Summary

Ezra Caine is a Grade 11 high school student who happens to be gay. He’s sort of out at school but not at home, where he fears his father’s bigotry would be his undoing. When Ezra's flamboyantly out friend Alex Mills takes one too many beatings from school bully Will Severe, Ezra finally snaps. Fed up with the homophobic tensions at school, he decides to do something about the situation. 
With the help of best-friend-for-life, Nettie, along with some rather unlikely allies, Ezra rallies to create their small-town school’s first gay-straight alliance. The Rainbow Alliance Club is formed. 
But the changes don't come without hiccups. The biggest of these hiccups sends Alex to the hospital as he attempts to destroy the homophobic Will Severe with a scandal he himself created through a questionable gay dating app he shouldn't have even been on. 
Along with these struggles, though, come several signs the group's efforts might just be the catalyst for change they desired. As Ezra and his friends attempt to sway the school into an alliance of tolerance and acceptance, Ezra experiences a few surprises of his own on the home-front. He also learns the hard way that friendships out of convenience aren't always a good idea, just as some enemies might not be as bad as he originally imagined them to be.

    HOW TO ANALYZE PEOPLE WITH DARK...

    While Psychology is the study of human behavior and is central to our thoughts, actions, and interactions, the term Dark Psychology is the phenomenon by which people use tactics of motivation, persuasion, manipulation and coercion to get what they want. 
    Dark psychology is the science and art of mind control and manipulation. If psychology refers to the study of the behavior of humans and focuses on actions, interactions, and thoughts, dark psychology is a phenomenon where people use tactics of coercion, manipulation, persuasion, and motivation just to get the things they want.  
    There is such a thing known as “The Dark Triad” that pertains to what psychologists and criminologists identify as the easy way of predicting not only criminal behavior but also broken and problematic relationships.  
    The traits included in the Dark Triad are the following:Machiavellianism - The use of manipulation to exploit and deceive people with no sense of morality.Narcissism – It involves lack of empathy, grandiosity, and egotism. Psychopathy – Usually friendly and charming but is characterized by remorselessness, lack of empathy, impulsivity, and selfishness. 
    No one wants to be manipulated but the sad news is that it can happen pretty often. You might not be the subject to a person who belongs to Dark Triad. However, average people encounter tactics of dark psychology every single day.   
    These strategies can often be seen in online ads, commercials, sales methods, and even the behaviors of superiors at work. Parents of kids, specifically teens, will most definitely experience such tactics as their children start experimenting with behaviors to seek autonomy and get the things they want. The truth is that dark persuasion and covert manipulation are typically used by those people that you love and trust.
