YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

Stine turned being the "funny guy" into the best defense against the bullies in his class.

Today's top authors for teens come together to share their stories about bullying—as silent observers on the sidelines of high school, as victims, and as perpetrators—in a collection at turns moving and self-effacing, but always deeply personal


Review:

There are a lot of different stories/letters in this book, and I am not going to review each and every one of them.

All I am going to say is......

For you who has been bullied, then it is important for you to read this book. It will give you the knowledge on how to handle bullying and give you the knowledge that others have been through the same thing.

For you who have NOT been bullied, this book will shed light on what some people go through while being bullied and why it is so important to stand up to bullies even if you are not the one being bullied.

And for you who are the bully. You also should read this book. This book will give you the knowledge of how much bullying affects people, and will also give you stories and letters from authors that have bullied/watched as someone was bullied that might be good for you to read.

Everyone needs to read this book to UNDERSTAND. Whether you are the bully, the person who is being bullied, or the person who is standing by and watching it all.
