I know that I have never been bullied before, but I know a few people that have. And this is why I have written this modern, funny-but-serious anti-bullying story.
As you are about to find out, your actions always have their consequences, and that's what the lead main character, a young man who thinks bullying is cool, is about to find out.
According to the website dosomething.org, in my country, the United States, 1 in 5 students ages 12-18 has been bullied during the school year. Plus, approximately 160,000 teens skip school because of it. Also, the students who reported that they were frequently bullied scored the worst in reading, mathematics, and science than their peers who had never or rarely been bullied.
The most commonly reported form of bullying is verbal harassment at 75%, followed by social harassment at 50%, physical bullying at 29%, and lastly, there's cyberbullying at 25%.
So this is why my sister and I have co-written the story you are about to read. And I hope the message that this story carries is passed on. Because bullying is not cool. And if you are or were a bully or the victim of one, I encourage you to read this story, because I would like for you to step into the shoes of the victim, a young lady who loves anime.
Enjoy!
