One of our most successful repeat BYH authors had an interesting comment:
"I am glad I may have inspired others to tell of their BY High experiences. You almost need to become a kid again mentally, in order to have the courage to admit to actually being one once. That can be very hard after you have spent a lifetime finally becoming a mature and responsible adult.

"It is really good therapy for the mind, however, because those high school years may be the last time that society allowed us to really be ourselves, and not so politically correct and structured."
