Bullycide by Rachel Louise Finn

This poetry collection focuses on the subject of bullying and suicide hence the title. The collection tells many devastating stories of lives lost due to suicide and how bullying as a child can affect you for you whole life. I personally felt compelled to read this and related hard to a lot of the poems and emotions felt really hit with me after being bullied growing up, it's tough how it echoes through your life and trusting others still doesn't come easy, I know for me too I had suicidal thoughts and often saw no escape from it, teachers unwilling to help or knowing what to do to stop it. The poems honour the young children who lost their lives in various ways as well as those of us coping with scars years on. A really sad but necessary read that schools should use to educate how bullying can lead to such tragedy.
