IT HAPPEND TO NANCY 'book share'



The book called "It Happen To Nancy", is about a 14 year old girl who has HIV. Her name is Nancy and she keeps a diary to herself where she expresses her feelings about having HIV. One night she went to a concert with her friends then some guys started fighting. Nancy freaks out and had an asthma attack. This guy named Collin sees her and gets closer to her. From that point, they become friends and Nancy falls in love. In a Wednesday night all her family left. So Nancy stayed at home alone. She didn't wanted to be at home alone so she called Collin. Collin stared telling her about their relationship. Each time Collin was getting closer and closer to her, till he raped her. After a few days Nancy didn't felt good. So she went to the hospital. The doctor had blood samples taken. The doctor tells Nancy to go there again in one week. After a week Nancy went to the hospital, the doctor tells her that she had HIV. She didn't believed it. She knew that she was not going to be the same teen that she just to be. She knew that every thing that Collin told her was not true. Nothing. She didn't told no body about her problem. Not even her friends. Nancy tries not to be as close as possible to her friend, because she didn't want them to have the same thing that she had. When her friends talk about relationships she feels bad because she knows she's not going to be able to have boyfriends. Nancy knew that she cannot be a mother because if she becomes pregnant her baby have probabilities to have HIV too. Nancy didn't wanted now one else to have that. Nancy felt like if she is the one that's responsible of having HIV because she believed on him. Nancy always had on her mind 'I'M GOING TO DIE.' Now Nancy had to learn how to be a adult facing death and decisions.
I liked this book because it's a diary of a teenager who faced HIV. And I do recommend this book to others well especially to girls because it teaches a valuable lesson that could change one's life. For ever, it will keeps you from living you life. You aren't going to be your self.
