Happy 21st Birthday to A Remarkable Young Adult and Upcoming Young Author



Kristin Stattel is an amazing young adult that has been through the darkest of times after losing her mother to cancer when Kristin was only 14 years old and then being placed in several schools and programs while she tried to sort out her feelings of grief.

She boldly admits she has had her share of troubles, but rising above them all in her new and inspiring book - "It's All Good" that will touch the hearts of teens and adults alike.

Kristin is pictured here with my book which she felt has inspired her to open up and write her own story with the desire to help others, as Wit's End does- helping others through my own experiences.

Although Kristin has suffered in some "not-so-good" programs, as my daughter did, she believes without intervention her life, she may not be where she is today. In the end, the right program was found and gave Kristin the strength and courage to become the wonderful young adult she is today.

I believe people will be amazed with her writing and ability to bring you into her life and make you feel good and live life to the best it can be. Her constant in life is no matter what is happening is "It's All Good!"

Personally, Kristin is a very special person that has endured more than most adults have in a lifetime as well as overcome many obstacles that could have destroyed her. However she has prevailed with a positive outlook and an upbeat personality that continues to give to everyone that comes into her life.

Happy 21st Birthday Kristin!

The following list represents some of the most common conditions occurring on campuses globally, though by no means should it be considered a comprehensive glimpse at an issue far more broad and complex. Clinical Depression : At least 44% of college students have reported suffering from some degree of clinical depression — and the number only escalates from there as years tick past. Thanks to prevailing social stigmas regarding psychiatric help, only 23% of victims reported that they’d be comfortable discussing their treatment. Considering the amount of s...

  Searching for  schools for troubled teens online  can be tedious and confusing. If this is your first time searching for therapeutic boarding schools for your troubled teenager, learning the terminology will be one of your first lessons. 5 Tips to Untangle the Troubled Teen Industry Terminology “ My teen needs a Military school to teach them a lesson!”  WRONG. Military schools  are a privilege and honor to attend, they are not for defiant, drug-using, depressed, or other behavioral issues students. They do   not   provide mental health services – and if your teen is using drugs, drinking, or vaping now – by attending an open campus, it is likely s/he will consider the use again. However, this time when he is caught (typically three strike you are out) and the parents will forfeit their tuition.
