The first chapter of Getting Played really threw me off from what I thought it would be.. I thought it was a story type of novel that would explore the different problems and situations teens go through today. As it turns out, the book was about the study that took place for the research on the topic. The information that the writer discovered could have been used in a different way to write a different type of book on it. Though I still found the information to be interesting and truthful, I would have better liked a book that could really hold my attention, hopefully the following chapters will grab my interest and attention a little better.
I also feel that many teens today would agree with the information that was found with this study. Many of us face these same conditions on the daily basis and are expected to just deal with it.. It would be completely our fault if we don't make it out.. Well the odds aren't exactly on our side. And this all comes from the older generation that has NOT been through these things.. They faced a different struggle than we do today.. How can we receive help from those who do not know what we face?

I think the following chapters will resonate more with you. This first chapter is about what things the author wants to discuss in the book and the data that she draws on for her discussion. I expect the following chapters might be more interesting.
