Zoo Station: The Story of Christiane F.

Product Information

It’s a fair point: today, largely through the educational and preventative efforts concentrated upon them, drugs are ubiquitous to even the most sheltered of American teenagers. (Christiane, however, only learns of drugs in social environments; her public school seemingly has no agenda other than filling itself to maximum capacity.) Contemporary educated American readers can therefore dispense with the propagandistic dross and appreciate Christiane’s damning critical insights.

My father was a drinker and he abused my sister and me. He was choleric and my mom just did nothing, She was more into her affair with another man and her beauty. I was so lonely when I was a kid. I just wanted to belong; I was struggling with the world. [2] Post- Christiane F. [ edit ] When she was 12 years old, she began smoking hashish with a group of friends who were slightly older at a local youth club. They gradually began using stronger drugs such as LSD and various forms of pills and she ended up using heroin. By the time she was 14, she was heroin-dependent and a prostitute, mainly at West Berlin's then-largest railway station Bahnhof Zoo. During this period, she became part of a group of teenage drug-users and sex workers of both sexes.

Se qualcuno avesse la mia stessa abitudine di leggere i libri evitando prologhi e prefazioni, lo avverto che Noi, i ragazzi dello zoo di Berlino è lo sbobinamento di varie ore d’intervista a Christiane F. che iniziò a farsi d’eroina a tredici anni, nel 1976. The narrator also went to the same school I went. A school that prided themselves of being one of a kind, yet it failed to properly educate their students. A mentality of competing, of being better than everybody else was nurtured. After shooting finished, a friend’s mother told me she would never have allowed her daughter to do the film. I didn’t understand why. I grew up with my father and he knew I was very strong-willed. If I wanted to do the film, I would find a way. So my father said: “If you really want to do it, do it.” We never thought the consequences would be so huge.

That was exactly what she was trying to do; try and find a place where she felt accepted and belonged. tristemeste ironico che questo libro è stato per l'autrice il successo e la rovina al tempo stesso.Povestea Christianei e foarte dură, de neimaginat, dar mărturisirea sa e și foarte reală, am fost alături de ea, pe parcursul fiecărei trăiri; încă nu îmi vine să cred că sunt copiii care trec prin lucrurile acestea și rămân neobservați, neajutorați.. am încercat să nu-i judec pe părinții săi, sau să nu fac comparații cu felul în care eu am crescut, dar a fost destul de greu. The David Bowie concert featured in the film actually took place in New York City, with only some of the crew and cast attending, because at the time Bowie was performing on Broadway several nights a week and could not shoot in Berlin. The close-up shots of Bowie were from this New York performance, whereas the mass audience scenes were from an AC/DC concert in Germany. The two were spliced together to seem as one event. Aber auf der anderen Seite schreibt sie jeder als kleines dummes Mädchen ab dass sich nicht unter Kontrolle hat. bin ich durch meine Schulzeit gekommen ohne jemals Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo gelesen zu haben und ehrlich gesagt bin ich im Nachhinein sehr dankbar dafür, denn ich bezweifele stark, dass ich es damals zu Ende gelesen hätte.

Heroes … David Bowie played himself and wrote the music in the film.

It describes how much pain I've had in my life, and [explains] that I will die a very early and painful death. [2] Das ist das, was mich traurig macht. Die Thematik und die Art und Weise wie mit der Person dahinter umgegangen wird. Sie hat das Thema sehr gut geschildert und gut erzählt. Was aus diesem Coming out geworden ist und wie die Menschheit mit ihr umgeht find ich nicht ok. A quei tempi fece parecchia presa sulla me adolescente, dandomi la giusta dose di timore, tanto che ripetevo in loop nella mia mente, che mai e poi mai avrei ceduto al richiamo delle droghe; oggi rileggendo qualche pagina, prima di passarlo a mia figlia, mi ha suscitato ansia, quell'ansia da genitrice che teme le amicizie sbagliate, teme il senso di insoddisfazione perenne dei ragazzi di oggi e che potrebbero essere tentati. Mir schnürts immer noch den Hals zu und es macht mich alles immer noch so wahnsinnig nachdenklich und traurig.In an October 2013 interview, Felscherinow expressed her frustration with public perceptions of her since the publication of Christiane F.: I had to prepare a presentation on Bydlowska’s Drunk Mom in my creative non-fiction course and this book (titled Station Zoo in English) was mentioned by the author. I was curious about it, since growing up in Berlin I kept hearing it mentioned, yet I never knew what it was really about. Whatever somebody could have told me about it would not have been enough to caution me on the journey I was about to embark upon. Hașiș, LSD, heroină, prostituție, abuz… experimentate de către niște tineri de 13-16 ani, pe fondul istoric al Germaniei Occidentale ai anilor ‘70. Atze’s death completely obliterated an impossible dream that we all shared: the dream of the cool junkie, who’s able to handle his heroin. Instead, everyone in Atze’s old crowd began to fear and mistrust each other. Before, when there weren’t enough needles to go around and we were shooting up, everybody wanted to be first. Now all of a sudden, everybody wanted to be second. Nobody talked about how scared they were, but everyone was worried that the stuff would be too pure, too strong, or that it would be cut with strychnine or some other poison. You could die from an overdose, but you could also die from shit that was too pure or too dirty.
