Dear Bully, edited by Megan Kelley Hall and Carrie Jones



The whole point of this book is 70 authors write a letter to their past bullies. It shows what has changed these peoples lives by bullying. If you have never been bullied before, this book is a real eye opener.  No one ever realizes how people can get hurt by just a simple joke. Some of these letters are also past ullies apologizing to their past victims. Its so hard to realizes how someones life can change just by one little thing that happens in grade school. although this book doesn't really have a plot, in a way it does because the readers realization of the nation wide problem grows throughout the book. when we get lectures in school about bullying, we don't see how it hurts people because we cant see a real point of view, this book changes that. We can really see how the issue affects everyone, even 20 years later.

Question 3: book structure- This book is in the first person. it starts off as a summary of what bullying is and how much it happens, then turns into a series of letters that will never be sent to a past bully or victim

Question: how has the book changed me- I was teased a lot in elementary school but I never thought much about bullying till now. I now know how it feels to be afraid to go to school everyday, to hate yourself, to wonder why you deserved it. Now I know the relentless power of bullying
