What is the main conflict in the novel, To Take a Dare?

The novel's conflict is centered around Chrysta Perretti's fight for her own identity. She desires a happy life but her obese mother, overly religious and restrictive father, and her own body all seem intent upon betraying her. Her overly developed figure leads to trouble. Unloved at home, Chrissie becomes involved in sex for attention at school and turns to drugs and alcohol to support her low self-esteem. Her image as "punk queen," complete with overdone makeup and high heel shoes, brings her notice, but little satisfaction.
