How does this book help you think about social issues you care about or causes your committed to?

I am reading the book Ask Alice Anonymous, the book is about teenagers taking drugs. It also mentions rape and running away from home. The thought of teenagers taking drugs, especially serious very dangerous drugs, makes me uncomfortable. Drugs bring out a different side of people and make people make bad decisions. Drugs lead to teen pregnancy and runaway teenagers and teenagers in jail. Taking drugs come from stupidity and peer pressure. This topic is also very serious because little kids look up to us teenagers and teenagers are sometimes stupid and give kids drugs. This also happens in the book.

Is this story fair?

I am currently reading the book 12/22/63 by Stephen King. I personally don't feel that the story is fair because I feel like the universe is against the main character and there is no way of controlling the universe. The universe is against the main character because the main character is trying to change the past, and the past doesn't want to be changed. My main character prevented a murder of a family, a serious injury that could've handicapped someone for life, and is trying to save President John F. Kennedy. The main character keeps getting hit with obstacles and I can tell he is exhausted from all the work that he's putting into to save Kennedy. Also, the main character is attached to emotional strings in the past, so when he has to go back to the present, it will be a lot harder for him to let go. Also he has to lie to the people  he loves because he can't tell them that he is from the future.
