"This is my dirty little secret" a book about how we overcame. A picture tells a story, and this could be a very powerful story.

The concept of the book is each image is taken, a picture frame displaying in the foreground what the persons secret is. Behind the frame the person is shown, along with a paragraph over the image, telling the secret, and a short paragraph on what the image means, and how they overcame the secret that almost had them at the end of their lives.

Sometimes it is just that hand on the shoulder that can help a teen know that 'hey, you'll be fine, I know." With todays technology that hand should be easier acessed, but in many cases it's just that much further away. Bullying has now become faster spread and closer to home with technology, the biggest issue being that we still never talk about it with our children. We just assume that it doesn't happen to us, to them. The issue should, and can not be ignored, the book is aimed at helping parents and teachers broach the topic with the ones that are struggling with the pressure that is young life.

The book will be a minimum of 20 pages and will be printed as a hard or softback (depending on final count of pages) short print of 100 books.More books may be printed depending on funding.

Each book can be used by counselors, teachers and parents to help teenagers through their toughest years.

This is the project that was featured by the very talented writer of Dangerous Leanings.

A Blurb from the blog about the project:
"Whatever drives us to be so angst-ridden when we’re young, it’s often just an honest example of “hey, kid…I was there, and it’ll be OK” that can make a difference. I didn’t go so far as to court suicide, but it’s no exaggeration to say that high school was hell for me. I was bullied by every jock in that place, most of the cheerleaders, all of the smokers, and half the nerds. It was amazing to me at the time how that shit stopped almost cold once I got out of high school. I held on, and it damn well got better."
