Every day, all over the country, teenagers struggle with the
realities of bullying. Tormented, ridiculed, and beaten—simply for being
who they are—these teens face alienation, humiliation, and even the
explicit assertion that they have somehow brought this upon themselves,
that they should just blend in. Bullied is a series of short
stories exploring the world of these teens from several different
viewpoints: the victim, the bully, the gay bystander, the straight
friend, the concerned parent. Closeted Bryan wonders why Christian Michaelson doesn't just try to
blend in if he hates being bullied so much. Star athlete David isn't a
homophobe—after all, he's not afraid of anything. Jonathan, a Christian
fundamentalist, must weigh the Bible against peer pressure and what he
knows is right when he discovers his childhood friend is gay. Bully
victim Chase Devereaux finds an unexpected ally in a brave fellow
student. A single mom struggles to accept the reality that her only son
is gay. Two tough gay teens are forced to confront their own inner
demons when tragedy befalls a classmate they failed to help. And
overweight Kirby finds the strength of character to make a friend, which
leads to a lifestyle change and a chance at love. Each character grows
as an individual as he or she comes to terms with what it means to be a
gay teenager in America.
