The stories in this resource involve making choices, of one sort or another. Whether they are the correct choices is another matter. The following topics have been highlighted in the stories, sometimes as a specific theme, sometimes as one of several overlapping themes or ideas that run through several of the stories: bullying, friendship groups and inclusion, vandalism, delinquent behaviour (delinquent behavior), disability issues, being different, running away from home, race and prejudice, cheating, acceptance by the group, teenage pregnancy, alcohol abuse, first love, lying, problem relatives, getting your own back, drug abuse, loneliness and vulnerability, shielding others from retribution, the search for fame, using others, and antisocial behaviour (antisocial behavior). Each story is followed by activities and discussion, writing, and reflection sections.
