Crank by Ellen Hopkins is all about
bad habits. When Kristina goes to her drunken father’s house for the summer she
picks up many bad habits from the people around her. For example she started
hanging out with not the best people, doing drugs, smoking, drinking, and
getting herself into tricky situations. Kristina turns into another person who
is not her normal self.
Many
bad habits can be picked up from the people you chose to hang out with, either
by peer pressure, force, or just you trying to fit in. It all depends on who we
chose to hang out with and the choices we make. I feel like if someone tried to
make me do something i didn't want to do, I would just say no and leave,
because they are obviously not a good friend for me to hang around if they are
trying to make me do something. However, some people are not like this and pick
up others bad habits and can’t get rid of them.1

You've cleared up my thoughts on the book "Crank." At first, I thought it was just about a girl who becomes possessed by bad habits. The way you word it, you make it seem as though the author is trying to convey a very important lesson.
