À propos de cet audio
An astonishing memoir for the untold number of children whose lives have been touched by bullying. Positive is a must-listen for teens, their parents, educators, and administrators - a brave, visceral work that will save lives and resonate deeply.
Paige Rawl has been HIV positive since birth, but growing up, she never felt like her illness defined her.
On an unremarkable day in middle school, she disclosed to a friend her HIV-positive status - and within hours the bullying began. From that moment forward, every day was like walking through a minefield. Paige was never sure when or from where the next text, taunt, or hateful message would come. Then one night, desperate for escape, 15-year-old Paige found herself in her bathroom staring at a bottle of sleeping pills.
That could have been the end of her story. Instead, it was only the beginning. Paige's memoir, co-written with best-selling author Ali Benjamin (The Truth About Jellyfish), calls for listeners to choose action over complacency, compassion over cruelty - and above all, to be Positive.
Paige continues to speak publicly about HIV and bullying, participate in conferences, and contribute to advocacy projects in and beyond her home state of Indiana. Paige has served as an ambassador for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. She hopes that her continued work in this field can help change the way her generation thinks and talks about HIV/AIDS and bullying.
To all HIV-positive youth, Paige consistently affirms, “You are living with HIV, but HIV is not who you are.”

Thank you for sharing your story!
I don't know when I downloaded this audiobook or how I even found it. It has been sitting there in audible for a very long time and I didn't think I was ever going to listen to it. I put it on today for background noise. When I first started it, I didn't think I was going to enjoy it as much as I did. Memoirs are not my cup of tea, normally. I learnt a lot from this memoir and I must say that Paige is so very strong to survive all that she had been through at such a young age when no one was on her side except her mom. Her school failed her, the adults in her life that were supposed to be there for her and help her through all of it, they failed her. She still came out on top. I am jealous of her courage, her thrive, her tenaciousness. She kept on going doing the things she loved like cheerleading and pageants. Even though she was hurting so much. Having teenagers myself, and a younger son that struggles with his disability, his self image... it breaks my heart to know that he needs those adults in his life to be there for him, and I hope that they always are! Thank you, Paige, for sharing your story and thank you for using your experience in a positive way to help other people, to educate people. Just thank you!
