70 authors contribute stories to this anthology about their experiences with bullying as victims, bullies, or observers. Normally for anthologies I go through each story separately, but I’d feel weird about doing that with this book since these are all personal stories the authors are contributing...

As a person who was bullied in junior high, these stories were not shockers. However, they were very poignant and moving and remind us that bullying is far too common in our society.

I love that this anthology exists, but I'm surprised it's taken this long. I'm surprised that bullying still exists, that it still hurts, that it still causes those scars that we can and can't see. Every classroom in the world deserves a copy of this book.Better yet, every kid deserves a copy of thi...

The suicides of gay teens that led to the It Gets Better campaign gained an unearthly amount of publicity, and teen suicide cases gain attention anyway because of the tr...

A MUST read for everyone whose every been the victim of a bully or worn the mask of one. Thank you to the authors who were brave enough to share their stories. While I don't think bullying will ever completely go away, as long as there are broken and wounded human beings walking this earth, I do t...
