The news felt like a physical blow. James stared at the headline: "James’s Journal Jitters: A Teenager's Tale of Turmoil." His stomach twisted into a knot. He wanted to throw up.

He felt a primal urge to protect himself, to hide. The article was a betrayal, a violation of the most intimate space. The author had taken his thoughts, his feelings, his private self, and presented it to the world.

He stood abruptly, his chair scraping against the floor. He paced the length of his room, his frustration mounting with each step. He had to stop this.
