4Q 4P J S. Eighty teens shared their stories about the pain of being bullied, the guilt of witnessing and staying silent, the shame of realizing how they hurt so many for selfish reasons. Their stories make for a powerful and intense book that cannot possibly be read in one sitting. These stories speak what truly needs to be heard. Here are some of the teen contributors' words: "The bullying didn't happen because I was being singled out, and that's the most damaging part about it. I was interchangeable with all the other invisible kids." "Desperate to find a way to deal with the bullying, I decided to become a bully myself." " . . . as I picked up my papers, I saw that someone had written on them in big, red letters, 'If you come to school tomorrow, I will go to your house and kill you.' 'I will choke you in your sleep.'" "It is the subtle form of bullying that empowers people to commit hate crimes." And it goes on, in many powerful statements that readers need to read, and all people need to hear. Along with these stories, the book includes a forward by John Halligan whose son Ryan committed suicide because of harassment; a preface by Lee Hirsch, the writer and director of the film Bully; an introduction by the founders of Teen Ink and Teenink.com, Stephanie H. Meyer and John Meyer; bullying resources; and information on each of the story contributors.--C.J. Bott. 264p. VOICE OF YOUTH ADVOCATES, c2014. |
