Thanks – we got it. We'll review and follow up if needed.
What does a teenage boy do when he has no friends? When everyone who knows him sneers. When he is laughed at to his face?
The answer is simple.
That boy chooses his own path. That boy makes his own way in life. That boy grows stronger.
He finds his secret place and there - alone, in the dark - he grows even stronger.
Ben Gardner is such a boy. Ben Gardner could be you...
