Answer: LSD

During the first summer she recorded in her diary, the girl's best friend, Beth, went off to summer camp, so the narrator went to stay with her grandparents.

In the following weeks, the girl experimented with other drugs.
4. Where did the author go with Chris?

Answer: San Francisco

When the girl returned home from her grandparents' house, she and an older girl named Chris started selling drugs with two college boys named Ted and Richie. When the girls had a falling out with the boys, Chris and the narrator decided to run away to San Francisco so Richie woouldn't turn them in for selling drugs to kids at the elementary and middle school.
5. What did Chris and the narrator sell at their shop?

Answer: Jewelry

Chris and the girl lived in San Francisco for about a month. They worked low-paying jobs and lived in a run-down apartment. They also met a woman named Shelia who introduced them to heroin. Finally the girls decided it was too hard living in San Francisco, so they went to Berkeley and started a jewelry boutique.

Their shop was open for only a few days before they packed up and went home.
6. How did the subject get to Denver?

Answer: She hitch-hiked.

The year after she went to California with Chris, the narrator began buying and selling drugs with the kids in her town. One night in March, she got high and hitch-hiked out to Denver. She only had $20 with her.
7. What did the narrator say she wanted to do for a living after high school?

Answer: Help troubled children

Near the end of her first diary, she saw how miserable and hurt the drug-abusing teens around her were. She said one day she might want to try to help troubled teens like them, or she might study psychology to learn why some people choose to end up that way.
8. After the girl returned home for a second time, the drug-using kids started harassing her.

Answer: True

When the narrator came home, she was not using drugs herself. However a lot of the drug-using kids at her school started verbally taunting her, planting drugs in her purse and locker, and threatening her. She told her parents, who offered to tell the parents of the trouble-making kids, but she said that would cause even more problems.
9. When the narrator was put in the hospital, what did she think was happening to her?

Answer: Worms were crawling all over her body

One night in July, the girl was baby-sitting, and she unknowingly consumed LSD that was sprinkled on chocolate-covered peanuts. She thought she saw her dead grandfather, and he tried to save her. She was constantly seeing disturbing images of his body being covered with worms from being underground.

She thought, when his skeletal arms grabbed her, that he got worms on her. Then she severely scratched herself trying to claw the "worms" off. One of the effects of LSD is seeing and feeling things that aren't really there, particularly insects crawling on the skin.
10. How old was the subject when she died?

Answer: 17

The girl's birthday was on September 20. The next to last day written about in her diary is September 20, her 17th birthday. She decided not to keep another diary after then. The epilogue said she died three weeks later of a drug overdose. It was not known if she intentionally overdosed, or if someone slipped her drugs again.
