Tears of a Teenager

by McGee

Overview

Life in New Orleans is nothing short of that old cliché "by the age twenty-one, a black kid in America, will either be dead or in jail". At sixteen years of age, Sy' Bastian fights the temptation of becoming his father, a drug dealer, a killer, an absent father. He must grow up fast, in order to help his mom and sisters, survive the next day. He has two choices, stir away from the horrors he sees, or follow in the same footsteps that abandoned him years ago, just to live in peace.

About the Author

A New Orleans native, I knew what I wanted to be at the early age of 6, whatever involved my father. Despite the spotty presence, every time we did get to spent was the best. I grew up knowing that it was my job to hold the family together. This story is a piece of my life, that I haven't shared with many people. Being the eldest of 13 brothers and sisters, I knew I could not fail, AT ANYTHING. This is my story, this is their story, this is your story, this is our story.
