Bodart includes chapters on parents, siblings, and other family members who mistreat the weaker ones in the family; school personnel who step outside the boundaries when they interact with students in damaging ways; adult criminals or predators who look for young people to ensnare; and teens who bully others in order to hide their own fears and weaknesses. In addition, she will provide a chapter on the real-life monsters portrayed in nonfiction titles for young adults (such as Jaycee Dugard's A Stolen Life), who are just as frightening and far more dangerous than those who are fictional.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joni Richards Bodart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1442230819\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781442230811\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.20w x 1.10d","brand":"Joni Richards Bodart","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47425263763711,"sku":"9781442230811","price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9d5894ec-ebe1-4775-9faf-a0cc004db0a4.jpg?v=1761538061","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/they-hurt-they-scar-they-joni-richards-bodart-9781442230811","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
