From A Child Called “It” to The Lost Boy , from A Man Named Dave to Help Yourself , Dave Pelzer’s inspirational books have helped countless others triumph over hardship and misfortune. In The Privilege of Youth , he shares the missing chapter of his life: as a boy on the threshold of adulthood. With sensitivity and insight, he recounts the relentless taunting he endured from bullies; but he also describes the thrill of making his first real friends—some of whom he still shares close relationships with today. He writes about the simple pleasures of exploring his neighborhood, while trying to forget the hell waiting for him at home. From high school to a world beyond the four walls that were his prison for so many years, The Privilege of Youth bravely and compassionately charts this crucial turning point in Dave Pelzer’s life and will inspire a whole new generation of readers. Review: This is an actual account of David Pelzer's life. - I had read the first book( A Child Called It) to a Special Ed student to whom I often read books. That was several years ago while I was working at the local high school. I reread it and was curious to find out how the rest of his story turned out, so I purchased the other three books. It's hard for me having raised my three children by myself to comprehend how a mother could even come up with the ideas this mother came up with let alone implement them. I'm glad he got his life straightened out. Review: What an inspirational man and father. - I have read "A Child Called It" several times throughout my life. The horror and pain he had to endure no human should. However, his sequels have showed how a person can rise above their raising and still be a good, wholesome, compassionate, and awesome member of society. It delivers the message of strength, resilience, and hope. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #76,308 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #108 in Abuse Self-Help #1,499 in Motivational Self-Help (Books) #1,974 in Memoirs (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,122 Reviews | ## Images ![The Privilege of Youth: A Teenager's Story - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ummtv3xiL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is an actual account of David Pelzer's life. *by L***N on October 24, 2019* I had read the first book( A Child Called It) to a Special Ed student to whom I often read books.

That's about all you can say about the entire series of books by Dave Pelzer. I have an adopted son who's had some problems in his life. We bought all of these books, read them, and had him read them. I can only say that every one of us got a great deal out of them all. In fact, they are so awesome that suggested them to all of the other teachers at my school and even read them to my 6th grade students. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/4145194-the-privilege-of-youth-a-teenagers-story](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/4145194-the-privilege-of-youth-a-teenagers-story) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-06*
