So the cover story that we're doing this month is on "mean girls" and how absolutely vicious high school girls can be. It's a subject that's been dramatized in the past, and I think a lot of people think that that's all the movies and articles and books are--over the top and exaggerated. But see, that's not true. I mean, I have my drama, which is

Your cover story sounds really interesting. I hope it gets the wheels in people's minds going, too, because those stories just sound way over the top for those kids. How awful.

I'm assuming the books you picked up are about the war. Are they fiction/non-fiction? I have to admit, a lot of the fiction about the Vietnam War - and trust me, I've read plenty lol - is sometimes better than the non-fiction, because there's just something about it that makes it more real, gives you more of what they called the "grunt's-eye view" of the war. It's really neat. Although the non-fiction is great, too, because not only do you get what actually happened, but real photographs and things like that. So I guess they're about even, really; I think I just gravitate more towards the fiction because I already know so much about it. Lol. :p

Oh, and a lot of the documentary films are really amazing, too. Incase you were interested. :D

Well thank you. I think it'll definitely be an eye-opener.

And yes, they are about the war. Let's see here, I grabbed... "Letters from the Homefront -- The Vietnam War", "The Soldiers' Story -- Vietnam in their own Words" and, like, this Eyewitness book that has lots of pictures! Lol.

Actually, do you have any good fiction or biography to recommend?
