In this book Beautiful Music for Ugly Children there is a guy named Gabe, who actually use to be Elizabeth Williams. He tells us about the struggles hes had to endure during his experience in high school. Such as being called names, and being bullying for his sexual preference.In the second chapter on page 26 says " i hear a snicker and a LESBO! from the back of the room as i slouch my way up there." a prime exmaple of her getting verbally bullied at times.
I can relate to this because i am a highschooler, and sometime i find myself in the same kind of predicament. i don't get talked about for the same reasons as Gabe does but sometime kids at school will talk about the way you look, or how you do certain things. Gabe deals with it by just reminding himself mentally that hes a senior and soon he'll be out of high school. I do the same.
