ABSTRACT

Comments and actions from others can have devastating long-term effects. Therefore, this script can be very powerful when working with children who have been bullied or abused. The script can also help those who may be experiencing some difficulties around their sexuality or gender identity, or who have developed eating problems. The script initially tells the story of Leah and Malik, two artists who struggled with different issues in their childhoods and early adulthoods, but eventually achieved their ambitions. Therefore, the central theme is about not giving up but having determination. The author have included three additional scripts, which can be used to address how the child views him/herself; to work on self-esteem and to believe in themselves. As their art work started to sell, Leah and Malik began thinking about packing in their part-time jobs. They decided to rent a building, where they could open an art gallery.
