Y'know,
one of the really hard things for me growing up was that I seemed to
be COMPLETELY ALONE in my difference --
no one else my age had Tourette Syndrome. Also, no one I knew had EVER
had it -- I had so many questions about
whether it would get worse, whether it would ever go away, whether girls
would ever like me (or what I could DO to get girls to like me!!), and
that sort of thing.
Lots
of grown-ups were around to tell me what to do but they just
d idn't understand. Other grown-ups seemed to really WANT to
understand -- they SAID they understood, and they would try to give
me advice, but as nice as they were I still wasn't sure if they really
"got" me. I wanted someone to talk to
who I KNEW was going through what I was going through -- that
was someone I could DEFINITELY take seriously because they had 'been
there, done that'.
Well, guys, I want
to do my best to make sure that you have that chance to hear
from people JUST LIKE YOU who have survived or are surviving growing
up -- they learned or are learning how to be happy and become
whatever they want, and they want to help you do the same with tips
they've learned because THEY KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE!
Here they are...
