If I Stay
question
would you choose to go or stay?

thats an extremely tough question, in my opinion. if you stay, you have to cope with all the pain, both physically and emotionally, of your injuries plus the deaths of your whole family. and if you go, then you give up the life you have ahead of you.

I think that making that decision, to stay or go, would change everything. I would stay, I couldn't leave not when there are so many things I haven't done yet
STAY . No one has the right to choose either they want to die or not. That is up to God but to us human is to fight for living no matter what.
I would go. There is something else someplace else. I know given my own choice and circumstances, I would go.
i think i would stay. she still has people waiting for her who care about her a lot.
I would choose stay. I mean its a hard choice to make with her family gone but I think it would be worth it in the end.
I would choose not to be given a choice. It's not a gift being able to choose, because either way someone ends up hurting, and I truly can't imagine having to choose in a situation like that. My mom is my rock and wihtout her pushing me and supporting me i couldn't get through life. If I was meant to live then so be it, but if it was my fate to go then that's okay too.
its would be extream emotionial and physical pain and losing your whole family i couldnt imagine my life without my family i beleive i might go with them like teddy but that might just be because im young and have experenced much heartbrake throughout my life so far
Stay no matter how hard life is it is always worth living plus she did have lots of friends and family still there for her. Adam was sooo sweet!
When it comes to this story, I would stay. You can always "choose" to go.
Sometimes you're in so much pain, that it's ok to let go. Maybe that's all it takes, letting go, even for a briefest of time, to realize you want to stay.
plain and simple. i would stay. you can start all over, ofcourse youd miss your family, but that doesnt mean you cant go on without them
i think in the moment i would definitely not want to stay. that's a lot to deal with in one day.
At her age, I would stay. Me being 42 and a mom, If my sons were killed I would not come back, No way
I honestly don't know.... my family is my strength,and it pains me just to imagine my life without them. Just like the other i would let fate decide, if i find myself alive after the accident i guess no matter how hard it is , i should find a reason to live and be grateful for the second chance in life.
I'm scared to die so I would stay but I know what its like to be in that situation where you feel like you have to tell a person its ok for them to die. That I understand but I don't understand giving up.
I would stay. I think my parents and my little brother would like me to live my life longer. Although it would hurt and affect me so much after all that I have suffered and lost I know I will be all right in the end.
For me it would be really hard to choose, In her potition I would stay because she still has family left, for the love of her boyfrien and for her bestfriend. But living while knowing that you were the only one in your family to survive would be a really painful life and I would be always wondering why it was mr who got to live and not any other member of my family.So in a way not staying would be the easiest thing to do.In my poit of view and in how my life is I think I would have to see who was their for me, and their would be probobly nobody so I guess I would go but then were would you go? And thats the hard question, because if it was back with my family i dont know if I could do it.But sometimes is so easy to follow your pain and just want to let go and get rid of it that maybe in the moment I would want to just let go and end with everything. But if I got to choose I would stay even if it was a painful thing to do. I dont think I could stand leaving my friends and the rest of my family. Or could I?
I would stay without hesitation. She has plenty of talent & a wonderful career ahead, as well as tons of nice people who love her & want her stay.
Whether you choose to stay or go is very debatable, and its depend on what the situation is.
Mia decides to stay because her boyfriend had told her to, but she could have gone because she lost some of the most special people in her life.
If it was me in that situation, i would go because their is no point in living a life with no mum, no dad and no sibling.

I would've said stay HAD I NOT READ THE SECOND BOOK. I would've stayed if there was someone who still really, really loved me- that would've been Adam. However, choosing to live & giving up your love doesn't seem like...a good way to go on living.

there was a time in my life I would have said go but after all I went through even though my life now is far from perfect or even very enjoyable I have learned it always gets better so I would stay...
It's an easy choice for me, I would go. My family is the most important thing in my life, and if I lost all of them and had the choice to leave, I would leave.
Thats tough but I would stay because you would be with your family when the time came. I couldn't leave all those other people like my grandmother.
hmm..you guys are right its an extremely tough decision. i don't think i could make a decision like that-to find peace in death or to live and suffer the realities of no more family and grieving friends. not to mention all the sympathy that everyone would look at you with.
hard topic. cons about why i wouldnt stay if i were in her shoes is that she lost nearly everone that she loved- her brother, mother and father. The only people she didnt lose is her Boy friend which, seeing as she stayed because she oved him so much and didnt want all the others, her best friends and grandparents, to go through what she wold got through if she left along with her parents ad brother. I would have stayed, had i been in her situation, for a boy that TRULY loved me and everyone else that i done even think i could live without in the great beyond
Stay!!! With Kim and Adam, her grandparents, and Julliard, I would see reason to live. She was just as loved. Although I wanted to cry a lot of the times I read about her memories and how (SPOILER!) her familiy died.

To stay or to let go? I think if I were Mia and in her shoes, I would stay. But given my circumstances, I would probably go.
Hmm, I'm not sure, I wobbled along with Mia on her decision, think it might be stay, maybe...
Stay but not for the reasons that she picked. I know staying would be hard but why would you intentionally want to give up your life like that, I think something like this would make you appreciate your life so much more!
If I was Mia I would go. She has nothing to stay for except for Adam who she ends up leaving so.....

Where She Went's a great ending to the whole story of Mia and Adam. Sort of bittersweet, but what wouldn't after living when you're whole family died?
