PROLOGUE

Fourteen.

It was the summer I turned fourteen.

For a few more weeks, I was thirteen — still a child in every way. Then, just after my late summer birthday, life shifted in ways I wouldn’t understand for decades. That summer would change us all.

My friends and I filled the days with pools and bike rides, sleepovers and craft projects, mall trips and whispered talk about boys. That was small-town Arkansas in the summer — simple, ordinary, everything. We were happy.

We were innocent, standing on the edge of high school, trading middle school games for whispered secrets. A trio of quiet girls, convinced we were ready. Ignorance really was bliss.

We thought we knew everything. A game of M.A.S.H. could map out our futures — husbands, careers, mansions on hills. We already had lists of baby names. Prince Charming was waiting, smart and handsome, loyal and romantic. We believed in fairytales and thought the world was ours for the taking.

What we didn’t know was that summer would set the course for everything that came after. The dominoes had already begun to fall, and the weight of those years would scar us in ways we couldn’t yet imagine.

We were children. Clay waiting to be shaped. And the hands we trusted most — parents, teachers, pastors, neighbors, even friends — would fail us. Some by what they did. Some by what they didn’t.

Life was just beginning.

We were on our own.

We were fourteen.

I've just gotten around to watching Wednesday. Oh gods, she's me as a teen, only more typical coloring. But the deadpan lines:

"What you need now is--"

"A bullet in the head."

Yeah, that was me as a teen. Wearing black to the prom while every other girl there except my buddy wore white. Yeah. Mom tried to get me to wear red.

My mother must never watch this show.

Teen Trauma: How it Affects your Child and How to Spot and Address it Properly

Emotional and psychological trauma results from extremely stressful circumstances that have broken your adolescent's feeling of security and made them feel helpless in a frightening world. Traumatic events frequently involve a threat to one's life or safety. Still, any scenario that leaves a person feeling overwhelmed and alone, even if there is no physical injury, can be traumatic. One-time incidents such as an accident, an injury, a natural disaster, or a violent attack can produce emotional and psychological stress. Continuous, unrelenting stress can also produce emotional and psychological trauma, such as coping with sexual harassment at work, living in a crime-ridden neighborhood, or having a chronic medical condition. The blog is aimed at people who want to understand how trauma affects teens to address it. Only by facing teen trauma can it be repaired.
