As an African American teacher, I know that I have reached just a few. But as an African American author, I know I can reach out to you and your friends. There is nothing wrong with you or the way you are doing things. Just know that we can all improve. We can all learn to be better. After working with teens and listening to their issues, I have learned quite a bit. I suggest that you READ THIS BOOK AND PAY ATTENTION!" BEST-SELLING BOOK FOR TEENS!
