"I came to Crossings not because I wanted to but because I was forced to by my probation officer. I hated the fact that I had to come. As the days went on I was kind of happy to be here. I‘m not saying it was easy, it was definitely not. It was hard to come into a group of people I didn‘t know who expected me to express my feelings to them.... I learned how to express my feelings in an appropriate way and communicate my concerns with other people maturely. My out look on Crossings made a 180 degree turn. I knew I was starting to like it. I was building friendships with girls and I made really good friends here." - 15 year old participant
