About the Book

Throughout the book you are about to read, there is the prevalence of a character named Jack. There are all Jack poems, pictures of him, and the book is even named after him…yet who exactly is he? Is he real? Who is Jack?

Well, Jack isn’t real, but he is completely inspired by real people. Jack is the embodiment of everyone who contributed in writing this book. Jack represents everything about us…our personalities, our labels, our problems, and our experiences. We are all completely different in every single way possible…from our friends, style, personalities and even our writing styles…but we needed some way to link us all together. So then Jack was born.

There is a part of all of us in Jack…he is the jock, the nerd, the quiet one, the princess, the overachiever, the loud one… We chose Jack to show everyone who reads this, that high school isn’t all that bad and that you will eventually get through it, and you might actually have some fun.

We all went through high school the hard way…being completely clueless and just learning by our mistakes. But you now have advice from the people who know it best…the people who actually lived it. Jack is here for you…We are here for you.

But be forewarned…if you are looking for a book that is sugarcoated, stop reading now. This book is as real as it gets. There are things in here that some people have revealed for the first time. These are the words of high school students who have lived through it, and this is how high school was for us, in our eyes. This book provides the most honest insight into what high school is really like. This is the truth, the reality of high school.
