About this work

Description

"In Vicious, teen writers tell about their experiences with bullying of all kinds: physical, verbal, relational, and cyber. The cruelty and hurt they experience are unmistakable real, and so are their struggles to protect themselves and their friends. Whether they were bullied, bullied others, or witness bullying, these writers’ stories are at times painful, often admirable, and always compelling for the resilience they reveal."-- Provided by publisher.
