Slam: probelms in the text

Right now in my book slam written by Nick Hornbi there is a big issue throughout this entire book. The main character has a rough life because his parents are split up and his mom had him when she was only 16. This is a problem throughout the entire world because people have babies by mistake at a very young age. He also just met a really pretty girl named alicia things got serious really fast. After a little while they saw each other a lot and they started to have sex. One time they had sex without protection which is another problem because it shows that two people can have a baby at a very young age by accident.
     The text also shows the struggles that too teens can face when they have to go through rasing a baby at such a young age. They can really ruin the rest of they're lives and end up missing out on the chance to go to college like a regular kid but they end up basically throwing away they're future. In this book Alicia could not go to college at all which really probably ended up really effecing her future.. all in Wall there was a very strong message in this text and I liked the book a lot.

Crackback.

          The main character in my books name is miles and right now he has a lot of conflicts going on for one he just cost a game winning touchdown to end there winning streak and also his best friend is now taking steriods and he doesnt want to shoot with him because his dad has always told him not to. so right now he is stuck between doing the right thing and keeping his best friend. But in my opinion if your best friend will only be your friend if you take steroids with him then hes really not a good friend at all.
          There is also this girl he likes and wants to ask out to the dance but he doesn't really know how to talk to her and he is really nervous to ask her out to the dance because he doesn't ask girls out alot.
          Also in the story right now his dad is puting a lot of pressure to be a good football player cause he used to be one when he was in college and he wants his son to be more successful then him. In my opinion its really unfair how he puts so much pressure on his son and he doesn't really appreciate his son enough in my oppinion.
