A book that became a movement.
A story that became a mission.
Bullying didn't just change my life - it tried to destroy it.
The Year I Was Bullied is my true story.
A year where:
- My voice was shut down
- My self-worth was ripped apart
- Adults looked away
- Silence became the weapon used against me
I survived the words, the isolation, the fear - but too many don't.
This book is not about reliving pain.
It's about breaking the silence that keeps students trapped in it.

Author's Note
I was bullied.
I was silenced.
I was ignored.
But I lived.
And now I speak for every student still trapped in the darkness I escaped.
This time - the world will listen.
- Carl Gravely
