Impulse by Ellen Hopkins
Vanessa, Tony, and Conner have three totally different lives and take three different paths to the same place, Aspen Springs. Aspen Springs is a psychiatric hospital for people who have attempted suicide.Vanessa is a beautiful girl, smart and her life could be great, except for the fact that she gets the urge of cutting herself. Not just cutting her self, but deep enough to kill her. Tony is a boy who went through a tough childhood, and his father left him for years, and the only thing to comfort him is overdosing on pills, so much pills he is on the verge of killing himself, and in the hospital he saves up all the daily depression pills and overdoses on them. Conner has a great life wealthy and all, but nobody knows the inside of his skin, because if they did they would know that he is always in a fight with his abusive parents. Vanessa, Tony, and Conner all took it in until they popped. Vanessa grabbed the knife, Tony grabbed the pills, and Conner grabbed the gun, and tried to end it. Now they were all sent to Aspen Springs to get help, and another chance. And maybe together they will fight this depression.
