True-life bullying tales by schoolboytales

A collection of real-life, first-hand accounts of school humiliations and general cruelty in schools across the world, drawn from years of research (talking at length to actual victims and bullies). Discover the real-life inspiration behind my fictional stories.

Just Anorexic by xdollpalace

What will she choose, take the highway and get it over with or wait for cancers reign to kill her? Re-writing chapter 15 as we speak.

His Name Is Michael by Almie610

Update: The first rule of writing is to follow through and edit later. I discontinued this book because it was not well written, it was not planned out, and it was not consistent. Therefore I will continue to write it, for the sake of completion and giving Michael an end (in more ways than one) I will finish this. This book is no way indicative how the official rewrite will occur/end. Thank you, dear reader, for entrusting this lonely writer with your imagination and motivation. Enjoy. ORIGINAL NOTE: This is a Discontinued series only because I am in the prospects of rewriting it. This is attempt 5 at writing the book and will live to show the progress in my writing.
