“It turned into this dark thing where I was using my pain as a party favor.”

In 2018, Aaron Stark’s story of rebirth captivated the nation when his TED Talk entitled “I Was Almost A School Shooter” went viral.

Aaron details how his traumatic childhood introduced him to a life of self-destruction and low self-esteem.
