Every year in Miss DeMarcos eighth grade class she has her studets read the book Speak by Laura Anderson. She thinks the book teaches us good lessons for the years to come. In this book the main character, Melina, gets raped at a party when she about to go in to high school. Some of the childrens parents do not think it is appropriate to read. Please sign the petition so Miss DeMarco can contine to teach this book to us. -Her students

This book is so real. I read it when I was in 8th grade and it truly helped me understand things I was too afraid to ask about. Dont take this away from the kids who need to read it.
