someone to love me

Someone to Love Me "Cindy's hands trembled as she set the clown back down. Someday when she knew for sure that her mother did not love her, she would smash it. All that kept her from hurling the clown onto the floor was the fading hope that Mom still cared about her. Would she be happier without me? Cindy asked herself." Cindy is a girl in the book Someone to Love Me by Anne Schraff (level 4.5, 162 pages) whose mother treat her like a daughter but then everything changed when her mother found a boyfriend used to named Raffie. Since then her mom does not pay attention to Cindy. Cindy's mom does not believe Cindy about what she said about Raffie being a bad influence. Cindy and a boy named Bobby meet at Bluford High. Cindy and Bobby go out and Cindy thinks that he is her everything but things change when he becomes violent with her Also her friend named Jamie tries to stop her from going out with Bobby. What will Cindy do? This book touched me in a way because I cared about the characters and I wanted them to make the right decisions. I think it was a great book because it gives you good advice. It gives you good advice because it teaches you how you should treat people and your friend and family. Also it teaches that sometimes you should listen to your friends and you should listen to your daughter. The characters that taught me this are Cindy and her friend Jamie. I would recommend this book to anybody who likes to read books that are interesting and grabs the reader's attention. I think everyone would like this book because it gives good advice to a lot of people especially to mothers and daughters. I personally love this book because it is enthralling.

WHAT I THINK???????

Hi my name is mayra. I'm fifteen yrs. old. I go to Curie high school in Chicago,ill. Reading this boook was fun b/c it relates to true life. Alot of girls are going throgh the same stuff as Cindy. Their moms are never with them b/c they are always with their boyfriends. Probably they also have a man that don't treat them right and hits them. Or probably he is related to drugs. This book has to do with all this kind of stuff.If you have this type of problems you already know what to do, so go for it!!! Thank you.

Someone To Love Me

Someone To Love Me By Anne Schraff [...] "What's that?'' her mother asked, pointing to the bruise on her wrist.... Cindy moved her arm as she spoke, so her mother would not stare at the bruise. There was no way she was going to tell her mother what Bobby had did''. Someone To Love Me by Anne Schraff, is a stunning realistic fiction novel about a girl, Cindy Gibson, who is going through a lot of trouble. When she arrives at Bluford for her freshman year, she had trouble back at home with her absent mother, her mother's boyfriend who is always telling her she is ugly, and suspects that he is selling drugs in their home and Cindy tries to tell her mother, she never believes her, and Cindy is always alone in the apartment, whenever her and Raffie goes out and she is always upset. All that changes when she meets Bobby Wallace, an older, handsome, young man who starts behaving strangely towards Cindy. The reason why teenage girls should read this book , if a older boyfriend is hitting you and getting you into a world of drugs, you really need to listen to your friends or the police. Most teenage girls have mothers who don't never have time for their child(ren) when dating someone, you really need to tell them how you feel. Between me and Cindy, I feel her struggles with her mother I learned from this book to tell the people who hurt me how I feel.

Muy Bien!!

This book is great for the girls who think that every boy likes you for who you really are. After you read this book, you'll think differently. Cindy thinks this boy named Bobby Wallace really liked her, but he only wanted to use her. Cindy ends up being lead to places where she doesn't want to go. Bobby treats her like gum on the bottom of someone's shoe, and Cindy hides it from her family. This story I had to read atlease 3 times because it was that great. I would request this book to any one who loves to read. "Someone To Love Me" is a story that can realate to real, life teenage problems.
