Reviews
"Teens from New York-based Youth Communication pen autobiographical essays about their struggles with bullies, anger about bad home situations and unfair treatment, and pressure to conform or be successful. While not graphic or overly profane, their well-written stories are often harrowing to read, with frank accounts of abuse, neglect, sexuality, and crushing loneliness . . . What is most striking . . . is the teens' resilience as they seek aid, learn coping strategies, or find outlets for self-expression."-- School Library Journal, "This would be excellent for younger teens, as it presents the messages of be true to yourself, stand up for yourself, be yourself, and be kind . . . these are messages that need to be heard as early as possible."-- VOYA, "Teens from New York-based Youth Communication pen autobiographical essays about their struggles with bullies, anger about bad home situations and unfair treatment, and pressure to conform or be successful.

Student said the book really helped them and that they would absolutely recommend it to a friend who may need help with or reassurance about something they were going through."--Hanna Pollak, Prevention Focus intern
