F*ck Your Statistics Shauna LaMore

F*ck Your Statistics is an inspiring narrative of overcoming adversity and subverting expectations. Based on the life story of Shauna L., F*ck Your Statistics chronicles the personal hardships she faced as a young woman. Many of which still impact young women to this day. Covering such topics as juvenile delinquency, teenage pregnancy, and the maternal mortality rate. F*ck Your Statistics encourages its readers to negate the labels others may place on them and become their own exception to the rules. Featuring the statistics directly correlated to each of the topics discussed, the book juxtaposes the expectations society placed on Shauna with her own expectations for herself and her future. Throughout the narrative readers are exposed to the unfair assumptions and options many young women face. A truly moving work, F*ck Your Statistics, shows how the only standards that can define us are the ones we set for ourselves.
