Sample Book Insights:
#1 I had a tightly coiled ball of anger inside me that sometimes erupted into bad behavior. I was not ever violent, but I was argumentative and determined to do whatever ill-advised thing I had set my mind on. I began wagging school and running away from home at age 12.
#2 I missed my dad, but I was happy to be away from him. I felt like it was my responsibility to look after my sister and the two other kids who stayed with us at the weekends, so I told them stories and pretended I wasn’t afraid.
#3 I had a difficult time moving out of my mother’s house. I was upset when I found out that our new house was on a rough housing estate, and that kids like me were picked on and sometimes physically assaulted.
#4 I had always done well in school, so I was looking forward to moving on to secondary school. But when I started to get bullied, I began to change myself in order to fit in. I eventually became friends with one of the bullies, and together we would prank call people.
