Download or read book Bullied written by Keith Berry and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-28 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this examination of the ubiquitous practice of bullying among youth, compelling first person stories vividly convey the lived experience of peer torment and how it impacted the lives of five diverse young women. Author Keith Berry’s own autoethnographic narratives and analysis add important relational communication, methodological, and ethical dimensions to their accounts. The personal stories create an opening to understand how this form of physical and verbal violence shapes identities, relationships, communication, and the construction of meaning among a variety of youth. The layered narrative describes the practices constituting bullying and how youth work to cope with peer torment and its aftermath, largely focusing on identity construction and well being; addresses contemporary cyberbullying as well as other forms of relational aggression in many social contexts across race, gender, and sexual orientations; is written in a compelling way to be accessible to students in communication, education, psychology, social welfare, and other fields.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People who think they know everything are not willing to change anything. Some people think that all they have in life is what is in front of them. So they settle. They stay weak. Looking at Mary Thompson, she has it all in tact; the perfect painted face, the perfect hairstyle, and is well dressed, however, underneath the woven layers, lays dormant, a killer of souls. He is all she knows, or is it? Mary Thompson never expected to grow up the way she did, abused, misused, and rejected around each corner. All grown up, looking in the mirror, is when her true enemy reveals himself to her. She discovers that he is her family's enemy too. Only Mary stands a chance of saving them from an eternal death. But can she save them? Can she even save herself from sliding deeper into a dark pit, only to have the enemy ravish her again? Will she have enough strength to carry that endless burden? Psychologically destroyed, unstable and inexperienced in the strategies of spiritual warfare, Mary stands on a thin line between fear and faith, death and life. Will the dark side's gauntlet of trouble and turmoil keep her in bondage? Or will the grace of God, and her prophetic dreams lead to her deliverance?
