I Wrote on All Four Walls

The explosive teenage years can make young people more prone to violence--and more vulnerable. These accounts are authentic and riveting: 16-year-old Janice finds herself the target of cyber-bullying and physical intimidation at school; Allan remembers coming out at age fourteen and learning that safety can be as much about who you know as who you are; Don at age eight terrorized his younger brother, an aggression that escalated into the torture of another boy at fifteen. This book collects the harrowing stories of nine contemporary teenagers who have witnessed, been the victim of, or instigated acts of violence--sometimes all three. The afterword by youth services specialist Dr. Fred Matthews, explores how both victims and perpetrators can come to terms with violent events and gain control of their lives.
