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.
Stay. It will be tough, but life is really wonderful. We need to learn to appreciate it. And make the best of it.
I would've stayed. I mean Adam is freaking hot in my imagination :)
Being the age I am I would stay. There's just too much I haven't done yet.
Stay, I may say. Whatever the rubble life throw at you, you`re suppose to stand up to them straight on!

I always tell myself that nothing is ever bad enough to die, so I would stay and make the best if the life that I was given and try to live in the light of my parents! It would be tough!
I'd stay. It won't be easy but knowing I still have loved ones here will definitely help. There's sooo much more to life!
I would stay and always appreciate the fact that I was given a chance at life. We really have to appreciate life and all the oppurtunities it can give us.
I think I would stay. If I had Adam, my grandparents and Juilliard in my future, I would definitely want to stay.
Wat really hit me hard about this book, was that her family is exactly like mine. With a younger brother and mum and dad. I cannot even fathom having to face a life without a single one of them. I mean, it's bad enough losing one Or even two faily members. But all three of them? It's soul-destroying. I would have to go. I would HAVE to.
I would definitely stay. Especially if I was in Mia's place. She's only 18 and still has the whole world ahead of you. God is actually giving you a choice! Take advantage of it people!! But, when it's time for me to go, it's time for me to go. Love ya!
I would leave, because staying in a place loaded with grief and memories would consume anyone, leaving Adam though, being the major consequence of such decision was aweful, because he is phenominal, I fell in love with him more and more with every page, but I would've left, she left to heal so she can eventuaally be with him.
If I have a very loving family like that, then I wouldn't hesitate to go with them. :)
It made me cry all through it I would stay it would be really painful but I know that I would be able to get through it.
I'd like to stay.
No matter what'd happen. Cuz this is my life. Why bother dump it without any cares. I could stay to make "them" proud of me. I believe in that case, they'd truly feel and know that.
Anyway, I could say that because it's not happen in my life. However, whatever will be, it will still be. Just think carefully before doing anything. xD

I think that in that position I would stay and live my life for my parents and younger brother
I would stay. How many times do you get to make that discision? Never. Though she had so much hurt inside her because of losing her family, she still had people who loved her- alive. I would always chose to stay for the people left out there.

Stay, life is just too precious, death just proves that...
In her situation, giving up is easy! but to stay will b very tough since many difficulties ahead!! And i would defo choose to stay and face the challenges!!!
I think honestly in that moment, I would probably go. Besides Adam, who I would rationalise was young, and would move on, I would n't have anyone left. If I was a parent, or has some sort off responsibility , someone I was worried about, I would n't have. But considering Mia's case, if I were her, I'd probably have gone. Though I get why she stayed. It was a time when death was so close that the life ahead of her rivalled in its mystery. And well, Adam really fought his case.

I think I would stay, but I would understand anyone that chose to go.
I don't know.. As much as I try imagining myself in this position, I know it feels way different when you are really in the situation. I've always imagined that my life would be hell if I lost any of my siblings or my parents, and that I would collapse, but that didn't really happen when I lost my 2 years old brother. Yes it was a massive shock, and yes I weeped a lot, but I decided that I have to stay but strengthen myself and move on with my family. I could've killed myself to join him, and I actually wanted that so bad. I also thought before I lost him that if something like this happens, I would be strong and understand that this is life immediately, I thought I would feel so bad but I won't lose hope at all. But I couldn't when it actually happened. I lost hope, I was devastated and weak, and as I said I then decided I have to strengthen myself. As to this story, I would say that I would stay for Adam. But who knows if I will have the strength then to tolerate staying and leaving my family behind.
Even if I have thought about going in the past (personal problems), I would stay.
stay, it would be hard but her grandpa apparently needed her and so did Adam. As well as all her other "family" that never left the waiting room
if i had a friend like kim who said the whole family thing *which when she said it made me cry*
and an amazing boyfriend like adam who got THAT intense and crap about loving me *like he did you all remember* i would stay.
if not i would probably feel that my time is right and if i didn't feel i would be missing out on my life i would go.

I would stay. Going is cowardly IMO. You just have to deal with it all and then move on.
I would stay. Although she's lost the people she loves she's still got her Boyfriend and I know her parents would of wanted her to stay and actually live her life. After all, she is young! She's hardly lived at all!
I don't know. I guess it depends. But I love that she stays. :)
I would stay. I'm not ready to die yet. And my life could go on without those in my life that mean so much. You can always meet new people and make a "new family".
I think it will always depend on the situation you are in, in order to stay or move on.
That is extremely tough! But I think I would stay, becasue if i didn't I would lose all of the important people in my life and they would just be left there mourning over my death.

I really enjoyed the book and the sequel was great but I think I knew the whole book she would stay
Of course I would stay too no matter how bad things get u can always make it better death is not the answer!!

I think I would stay even if it is tough to be without my parents.
I would stay. It would be difficult, but she was a survivor, and she'd be missing out on life if she didn't. It would seem kind of lonely, though...
I would have chosen to stay, that way I could remember then and live for them and even do the thing Teddy would never have gotten to do.
I would stay yes it will be hard since her whole familys gone.But she has her whole life ahead of her.
