Young Adult Authors Against Bullying

Carrie Jones (author of Need and Captivate) and Megan Kelley Hall (author of Sisters of Misery and The Lost Sister) have started a group on Facebook called Young Adult Authors Against Bullying.  These authors are taking a stand against bullying and encourage you to do so as well.  On the Facebook page you can share stories, connect with other teens and authors, and find resources to fight bullying. Bullying should not be tolerated and you can take a stand against it-for yourself and for others.  If you ever need a place to go or someone to talk to, visit the teen librarian at your Library.
