“Be normal, like everyone else! Don’t be a freak! Why can’t you do things like everyone else?". Teenager Lía wonders why people go through life thinking that some things are normal… when the truth is everything is weird. It leads her to ponder about her own life story and those of the people around her, as she wonders, too, about the meaning of life.

Until a few years ago, writing and publishing was reserved only for writers and journalists. Nonetheless, digital technologies arrived with the new century and the introduction of social media into the daily lives of millions of people has resulted in anyone being able to post all kinds of information, not always verified or based on reliable sources. Hardly a day goes by without the media denouncing this phenomenon. But what exactly lies behind terms such as “fake news” and “lying press”?
This book gathers the testimony of young offenders who've had to face the justice system from a very young age. This is Fred’s story, who ran away from his violent parents and was arrested for armed robbery at age thirteen; or Lindy’s, who had to take care of herself and her baby sister because their mother was unable to do so. Each story is different, but the circumstances are the same: orphanhood, absent parents, poverty, school absentism, addiction, or discrimination. This work reveals to us the debt that society holds towards the young people who commit crimes and teaches us how a simple act of affection can change the course of their lives.
