Teen Talk: Embracing One’s Identity in Today’s Times

What teen has never felt pressured to conform to the ways of their peers? There may be one or two who come to mind, but most battle with getting in where they can fit in.

Teen Talk: Embracing One’s Identity in Today’s Times was penned by teenagers from all walks of life. On the pages of this book, they share compelling stories of overcoming issues with academics, promiscuity, bullying, peer pressure, suicide, and more. Each contributor worked diligently to bring to the reader situations common to today’s teen experience. No two stories are alike. However, there is one commonality:

They chose to speak up!

Therein lies the purpose of Teen Talk: to give a voice to those things that are often suppressed, forcing our youth into a place of silence. Silence leads to internalized torment. Torment leads to depression. Depression leads to suicide. That adverse chain of emotions can have a tragic end, but it doesn’t have to be that way. The only silence that should be a part of anyone’s life is telling the enemy-Satan-to SHUT UP!

Be encouraged and empowered to SPEAK UP! These teens did it, and you can, too!
