Query: Typical junior high?

In this series of vignettes built aroung a junior high school dance, we encounter: a girl being beaten and abandoned by her religious-fanatic father; a boy reminiscing about his first love, who was killed by a careless driver; a boy realizing that he is homosexual; and a girl being raped by her boyfriend.The only thing missing is a good teen suicide. Perhaps the author ran into a publication deadline before she could write that one. Yes, this is just good, wholesome reading for today's young teen readers!
