Is their any book you could recommend for a 16 y old ?
I like the dramatic kind (sort of: a girl abused by her father, or a someone that has a sad life and ends up dealing with drugs or a lonely bullied person)

I have read Christiane f., about a girl that takes drugs, and LOVED it.
Please tell me if you know any book of the kind

How strong a reader are you? I'd recommend Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov if you like tragic stories about children in bad situations. It's a heavy, dark story and it's written so, so beautifully, but it's going to be a struggle if you're not a strong reader.
Go Ask Alice is a classic book about a troubled teen . It claims to be an actual diary but in reality it's fiction. Still a good read!
Ender's Game is a great book about a young boy who is used by his superiors as a tool to accomplish their own goals. It's soft sci-fi and very, very good. Many people love this book who don't normally read sci-fi.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Keasey (?) - This is my all time favorite book!
Catch 22 and On The Road are good books.
Also, anything by Nick Hornsby.

The Burn Journals and Cut are two very good books. The Burn Journal is about a boy who burns himself--true story--as a suicide attempt. He then goes through recovery and all of that fun stuff. Cut is about a girl in a mental hospitcal because well, she cuts, and she doesn't really talk to anyone.

All of the anonymous books in the young adult area are great--ones like "Go Ask Alice."
