The Dirties

I grew up in a small Wisconsin town in the ‘90s. Sixth grade was one of the hardest years of my life—poverty, class struggles, bullying, and betrayal by the those I trusted most. But it was also the year I fought back, found redemption, and learned humbling lessons about my own cruelty. This is my story, a real memoir of friendship, struggle, class, and what it means to rise in triumph.
