Words are powerful. Not only do they have the ability to damage ones self-esteem, but they can also heal.
TEEN INK, BULLYING UNDER ATTACK is an eye-opening anthology of all three players in the bullying cycle. These conversational essays on life as the bullied, the bully, and the bystander provide insight and inspiration for change. Rather than offer a cumbersome psychological breakdown, this graceful and hard-hitting book places the reader firmly in the shoes of all involved. Whether it's race, weight, or jealousy, there are a myriad of reasons WHY, and this startling compendium of personal stories conveys the complexity and nuances of what it means to be bullied. Stories of regret, promises, and encouragement show how words and actions can provide strength and reassurance to others and ultimately help them find their voices in order to break the cycle for good.
