However, this is not merely a story but the actual story of Karen's years of bullying and torment at school. No child should have to go through this and the book is an attempt to address this and to show children the effect of bullying on the child who is being bullied.Wendy H.

Terrible, awful bullies who have incredible tempers that challenge the weak and make them rise the occasion. Such awfulness has an amazing ability to bring about greatness. If there had never been a Goliath, there never would have been a David. As I write this, it makes me realize just how important a darn good bully is in a story.

He is a smart, kind, good looking boy but still there are kids making him feel so small. <br /><br />I love that you stepped up and wrote your story Karen. That is a beautiful thing and more helpful than you might realize.<br /><br />Best wishes with this book!Brenda Perlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13082490921735156699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-134048480702711100.post-49929546527601521852014-02-15T22:27:11.835+00:002014-02-15T22:27:11.835+00:00Thank you Karen.

I want this book to reach children who are bullied, the bullies and the student body who stand by silently and watch the abuse. The student body is the solution for the victims. As a united group, they can change the dynamics of their schools and social circles. My story is available as a free eBook format through Smashwords and also as a free PDF download at my site slimyslimick.com. The Amazon link offers paperback and Kindle versions for a minimal price.
