My urban high-school journalism class provides cutting-edge personal narratives on teenage pregnancy, coping with parent on drugs/in jail, sexual abuse and dealing with parent murdered...all the issues that students on my campus experience, yet administrators want to censor in the newspaper. Luckily, I still have my job! My students produce an eight-page student newspaper six times a year with a focus on writing personal narratives and journalistic style writing primarily on educational issues. Students readers have responded in amazing ways to students' personal narrative, opening up to the writers and sharing their own struggles with sexual abuse, depression, a murdered family member,etc.
