Blog postImagine what it is like to be just 14, but have suffered abuse at home, being told that you are not wanted, or realizing that the streets would be safer than sure injury from someone in your family. Imagine being too young to get a job or a place to live, but having to live on your own. For a shocking number of kids in America, this is reality. In fact, there are approximately 1.7 million homeless teens in the US and an estimated 39% of the homeless population is young peopl

Blog postGrowing Up In Stop Six My name is Christopher, and I’m a student at Jacquet Middle School. Growing up in Stop Six is like having heaven and hell coming together as one. There is good and bad in this community. Nothing is perfect. I moved from one side of Ramey to the other, and to me they both are the same. So I didn’t understand why people say Stop Six is a bad place when it’s not. We some times have community cook outs and car shows. Even though at some of our community events people don’

Blog postMy name is Love, and I’m a student at Jacquet Middle School. When I joined Writing for the Soul Workshop, I simply wanted to learn how to make money promoting my story. But when I was offered an Internship, I realized that I could do so much more to help kids like me that have experienced hurt and pain in their life.
I was born with Gastroschisis, which made it pretty hard growing up. Everyone made fun of me because I don’t have a belly button. It was also really hard growing up with -

Blog postCan you imagine what it would be like to grow up with the constant threat of death in your neighborhood, or the stress of being surrounded by violence and loss? What if I told you that almost one in four children in the United States today are in home situations just that stressful? That almost 50% of our children will experience at least one adverse childhood experience that impacts their ability to learn? Children that have these experiences have higher risks of long-term diseases, s

Blog postNever Give Up This night changed my life. I remember it like yesterday. It was a Saturday night around 12 pm when my mom comes home and she’s really drunk. She goes into my sister’s room and then started fighting and screaming. They started hitting each other. Me, I was in my room praying to God that nothing bad happens. When they stopped fighting , my sister comes into my room and she starts crying so I started crying too. She dials 911. I was telling her not to do it, but she didn’t think

Blog postMan, I LOVED being outside. What my elders used to say, “Out there in those streets where you ain got no bitness bein.” From nine years old, the earliest recollection I have of my childhood, you couldn’t tell me NOTHIN. Hell yeah, I loved being in the streets where I was jumped at least once a week by the neighborhood boys, mad because I would refuse to have sex with them. Hell yeah I loved the streets, where old men who KNEW I was underaged, offered to take me home. Yeah man, I chose the str

Blog postProduct of my Environment Truth be told, I don’t want to say that I’m just like you because we’re all different and unique in our own way. Honestly, some have said that I’m worse than most. They’ve said things like, “Jerel, you’re possessed by demon.” or things like “Death is following you.” In my youth I fused with these destructive thoughts in my mind. I believed that this is what my life was supposed to be like. I have a few memories of a time when I was like you. But that was befor

Blog postNo Child is Born Bad I was born into a single mother family, just me and my mom. I was always alone. Alone to deal with my traumas by myself with no guidance. Life put me through the ringer very early in life. At the tender age of just four-years-old, I was two feet tall. My feet were 6 inches in full length, my hair short and very blonde. I never grew out of my big brown eyes. I still had a mouth full of baby teeth -chompers that couldn’t cut through steak. I was the kind of child that l

Blog post“I am dedicated to enlightening adolescents and youth about the consequences that mischief can cause at an early age, and everyday I work hard to deter juveniles from facing the same pitfalls that I experienced as a youth.” -Eric Jones, TGIM CEO and Creator of Writing for the Soul Workshop
There is no easy solution to the social problems faced by our communities today, especially problems that lay deeply rooted in ignorance and systemic injustice. These problems cannot be a -
