Meet Brady Jackson. He’s a 16-year-old junior at Washington High School in Harborside, Virginia. He’s your average high school student. He has trouble with his parents, worries about his looks, has problems with his best friend, and can’t strike up the nerve to ask his crush to homecoming. You might think Brady is a fictional character confined to the pages of this book but think again. Brady represents all teenagers fighting their way through the real world. His problems are relevant to teens across the globe. As I was planning this book, I made a list of the ten issues I would address. After I was done I was worried because I didn’t think a teen could have this many issues swirling inside their mind. Then I thought back to my high school days, which were not too long ago and realized we had all these issues and more. Ten issues are probably half the amount of things teens deal with on a regular basis. While teens are viewed as free spirits sometimes, they deal with issues that are real and can sometimes bring that spirit down. The high school years are some of the most memorable experiences of a lifetime and while this book highlights issues and suggests ways for dealing with them, it does not guarantee the issues will disappear. They never have and never will. In fact, as we get older, the issues multiply! I intend this book to be an outlet for teens in all walks of life. My goal is for someone to pick up this book and say, “Wow, I’m going through that. I’m glad someone else understands.” As I was doing research and trying to awaken the inner teen, I spoke to a group of students at Chiefland High School. I promised they would be in this book if they helped me out. I posed a simple question to a group of 60 students, “What are some issues teens deal with?” Their responses led to a 20-minute discussion that felt like someone opened the floodgates. Hands were going up all over the room, and the students were more than willing to share their thoughts. I felt as though they were looking for an outlet to express their feelings. An outlet they couldn’t get from friends or family because no one was willing to discuss these issues. They gave me some great insight into what teens are dealing with, and I guess you could say Brady Jackson was born that day.
