Hey, Jessica, I'm in IB too! I'm not getting the full diploma, so I don't have to write the 4,000 word essay, but I'm still testing out of several classes. Excellent essay choice!

Back on topic: I haven't had to go through any particularly hard times since I've started reading Tolkien, but it sure would have helped a little while back. I was going through a lot of insecurity about my friendships, and I really could have used the escape rather than moping all the time. Fortunately, nothing like that is happening to me now. Reading does help me when I'm really stressed out over schoolwork, though, which does happen quite often.

This is a really good thread!
