He finished the ghost story and watched as several of the younger campers huddled under blankets in groups of three and four. A wry smile came to his face as he stood and stretched out his legs. Andrzej Charron wasn't much older than the campers, but he was 16 and had attended Camp Jumping River for eight years, so he filled the requisites to be a "Teen Coun...
This essay contains my thoughts about people whose personalities overwhelm everyone that comes into contact with them. My example is a high school classroom, but my thoughts apply to any group—the workplace, a PTA meeting, an online forum for smut writers, for example. ***** It is hard to imagine that one teenager has the power to make or break an entire s...
