hen I was a teenager, my favorite book was called "The Adolescent Survival Bible," with topics ranging from how to deal with rejection to how to buy a used car. I carried that book everywhere I went until the binding cracked. There was never any one particular chapter or answer that helped me the most. It was the knowledge that there were other teens, secret seekers like myself, with the same questions and that there was someone out there who cared enough to take the time to notice us, to hold our concerns and to love us from behind our shadows.

If you are a secret seeker, then take some time now to answer any of the following questions, in 100 words or less, so that you, too, can be noticed. It is my hope, that in viewing some of these responses, we will each be able to see and hear an important piece of ourselves. For it is in hearing the hearts of others that we can learn to know our own.

Please give yourself a creative anonymous name, and tell me your age.

Thanks!
Scott
