Josh's Story: From the Side of the One Who Bullies
Josh’s From the Side of the One Who Bullies
A powerful, eye-opening YA story about choices, consequences, and the road to change.
Most books about bullying follow the victim.
This one takes you inside the mind of the bully.
Josh Alberts has always been the all-star athlete. Popular. Talented. Untouchable.
Until one decision sends him to Creekside Juvenile Detention and forces him to face the
truth he’s been avoiding.
When devastating news reaches him inside the center, Josh’s anger explodes, and he
chooses the easiest Shawn Townson, his teammate’s younger brother.
But this time, the consequences hit harder than he expected.
Told from Josh’s point of view, this powerful short story
- why some teens bully even when they know it’s wrong
- how anger, insecurity, and pressure can turn into harmful behavior
- the emotional journey from denial to remorse and responsibility
Perfect
• teens learning about empathy and choices
• parents, teachers, and counselors
• middle school & high school discussions on bullying
• readers of The Way Series
Honest. Real. Transformative.
This story helps teens see that every choice has a consequence, and every mistake has a
path toward change.
This story is based on characters and storyline from The Way Series, a coming-of-age young adult novel series about the challenges teens face. It is a stand-alone story, but if you are reading the series, it fits well between book two, Shawn’s Way, and book three, The Streets Way.
