Stand Strong: " You Are Your Shield"

Stand Strong: You Are Your Shield
A True Story of Survival, Strength, and Self-Respect

Bullied. Beaten. Ignored. Told he'd never amount to anything.
Peter Sheridan grew up without a father, with asthma, and with a target on his back. School was a warzone. Authority figures looked away. Teachers became tormentors. Violence wasn't just in the playground - it followed him home.

But he didn't stay down.

Through grit, instinct, and the fire of martial arts, Peter transformed himself from a silent victim into a world champion fighter, respected security professional, and proud father. In this raw and powerful memoir, he shares the battles he fought - in the streets, in the ring, and within himself.

Stand Strong: You Are Your Shield is more than a survival story. It's a guide for anyone who's ever felt powerless. With brutal honesty and rare heart, Peter offers real-world advice for young people, parents, and anyone standing up to bullies - including how to rebuild your confidence, find support, and fight back with purpose.

If you've ever felt alone, broken, or ready to give up - this book is for you.

Because you don't have to be saved.
You just have to stand.
