We are publishing a new book on Bullying. This will be a collection of essays written by teens from the perspective of the bullier, the bullied and the bystander. We could really use your help! If you or your friends have had any bullying experience, or if you know anyone in your school who has struggled with this issue, we would love to hear your story. It can be as long or as short as you want. It can be an essay or poem, and should be emotional, hard-hitting and specific. We are looking for insightful articles that will resonate with teens, and we are especially interested in articles on cyberbullying. The deadline for submissions is January 31, 2013. Here is a chance for you and/or a friend to get published in our next book. http://teenink.com/submit
