Share a Story.... Divert a Path

Share a story with us.....make a lasting difference.

Welcome to our blog.
We are two brothers who are working on a project.  Not a school project just a project that we thought would be helpful to teens.
Here's how this whole idea started.
Our parents tell us stories from either their lives or about events that have happened near us.  A lot of the stories they have told us have really bad endings and it's really sad.  Our parents told us they don't tell us these stories to scare us, they just want us to know how quickly things can happen in teenagers life that may not only hurt them now but might have very bad effects on their lives for a long time.   Many of these negative outcomes came from making a SPLIT SECOND decision.  Sometimes these decisions were made too fast, and others were made without thinking twice about the potential outcome.  Sometimes, we can't even believe that some of these events actually happen but they did.  We thought every teenager should hear these stories and maybe if they find themselves in these situations they might PAUSE before they do something that might have a very bad ending.  Once we collect 100 stories, we are going to put all of the stories into a book and share them with teens all over the United States.  We're also collecting "good outcome" stories.  These stories are where teens make a decision to do something based on something they saw turned out really well for someone else.  See our blog for two sample stories of what we are looking for.
