With a plunging reputation and enrollment rate, Saint Michael's has become a crumbling dumping ground for expelled delinquents and a haven for the stridently religious when incoming freshman Peter Davidek signs up. On his first day, tensions are clearly on the rise as a picked-upon upperclassmen finally snaps, unleashing a violent attack on both the students who tormented him for so long, and the corrupt, petty faculty that let it happen. But within this desperate place, Peter befriends fellow freshmen Noah Stein, a volatile classmate whose face bears the scars of a hard-fighting past, and the beautiful but lonely Lorelei Paskal --so eager to become popular, she makes only enemies. To even stand a chance at surviving their freshmen year, the trio must join forces as they navigate a bullying culture dominated by administrators like the once popular Ms. Bromine, their embittered guidance counselor, and Father Mercedes, the parish priest who plans to scapegoat the students as he makes off with church finances. A coming-of-age tale reversed, Brutal Youth follows these students as they discover that instead of growing older and wiser, going bad may be the only way to survive"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a High school students $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Catholic high schools $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Bullying in schools $v Fiction. 650 0 $a School violence $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Maturation (Psychology) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Psychological fiction. 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 gsafd. 941 $a 4 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012024402.0 952 $l MMPE553 $d 20180719042251.0 952 $l NEPC953 $d 20180714033615.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20140904010906.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7E4EE3741F8A11E4970098BADAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
