Publisher's Synopsis
Bullied: Dying to Fit In was nominated and received the Advocacy/Social Justice Award for the 2019 In the School Library Journal/ In the Margins Book Award.
Each year, approximately 4,400 children commit suicide due to bullying. 'Bullied Dying to Fit In' is every bullied person's story and needs to be heard. Will you listen? The book captures the raw emotional side of bullying. Though everyone's bully story is different, the pain felt is the same. The broken-heart tells the tale. "Raw. Real. Emotional." 'Bullied Dying to Fit In' takes the bullied, the non-bullied and even the bully on an emotional roller-coaster of tears, insight and triumph through prose, poetry, illustrations, wisdom and guidance. For Teens, Parents, School Counselors & Teachers. If you found 'milk and honey' and 'Pillow Thoughts' to be deep and full of emotion, then 'Bullied Dying to Fit In' should be next on your 'must read' list. "In the Margins strives to find the best books for teens living in poverty, on the streets, in custody - or a cycle of all three. Our charge is to seek out and highlight the best fiction and non-fiction titles (Pre-K through adult) of high-interest appeal to youth ages 9-21 living in poverty, on the streets, or in custody, with a preference for marginalized books (small, independent press or self-published). Youth feedback is a critical factor in both book nomination and selection."
