Resumen del Editor

While growing up in the ’70s, Mark Edwards was surrounded by bullies. As a kid back then, you would eventually find yourself with older kids, whose only purpose was to threaten and pummel the crap out of you. All you had to do was to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. It was the age before political correctness and the peak of the bullies. They were everywhere.

In the first story, Mark is alone at night at one of his favorite hangouts. He sees some older kids and recognizes one of them from school. Mark decides to walk over and say hello. He unknowingly walks into a trap. His friend denies knowing him then threatens him. All the older bullies shout at Mark, “Get out of here before we kick your ass!” After hearing that, the pent-up fear inside Mark is replaced with rage.

My Boyhood Bully Diary is based on true stories. Whenever older bullies threaten him, Mark thinks about his older brothers, his backup. Can he find them? Will they help him? What will the bullies do, when they are met with equal brute force? Mark confronts uncontrolled emotions of fear, and then summons more courage and strength than he ever thought possible. Although he doesn’t know it, the things he needs to fight the bullies are the very same things he already has.
