The privilege of youth

Tear jerker

Continued great story for Dave Pelzer. Must read if you have read the other books.

Adversity creates greater strength

It was all I could do to pull through the first book, "A boy called It." I had a few restless nights--most books do not make me cry. I almost put it down, but I'm glad I made it. I went through some ordeals myself, in a large and broken family by the age of 10. Today I cannot see how so many older people who surrounded me depended on me so much when I was so young! But, some people are just caretakers. I, however, was only threatened, by my own mother, to be put in foster care, if I did not conform to her demands. Unfortunately (?), foster care never happened for me. I felt that "The Lost Boy," despite it's brief account of David's travels (320 something pages), was all we needed or were meant to know. Books, even factual ones, are meant to beguile and send the reader on their own personal travels. The Lost Boy was certainly deep enough to see David's early mistakes in foster homes--but his "mistakes" were only in the sense of innocence, lack of knowledge, and growth yet to come. David went from a completely unsafe life to short-lived comforts and insecurity. Some people, whose young lives were filled with adversity, like David's, or mine, or others, find adulthood a fulfilling and wonderful chance to mend and enhance others lives. I cannot wait to read A Man Called David, and how he came to talk about his son, Stephen, and himself, as a family. I wonder what became of Stephen's mother....

The Privilege of Youth book review

The Privilege of Youth by Dave Pelzer,is about Dave Pelzer's life as a teenager.Dave tells in the book what he went through as a teenager.He didn't fit in with the others around him because he was different.He also got beat up a lot for that same reason, because he was different.Dave had a hard life, but later on in his teen years his life began to get easier.
The Privilege of Youth was an excellent book.I liked the book a lot because Dave got beat up a lot because he was different from the other students around him.Also he didn't know what the "slang words" meant cause he never really had the chance or enough confidence in himself to make friends to find out what those "slang words" meant.He finally found a home where he could feel comfortable and belong.He also makes two friends.Those two boys actually made him feel like he was someone and he belonged.
I recommend this book to anybody over the age of 15 or anyone who is mature and likes books by the author Dave Pelzer.

Help Yourself Before It's Too Late...

This is not your everyday novel. This is a novel full of real-life advice that can help you prepare yourself for real-life challenges.
Dave Pelzer thought that he could help teens get through tough situations just like the ones he went through. He felt that no one deserved to be treated the way we was treated no matter how troubled the child is. He goes on to share all the tips that he discovered during his own personal experience.
The way that Dave divided this book helped me to see all the different "steps" and "parts" of the book. He divided it into three sections: Dealing with Life; Choices you make now and where they can lead you in your futute; and Personal Resolve.
