"My last stop of the night takes me past the dark bar on the corner where my life ended six years ago"(page 13)
Innocence is something that is so important for young children. It defines who they are as children. Losing that innocence can be very traumatic for them too. For Faye, the main character, losing that innocence feels as if her life ended. When I think about little kids who grow up too fast it makes me sad. They don't get to experience the joy of being a child, they can't create memories of being carefree and having fun. Losing their innocence through one way or another must really suck, and it does not even have to be the way Faye lost hers, by being introduced to drugs. It could just be that these children are given too many responsibilities at such a young age. If you think about it, these children are most likely constantly reminded of what they missed out on. For example, if their friends are talking about games they used to play when they were little, these kids would not be able to relate because they missed out on all of that stuff.
