GROUNDBREAKING ANTHOLOGY GIVES VOICE TO THE LIVES, RIGHTS AND
ISSUES OF BULLYING VICTIMS IN AMERICA Editors, Ifalade Ta'Shia
Asanti and Azaan Kamau are proud to announce the publication of the
most highly anticipated anthologies of the decade. Why a Letter to
a Bully? Every day in America, 160,000 students miss school due to
bullying. According to reports by the Secret Service, two-thirds of
school shootings are motivated by bullying. A whopping 43% of
middle school children avoid the bathroom and locker rooms at all
costs due to certainty of being bullied. And finally, the number
one reason for suicides among youth ages 11-16 is bullying. Glover
Lane Press' historical anthology, Letters to My Bully, not only
gives victims of bullying an outlet to express the impact of
bullying in their lives, contributors speak on solutions to the
problem and offer healing advice to survivors. Letters to My Bully
is a thought-provoking collection of letters, poetry and essays
written by youth, women, men, seniors and celebrities that will
change the way this country views survivors forever. "As a survivor
of bullying, I wanted to do a project that would not only help
victims heal but would help to educate the masses on how serious
this issue is. I define bullying as abuse, mistreatment, torment
and harassment by peers, classmates, neighbors, the congregation,
siblings, parents, boyfriend, your spouse, etc. This is an issue
that America must make a priority as it relates to social justice
and peace movements." Says Glover Lane Press publisher, Azaan Kamau
"Letters to My Bully is an excellent tool for ministers, teachers,
community leaders, parents, teens and youth to educate those around
them about the dangers of bullying. Until everybody, everywhere is
addressing this issue in some form, it will continue to plague our
great nation." Says Ifalade Ta'Shia Asanti Letters to My Bully
includes contributions by Actor, Robert LaSardo and Huffington Post
writer, Kergan Edwards-Stout, as well as more than a dozen other
best-selling, nationally celebrated writers. There are also pieces
written by child survivors and senior citizens. Letters to My Bully
is proud to be supported by national Peace Partners who have
committed to ensuring the message of this anthology will reach the
masses. Letters to My Bully edited by Ifalade Ta'Shia Asanti, Azaan
Kamau and published by Glover Lane Press will be released by August
15, 2012. Purchase Letters to My Bully at: http:
