Thanks for stopping and checking out the site! If you are considering or have already written a story for one of the book series, or are reserving/purchasing/ a copy of one of the books, or were referred to the site or happened to stumble across it, I just want to say, "WELCOME!"
I would like to invite you to go grab something refreshing to sip on while you browse through the site! There's a lot to see here. In fact, there's a lot to see on the internet to a point it is sometimes overwhelming as to where to find the right information that could help you get to a better place in your life. Especially going through difficult times.
On this site, I've tried to simplify and categorize related information and provide other links and searches that may be of interest for you, depending on your circumstances. (Keep in mind that site is still under contruction). The information provided here is only suggestions of other services/professionals that you can reach out to, not recommendations.
As you may know or are about to discover, with teen independence comes a lot of joy but also a lot of confusion.Sometimes rash decisions are made that could potentially be life changing or even life threatening. You may be at a point where it feels like there is no way out from the circumstances you are presently in and that you are all alone in it with nobody to turn to for help. The book series and this site is designed to help you understand that You aren't!!!You never were and never will be!
The site is intended for reference information only. Links are provided to some medical or professional sites and it is up to "you" what you do with that information. This site or referred sites are not intended to be used as a substitute for any treatment that you may presently be receiving. If you feel you truly have nowhere else to turn and need help immediately, it is strongly recommended that you seek competent medical help/advice at your local hospital or crisis center.
With that said, I hope you will become a frequent visitor and check out any and all exciting updates or chats that may be taking place on the site and Message Boards.
Keep in mind that all the stories written in these book series are meant to be read without judgment, opinion or finger pointing. Everyone has a story, their story. And how many times have you felt that all you need is to be heard and not judged by how you feel or what you say? Especially in a time of a crisis when you are not even sure which way to turn. You just need to talk about it and wrap your arms around it with someone, someone who won't "misjudge" the person you are by what you are going through.
Let's face it. At some point in everyone's life, we all make at least one bad decision. It could be as little as littering to as big as legal issues, but in reality, it is our story, and who really has a right to judge it especially if they truly don't understand it. A lot of us out there have experienced some sort of crisis mode. And during that time we may of become timid and afraid to talk to anyone about it for fear of being unfairly judged. The books series give everyone that opportunity - not only the writer, but the reader, to share without judgment.
"For those of us going through it, we care and for those of us who will be there?.we care.We are no longer and never were alone.And for those that find themselves lost and are hiding away, maybe these stories will bring some light as to where you really are and some comfort that you can reach out and get some help." Susan Clawson, author of the Parent/Teen Stories series.
