Pick Up Names Will Never Hurt Me Constructed By Jaime Adoff Conveyed In PDF
book was was just amazing, One of the main characters, Kurt, was just so relatable for me, The Adoff is a very good job depicting just how terrible high school can be, The only complain I have is that we never got to know what was in Kurt's gym bag.
During one day at school, the paths of four teens will cross in ways they never imagined, There's Kurt, the "freek" who tries desperately to escape bullying Tisha, who doesn't feel she fits in with anyone Ryan, the football jock who rules the hallways while losing control of his life and Floater, who uses his connections to gain dangerous power.
On this day, teasing, racism, loneliness, and secrets bring each of them to the breaking point, Now they must help each other prevent a tragedy, The voices of these four teens weave together in prosepoetry to create a powerful read, I read this book in three sittings, It was a very intense book, Set in a high school I know there is a pattern forming for me! it's aboutyoung people who are bullied, how they handle it, how their lives are intertwined and how it all ends in a fury.
When I got near the end I just could not stop reading, It showed how many forms of bullying our kids endure in school today and what it does to them.
In the book the bullying not only came from other students but students were manipulated by adults which, in turn, precipitated other forms of bullying.
This was fiction but I could see the scenarios in real life in my high school, in your schools.
This is a must read for anyone with children in school as far as I am concerned, The ending left me in shock, mouth agape and with much concern, Can I see this happening to students that I already know YES! And that is the scarey part.
This book was better than I thought it would be, Its told fromhigh schoolers povs, The story deals with bullying, blackmail, insecurity, violence, namecalling, sex not explicit and so many issues that teens have to face.
I thought it tastefully handled these issues, I would recommend it to teens, especially those who dont feel that they fit in, When several different classes high schoolers, with messed up aspects of their life, all get connected through one events how will that change their lives To be as desecrate as possible, thats basically the plot, but more interesting.
Would recommend to read Change toth grade only:
Offscreen sex but an allegation of rape
Several Fbombs amp other profanity
School shooting amp threat
Extreme bullying
Talk about an intense read this one was.

are considered freaks and razzed to breaking point,is a jock who has an overcontrolling dad and one who uses his weazley smarts to put himself at the top of food chain rather than the bottom of it.
The story rotates between allas they tell you their thoughts and actions in first person.
How they're dealing till it all comes down with an unexpected climax, You'll be stunned on how this story ends, but the 'how' Aint coming from me, You have to read it for yourself to find out, I know I'm being a shit, but that's how my reviews roll, It's to entice you to read it, Not spoil. This story takes place one year after a school shooting at Rockville High when a student was killed.
It focuses on four students: Ryan Duncan, the quarterback Kurt, an "outcast" who loves loud music and does his best to avoid bullies Tisha, a biracial girl who gets picked on because she doesn't know if she "wants to be black or white" and Mark a.
k. a. Floater, the principal's snitch.
The novel takes place in one day and a lot happens in thathours, This is a young adult novel and is a quick read, You know something is going to happen before the final bell, What does occur rather surprised me,
I will recommend this novel to students, At first I found it boring, but as the story unfolds, I wasnt able to put the book down.
Great ending! i thik this was a really good book, it opened my eyes to how rough some people have it! i think anyone should read this book, especially the tough ones.
a story of bullying in high schoolstudents are followed in this book, showing the many different sides, and the negative aspects of its results.
Good/sad This novel takes place during one day, the one year anniversary of a school shooting that left one student dead.
Told through the perspectives of four students, in a semijournal entry format, the reader sees how the shooting and its anniversary affected the town and how such an event could happen.
Three of the students are part of the outcasts, Kurt, known at school as "freek" is made fun of every day, and uses his music to retreat.
Tisha, is put down by both the black and white girls because she does not fully belong to either group.
Floater, a self chosen name, was picked by the principal to be his eyes and ears, Even though he is still not accepted, he is mostly left alone, because he holds a power over the other students.
The fourth perspective is Ryan, a senior football player and sometimes bully,
I loved this book, and think it is one that every high school student should read.
Along with the perspectives of those being hurt, we see what leads to the hurtful actions of others and how far those effects reach.
This novel doesn't sugar coat how teens feel about and react to teasing and abuse, which I think is the most important aspect.
The entries all could have been written by high school students, They express the wanting to fit in, fear of failure, and general confusion that is characteristic of being a teenager.
Also, they show how teenagers can have those "moments of clarity" when the stakes are high enough, and do the right thing despite the potential social consequences.
This is a theme I find refreshing in young adult literature today, giving teens credit for what they can do.
The setting of the book is nondescript enough that it could be in any suburb, and the lessons apply to teens at any type of school.
The characters are each someone that you probably pass every day without realizing it except for Ryan, By the end, I either loved or loathed each character, but I did not feel apathetic towards any of them, and I wanted each one to get what they deserved out of life.

I really liked that it challenged assumptions along the way, as well,
I would have liked to know, however, what Kurt had in his gym bag, . . I found this book interesting and fast paced, It focuses on the reality of high school life, the cliques, bullies and the relentless sress of being targeted by the gatekeepers of popularity.
The style is unique, poetic and spare, This supports the fast pace, The story unfolds through the voices of four characters, Sometimes it is not immediately clear which one is speaking,
The angst,the emotional rollercoaster and the violence create a flavor that is authentic high school.
Interesting book. I wish there wasnt as much strong language, Written like a form of poetry, names will never hurt me is filled with tension and keeps you wondering how it will end.
It follows four different students during a day at school, Each character is written in the first person with intersecting stories,
The day is the one year anniversary of another student's death on campus, None of the four really knew the student, but the import of the day nevertheless has an impact.
Kurt, Tisha, Mark and Ryan range in the pecking order from greatest to least and don't appear to have anything in common.
Except for the day.
names will never hurt me builds to a taut crescendo, its foundation is bullying, worship, rascism, invisibility, attention and desire.
The end is as satisfying as the beginning and the middle, Bonus Yup. A question that doesn't get answered,

On this fateful day, those four students' lives changed, some for the better and others not, This book by Jaime Adoff is a great read, and the points of views, different stories, and the way they tie together makes this book feel so real, yet whimsical.
This story had a lot of twists and turns that I had not expected, Reading this book, I thought the characters would all become close and help each other up, but did not turn out that way.
The fact that it had characters so different and unique to each other made me think that the characters would become friends and share their struggles.
I was surprised to see that they had hardly interacted until around the end of the book, I wasn't sure if I was disappointed that they didn't end up friends with each other, or if I was happy because of the different ending, but despite that, I enjoyed the book a lot, although it was sometimes hard to determine who the speaker was when alternating points of views.
I liked the setting and the very busy atmosphere, and I also liked the subtle split of high school stereotypes.
This book really captured the feelings of how different students feel in their lives,
All in all, I enjoyed this book and I think many others would find it interesting as well.
This reminded me a lot of my high school days, Simliar to the Breakfast Club, only in print form, it followsstudents The golden boy, the "freak" boy, the Biracial girl who doesn't fit in, and the schemer with delsuions of granduer through their school day on the anniversary of the murder of another classmate.
As events spiral out of control throughout the day, they're all drawn together for a quite climactic ending.
I was left wondering one thing though, what the heck was in Kurt's gym bag!,
