Jade: Strict Parents, Sex, and Religion
Jade has her feet planted in two very different worlds with very different rules, cultures, and expectations. Her experience is similar to many other teens of immigrant parents I speak with. Regardless of their nationality, they grow up first generation in the United States but are sometimes seen as “different” by their classmates and their community. They switch from acting one way around family and church to a different way when at school or with friends. Sometimes they become confused as to w

Faith: The Butterfly
Faith’s past experience with bullying does not define her, but the bullying scars go deeper than she wants to admit. As it was happening, Faith didn’t fully process the situation. She kept her emotions inside until she shattered nearly two years later. This is not healthy. Although her resilience is quite strong, no one could handle an issue like hers for much longer than she did.
Faith didn't have the right skills to deal with bullying – especially from a former friend. I’m guessing she was in

Ambush - by Tim O'Brien - Audio Recording
This is a quiet, ambient recording of an excerpt from Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried. It runs approximately 6:45 and contains some images of combat violence, as one would expect of a recollection of a Vietnam in-country tour experience.
This story is very useful for discussions of regret, universal theme, war, peace, and a host of other related topics.
Since the story is far from covered by the public domain provision, I offer it here free of charge with great respect to Mr. O'Brien and

Rolls for the Czar - by Robin Kinkead - Audio Recording
Robin Kinkead's classic short story of one man's life saved by his quick wit in the face of an insulted, enraged, powerful Czar. This story is very short (5:35) but can lead to good discussion about the commonalities that span from the rich to the poor, the powerful to the weak. We all have cravings, we all have loves, we all have fears. How does one get oneself out of a tricky situation? When is a lie NOT a lie? What is diplomacy and how does one practice it?
There are many roots of discussi
