![]() So when I realised that that was the kind of crap that 7 Days was trying to pull, I knew it wasn’t going to be the book for me. Bullying is disgusting, and has consequences, and I feel nothing – absolutely nothing – for bullies. Having a shit life is no excuse for bullying. You do not give someone hell because you might be going through hell yourself. You do not bring someone else down because you might feel like shit. You do not bully someone because of that. Full of pain and death and suffering of every kind on this planet. I do not care if someone has the worst life in the world. ![]() I have never liked the whole “bullies are victims too” or “bullies do it for a reason” or “bullies are just insecure themselves” thing. A hard-hitting and even-handed look at bullying and the issues facing teenagers today. ![]() Kez has plenty of problems too but she finds comfort in knowing she is better off than Jess – or so she thinks. Jess’s life is difficult enough without Kez picking on her – it’s turning school from a safe place into a nightmare. You won’t be able put it down until you’ve reached the conclusion. This bold, compelling and topical story about bullying is told from the perspective of the bully and the bullied. How: A copy of this novel was provided by Scholastic UK for review. ![]()
