High
school means a whole new world. Yet, for Alex Starkey, pimples,
discovering one of his buds is a real girl now, and an older brother
using him as his favorite tackle dummy are tiny problems. What gets
Alex's temper simmering are his inits. Surviving his freshman year
without diving into deep trouble seems impossible.

Note from the Author
This
is a story that was with me for a long time, a story begging to be
told more and more each day. Many, many people have been bullied.
Most of us survived and went on to have useful lives, but we will
always remember those who pushed us around, physically and mentally.
We
stood up and walked away. The bruises weren’t always visible, but
they were and are there. We remain quiet when harsh words are spoken
… walk away when others begin conversations that make us feel
uncomfortable. One and all, we dream of the day when bullying will
stop.
Some
of us are around to share our stories. Others could no longer handle
what was said or done to them. How do you stop a bully? Words?
Actions? Treat them as they do you? There is no perfect solution, yet
we can never stop standing up against these people.
