Hey, my name is Stevenson, and i'm from NYC. I enjoy writing stories.. I just finish writing a short story and i wanted to know if anyone wanted to read it. If so, leave your email address and i'll send it to you. Thank you, and here's a brief summary of the story
Joey: A 16 year old kid with the thought of mind of Holden Caulfield and the slick mouth of any lonely teenager searching for acceptance. After Joey’s mom hits the lottery they move to Laguna Beach, California, or as Joey would say: “the place where Satan’s children reside”. While enjoying the Laguna Beach party life, Joey needs more, so he convinces his mom to send him to Africa: “To find the meaning of life and all”. While rooming at J.Danjis: A boarding school in Africa, Joey meets some questionable people and teachers who are sure to map out the real question of why Joey is so angry at the world. Taking a page out of J.D Salinger’s: Catcher in the Rye writing style and the sleek references to pop culture. He never heard her whisper is a sure bet when it comes to adolescence and rebellion.

The synopsis definitely is interesting, i can understand Joey's need to leave the glittery falseness of the indulgent Laguna Beach elite. Going to Africa provides the contrast needed to the give the story interest and drama, hopefully there his mentors provide the nectar needed to quench his rebellious thirst.

That's pretty vague. What IS he angry about? You didn't actually mention that Joey was angry at anything, just that he didn't like California.
Is this a kind of Rights of Passage/Teenager Angry at the World kind of thing? It's very hard to do, especially if you ARE a teenager since you can't define anything objectively.
Still, I'm glad there are still people who are trying to write. It's better than people who try to become famous simply by being famous.
