Sarah T--Portrait of a Teenage Alcoholic [Mass Market Paperback]

Robin S. Wagner (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 12, 1986

Teen-age problem drinkers are not just young adults of legal age. Many are alcoholics at 12 and 13, and some even sooner. They're raiding their parents' liquor cabinets ... bribing older friends to buy it for them. Young girls are trading sex for it.

Sarah T. -- Portrait Of A Teen-Age Alcoholic takes both a shocking and compassionate look at the growing problem of adolescent liquor abuse ... and the desperate need for rehabilitation.

I had to read this book in Language Arts class. I thought this would be like any other book we have read, uninteresting and boring. But, I was wrong. I really enjoyed reading this book. It made me open my eyes and understand that teen-age alcoholism is a serious problem in America today. This is an awesome book for people of all ages. Hey, im only 13 and i enjoyed it!

This book was AMAZING. I never would have thought it would change me the way it did. I am not an alcoholic. I have had maybe two drinks in my whole life. My english teacher recommended this book to me. I was reluctant at first, but I am so glad I decided to read it. Near the last chapter I wanted to bawl my eyes out. I couldnt put the book down. I STRONGLY recommend this book to everyone. It is awesome and diserves 6 stars. Wow.

I had to read this book because I had to write a paper about alcoholics. This book was a great help and it reads very easy and quick. I also had to present the book in class and they all thought it is a wonderfull book. The subject is realistic and also a bit shocking because most people think alcoholics are adults and not teenagers.
