In 1979 world was shocked by story of fourteen-year-old girl from Berlin – Christiane Felscherinow, published as "We children from zoo station” It’s a story about girl's transformation from a bright and promising child to the walking cadaver of a heroin addict..
At first Christiane — a pretty smart, good-looking girl — is only interested in the Berlin nightlife. In “Hell on Earth” a place called Gropistadt Christiane meets Detlef, a boy her age.
She did a lot of things just like he did. And it all started with smoking wheat, and then taking pills, ...and then being addicted to heroin. The consequence of her
self-destructive behaviour, is that at the age of fourteen, she's an
experienced heroin junkie residing at the infamous Zoo station in Berlin She sold her body to get the money for the next “shot”. She tried a few times to get rid of her addiction. unfortunately vainly. Christiane slowly withers away from her svelte beauty into an emaciated, filthy girl who vomits blood.
I think it's good to publish books like this. I recommend this book for everyone. You can see how it affects people, and what some have to do to get the money for their drugs! No anti-drug message in any commercial, movie, or book has ever come close to affecting me to the extent that this novel has. I always thought that it is simple to rid the “innocent” drugs but when I read this book I know that if you were addicted to it once, you have a hard time to stay away from it!

I'd try to make one sentence out of those. Also, you could make use of the expression "in vain."

Generally well-written. A few good phrases. Good vocabulary. However what you ought to work on is punctuation. Also, consider using some linking words.
