Behind These Eyes: A True Story

A brutally honest account of exactly how bad teenage rebellion can become. It wasn't supposed to be like this. Things weren't supposed to go this way. It doesn't fit anywhere in my life. I wasn't meant to be the kid who is feared by his mother, by his friends. I was the good one. The "straight A-yes, sir-no, sir-please-thank you" type of kid. I was the one who got awards, the one in school being recognized for perfect attendance and good grades, the one who played the piano in church, the one whose mother praised and bragged to her friends about. Now, this terrible thing has interrupted my life. It has crawled its way in and destroyed everything that had once been perfect.
