I love reading and writing. That is my favorite thing to do in my spare time other than singing. My most favorite book is Kim: Empty Inside it is written by an anonymous author. This book has touched me in many ways. The book is about a teenage girl who struggles with an eating disorder called bulimia. She develops this eating disorder when she enters college as a freshmen and the pressure becomes unbearable. The pressure becomes unbearable because she graduated high school at the top of her class and when she went to college things became to hard and she was no longer on top. The disorder had also started because Kim was the star child growing up. She always had to be perfect and do the right things. She always had to be the people pleaser because her parents were high executives in their line of profession. Stress had always been the key factor when things went wrong.
I can relate to this book because I am a teenager and I know what it feels like to be under the pressure. My entire life I was always the good child. I had to be the one that did not make any mistakes. I had to be the one to bring home the good grades. I had to have the good attitude and always be good around people. I went through all of that, however I did not develop an eating disorder. I went through depression, I always felt like I was not doing enough to be perfect, or make everybody around me happy. So I would go deeper and deeper until I hit rock bottom and there was not anywhere else for me to go. So I decided I was going to make ME happy. I was going to do things I wanted.
When I read this book, I felt everything she did. I wished that this book had an author published because then I would feel better knowing that I am not the only one that his hit rock bottom and kind of made it out. I wish there was an author posted because I would look for other books by the author and read them. Books have many impacts on people, some have positive effects some have negative effects.
