YANA: You Are Not Alone

By Amy Klco

When Jacob writes a note threatening his teacher, he doesn’t mean for anyone to find it, especially not the teacher. But Ms. Birch does find it and turns it in to the principal, not because she is afraid of the threat to herself, but because Jacob also threatens to take his own life. Now, Jacob is facing expulsion and Ms. Birch is left wondering how to tell Jacob that he is not alone.
