BE MORE CHILL BY NED VIZZINI

          I have just finished reading  Be More Chill By Ned Vizzini. Which is an adventurous book that has to do with teenage years of Jeremy; who deals with many issues with being accepted around the society and his peers. 

        Jeremy is not popular, but all he wishes to be popular and none more. His best friend, Michel tells him that it’s not worth it and their friendship is the only thing that matters. However, when he learns that a pill, a small pill that you take and it will give you anything you desire. The “Squip”; as the pill is named, has risen up cash value in its time as it got popular. But how could two people want one thing at the same time? Things get out of control with this pill. He does get some attention from some popular kids at school, but other than that, the squip totally messes up everyone’s lives that take it. People die in fires, makes them loose their great friends, and do things they would never intend on doing.  Society has totally influenced some people. Some so bad that they must change their friends and their personally to “fit in”. Society creates stereo-types that people then later decide to make society segregated into these “stereo-types”. Jeremy soon realizes that a thing like popularity doesn’t matter anymore. Because where can it actually lead you? You don’t go to school for popularity, you go to learn. Jeremy thinks that being popular is really important, but it’s really not. What is popularity? Society should never influence anything. I mean they shouldn’t be segregated into those stereo-types.  

         Be More Chill has helped me realize how dumb the idea of popularity is. I mean it really won’t get you anywhere. Not to mention, how much society affects a lot of things. It made people think in a very bad way and is broken into many stereotypes. Overall, I highly recommend this book it teaches you a valuable lesson on how society and how popularity is really stupid.
