i like this book

I really liked The Truth About Truman School is a good book because it teaches you about how people change and about not to cyber bully, Infact not to bully at all. One of the things I noticed was how quickly a good thing can turn into a bad thing, and about one decision ( for example, not taking something down from a website, ) can make a small little insult on the Internet,into a cyber bulling problem. The lesson I can take from this book is to be carefully what I say and do not only on the Internet, but what I say to people in person. This book is proof that the saying, " sticks and stones may brake my bones but words can never hurt me," Is NOT TRUE! So think before you speak and act.

#realisticfiction Each chapter of this book is from a different character's perspective telling the story of a school scandal. Two middle-schoolers have started a website where anyone is allowed to post anything, and they all do. It eventually becomes a place where one of the girls in school gets bullied.
