A collection of essay by: Shane Dawson
----
From his first vlog back in 2008, to his full-length film directorial debut, Not Cool, Shane Dawson has been an open book when it comes to documenting his life. But behind the music video spoofs, TMI love-life details, and outrageous commentary on everything the celebrity and internet world has the nerve to dish out a guy who grew up in a financially challenged but loving home in Long Beach, California, and who suffered all the teasing and social limitations that arise when you're morbidly obese kid with a pretty face, your mom is your best friend, and you can't get a date to save your life. In I Hate Myselfie, Shane steps away from his larger-than-life internet persona and takes us deep into the experiences of an eccentric and introverted kid, who, by observing the strange world around him, developed a talent that would inspire millions of fans. Intelligent, hilarious, heartbreaking, and raw, I Hate Myselfie is a collection of eighteen personal essays about how messy life can get when you're growing up and how rewarding it can feel when the cleanup is (pretty much) done.

"The laugh cracked loudly into the school's atrium, like a shot of a gun. A quick bullet. A deadly bullet the pierces through flesh and bone. I realized then... that a laugh was as lethal as a bullet."
I thought bullying didn't exist.
And if it did, I wasn't a bully.
Except I was.
We all were.
Not because we beat kids up.
Or we called people freaks.
Or gave them swirlies.
Because we never did that.
It was because we laughed."
For these three kids, a playful laugh cuts deeper than a fist ever would. And the worst part is...they laugh along.
1.Eliza hides behind the brightest smile and stuttered words.
2.Reece desires the perfect body and will destroy himself to do it.
3.Hunter is the bad boy with sick suicidal jokes, screwing both Prozac and girls.
But it is more than just those three:
4.London sits in her wheelchair trying to be normal
5. Ashton needs to return to the surface of people and stop cowering in the digital world
6. Griffith hides his autistic emotions.
The story is told by a girl who always laughs.
Drama, love, pain, tears, laughter, depression, weaknesses. We all laugh. But what does our laugh truly effect?

This book deals with heavy topics such as depression, suicide, eating disorders, abuse, so read carefully.
I want to say some of these characters and scenes in the beginning are based on real people and real events, but some are not.
