2007?

The theme of this novel, is I think about your environment, and if youre not comfortable with it, then you should represent. That is important to teenagers in 2007, because there are many bad influences like drinking, smoking, drugs, and general prejudism. Many people are surrounded by these influences and simply give in, even though they know that it is wrong. Clothing, grades, cursing, pornography, and general bad attitude are also influences in teenage life. This is one the biggest current day issues. Teenagers break the rules, because of people who are around them, and they grew up to not succeed financially in life, or end up becoming convicts or go to jail. There are a small percentage of teenagers who stand up for what they like or believe, like girls who wont wear Abercrombie or Hollister, but where less brand name clothes because theyre more comfortable.
