The unapologetically real stories from my teenage years.

This is for anyone who needs to hear:

You weren’t broken, you were adapting.

And baby, adaptation can be unlearned.

Healing is not canceled.

Hope still got your address. 💛

What to do after reading

After reading these posts, I want people to pause. To sit with what they felt instead of rushing to judge it. I want them to look at teens, especially the “difficult” ones; with more patience, curiosity, and compassion.

I hope they reflect on their own teenage years and offer themselves grace where they’ve been holding onto shame. If something in these stories mirrors their own pain, I want them to know they’re not weak, broken, or alone, and that healing is still available.

Most of all, I want readers to respond differently: speak up sooner, listen longer, love louder, and intervene with care instead of punishment. Whether that means checking on a teen, starting a hard conversation, seeking help, or simply choosing empathy, do something that breaks the cycle.

Read it… feel it… then move with intention.

That’s how stories turn into change.
