Scary Transitions
I have worked a number of years with adolescent boys and girls who have been placed in residential facilities designed to help them with their problems.
This story is about a young man named Gary whose life is in transition. He has spent the last few years in hospitals and group homes, and is now on the verge of “graduating” from his current placement. Gary, who is turning 18, is about to “age out” and will either have to successfully “transition” back to the community or enter the penal or mental health communities as an adult.
Gary’s personality and experiences are a combination of myself and a couple of the boys I have worked with over the years. His sense of humor and attitude towards life is one that I have found in a number of the kids with whom I have worked.
