TRUE LIES is a book that attempts to counter the culture and the lies that the media is sending our young generation today, messages about sex, substance abuse, violence, and suicide. These "lies" as Chalmers calls them are having a major impact on today's young people, as they begin to believe these lies as truth. The effects are evident, with the high rates of suicide, violence, homicide, self-abuse, sexually transmitted diseases, and a general feeling of hopelessness among young people today. Chalmers not only dismantles these lies, but also addresses other important topics that are close to his heart, like bullying, crime prevention, and internet safety. Chalmers passionately addresses these lies on a level and in a way that teens not only understand, but more than that, are moved to want to make changes in their lives.
