Stalking is a dangerous crime that affects an estimated
6.6 million women and men each year. Stalking is gen-
erally defined as a pattern of behavior directed at a spe-
cific person that would cause a reasonable person to
feel fear. Stalking is considered a crime under the laws
of all 50 states. According to the National Center for
Victims of Crime, as many as 1 in 4 women and 1 in 13 men have experienced
stalking victimization at some point during their lifetime and most often the
stalker is someone the victim knows, usually an acquaintance, relative, or a
current or former partner. Stalking is unpredictable, no two stalking situations
are alike.
Stalking behaviors can include:
Knowing your schedule.
Showing up at places you go.
Sending unwanted mail, email and pictures.
Calling or texting repeatedly.
Contacting you or posting about you on social networking sites
Writing letters.
Damaging your property.
Creating a Web site about you.
Sending gifts.
Stealing things that belong to you.
Any other actions to contact, harass, track, or frighten you.
If you or someone you know has been a victim of stalking
there are resources available. Contact the Siletz CARE Program

'Paper Tigers' chronicles a year in the life of Lincoln High School in the
community of Walla Walla, Washington. The kids who come to Lincoln
have a history of truancy, behavioral problems and substance abuse.
After Lincoln's principal is exposed to research about the effects of Ad-
verse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), he decides to radically change
the school's approach to discipline. With the aid of diary camera foot-
age, the film follows six students. From getting into fights, grappling
with traumatic events in their lives, and on the cusp of dropping out,
they find healing, support and academic promise at Lincoln
High.Written by Anonymous
