Once I have read a book called "My dzieci z dworca Zoo" written by Christiane F. I was impressed by it. The book describes lives of children who are addicted to drugs. The material for this book was gathered by Hermann and Horst Rieck. The action took place in the western Berlin. The main character is a young girl who came from a good, loving family and was a good schoolgirl. Then, when she was 12 years old, she entered a bad companion and started smoking hashish and later she turned to harder drugs. She was taking heroine at the age of 13. She began getting bad marks but her parents did not understand what was happening - they thought that it was because of the new surrounding (they had moved to western Berlin only recently). They did not think that it was something more dangerous. In order to get money for the drugs she was working as a prostitute on the station Zoo. She also did not understand what was happening with her, that drugs were destroying her life. She believed that she was not addicted and could give up whenever she wanted to. Her friends were dying but she survived thanks to her mother who tried to help as much as she could. The book shows the situation from two points of view: of the mother and the girl. It is appealing to both parents and younger readers. This book is a warning and should be read by everyone.
