Dear Bully (2011)
You are not alone.
Seventy authors tell their stories. Today's top authors for teens come together to share their stories about bullying - as silent observers on the sidelines of high school, as victims, and as perpetrators - in a collection at turns moving and self-effacing, but always deeply personal.

William Trevor is truly a Chekhov for our age, and a new collection of stories from him is always a cause for celebration. In these twelve stories, a waiter divulges a shocking life of crime to his ex-wife; a woman repeats the story of her parents’ unstable marriage after a horrible tragedy; a schoolgirl regrets gossiping about the cuckolded man who tutors her; and, in the volume’s title story, a middle-aged accountant offers his reasons for ending a love affair. At the heart of this stunning collection is Trevor’s characteristic tenderness and unflinching eye for both the humanizing and dehumanizing aspects of modern urban and rural life.
