Blade never asked for a life of the rich and famous. In fact, he’d give anything not to be the son of Rutherford Morrison, a washed-up rock star and drug addict with delusions of a comeback. Or to no longer be part of a family known most for lost potential, failure, and tragedy, including the loss of his mother. The one true light is his girlfriend, Chapel, but her parents have forbidden their relationship, assuming Blade will become just like his father. In reality, the only thing Blade and Rutherford have in common is the music that lives inside them. And songwriting is all Blade has left after Rutherford, while drunk, crashes his high school graduation speech and effectively rips Chapel away forever. But when a long-held family secret comes to light, the music disappears. In its place is a letter, one that could bring Blade the freedom and love he’s been searching for, or leave him feeling even more adrift.

Download or read book Teen Talk Insight on Issues That Matter To Teens and the Adults Who Care About Them written by Maria Susan Proulx and published by . This book was released on 2021-11-22 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Maria Susan Proulx started writing her Teen Talk column for a local newspaper, she was just twelve years old. Her parents teased her, saying that teens didn't read the paper; she was communicating with her peers in a medium read by forty-year-olds. But that didn't stop Maria. Soon, she learned that teens and parents were discussing each of her columns over dinner, instead of sitting in silence, absorbed by their phones. Fellow students came up to her in the hallway at school, telling her that her column on mental health gave them the courage to face their own struggles. Teachers told her that they cut her column out of the paper and posted it in their classrooms, to encourage conversations with students about tough topics. Emboldened, Maria kept writing-and five years later, her columns have become this book. Teen Talk: Insight on Issues that Matter to Teens and the Adults Who Care About Them is a collection of essays on activism, college acceptance, gender identity, body positivity, immigration, blended families, rejection, dating, illness, homework, and addiction-but it's also so much more. It's a bridge between teens and the adults in their lives, a way of tearing down barriers and building common understanding. Through humor, honesty, and insight, Teen Talk offers a space for conversation, reflection, and-above all-the knowledge that no matter how overwhelming their challenges might seem, teens are not alone.

Book excerpt: "They've always wanted me to be open and honest with them, I've spent years explaining stuff to them, and sometimes they still don't understand everything" - Milly, 16 "Your parents aren't actually hatching a plan to ruin your life..." Jim, 52 From minor matters (tidiness, homework, sleep) to big and important ones (relationships, mental ill health, drugs and alcohol), teenagers and their parents often struggle to talk to each other - and talking is key if your young person is facing new challenges as they leave childhood behind. A well-timed conversation, a listening ear, a non-judgemental and receptive attitude - all these can make an enormous and lasting impact on how safely and happily a teenager navigates this crucial stage of their development. Oh, if only it were that easy. It's not always easy to talk to your teenager, or for them to talk to you, but it is critical and may even be life-saving. This book draws extensively on hundreds of conversations that Fiona Spargo-Mabbs has conducted with young people and parents in focus groups and school and college workshops, to give a framework for tackling tough conversations about difficult things, without judgement or anger. It gives context and insight, based on the latest neuroscience findings on the teenage brain and, importantly, it gives hundreds of prompts and plenty of practical suggestions and strategies to make communication between parents and young people a two-way street that builds the foundations for a strong relationship with your adult child. Covering everything from the small stuff, like curfews and screen time, to the tough stuff of sex, self-harm and suicide, this is a warm, compassionate and important book that draws on lived experience and the lives of young people as they are, not as we think they might, or should, be.
