Request: Do any if you know good clean/ Christine reads for teens or web links set in France? I'm trying to write a Christian book in France but research is quite difficult for France for Christians 😒

Does it have to be only fiction, or can it be nonfiction as well? (I think for research, that would be more helpful anyway)

It can be for both
Having research for fiction is very useful as it does give a more realistic view to your story x

Then I would recommend reading , which is a true story (we actually know the family) about a little French girl who was abducted by the French government because her parents were Christians. It might give you some good insight into French Christians' lives, for your story :)

Yippee and thank you!
What's the name of the book?

Sos
Ignore that last message
I just saw the link 😂

Does anyone have any suggestions or tips for coming up with ideas for poetry? I only have seven poems to go until I hit my goal of 25, but I'm stuck.

Try thinking about maybe different ages and stages of your life, and what feels like to be at each one.
Like sort of how you did with Treefort.

Is anyone related to a police officer, or know a police officer personally? I know next to nothing about it, and I was wondering if anyone could give me some facts or interesting tidbits. I know that's pretty general, but I'm not sure if I can get any more specific. I guess I just want to know an officer's daily routine. Since my need for knowledge is so general, my searches on the Internet didn't result in much.

Does anyone have any resources on the difference between PTSD and complex PTSD? I read that the latter occurs more often when there's repeated/ongoing trauma (like in my WIP), while the former occurs after one event (like a car accident). But I honestly don't know how reliable that source was--and, even worse, the literal psychology teacher at my school had no idea! I respect her, but if she doesn't know, then IDK who would...
Thanks in advance for any help. :)

I don't have any reliable knowledge, but I would say that it makes sense for complex PTSD to occur after repeated trauma. I had never heard of that term before, however.

Here's a question for someone who's attended public private high school(or anyone else who knows the answer :P): are school activities--such as team sports--locked after school begins? In other words, can a student sign up for a team/club after school begins, and is there a deadline? As a follow-up question, have the rules been changed since the 1940's?

I was homeschooled but played public school sports and there is a deadline to sign up but it goes by season. So if it is a spring sport then there is a deadline sometime in the spring like a few days before the first practice.
I don't know how it was in the 1940's

Huh, interesting. That makes sense. But, yeah, I'm not sure if that would translate to over five decades ago. :P
