OBJECTIVES

 

“The Dark Voices” is a must-read for both victims and bullies alike as it uncovers the toll that bullying takes on innocent lives. I hope that bullies will understand the implications of their actions and also realize the permanent scars that they leave imprinted in their victims’ lives. Victims would easily be able to relate to the central character, a typical teenager, and thus be more informed grappling with their emotions and also on how to seek help. 

 

I also hope to open the eyes of both youth and parents, through this book, to the dark world that lies beyond the physical acts of bullying- eating disorders, depression and suicidal tendencies. 

 

I hope for this book to be an empowering statement to victims of bullying- that there are others out there, once in the same shoes, who have successfully battled bullying and depression. I also hope to inspire other teenagers around the globe to share their personal battles against bullying so that more anguished voices can be heard and we can together stop the dark voices from tormenting others.
