Rats & Bullies: The Dawn-Marie Wesley Story
Dawn-Marie Wesley, from Mission, British Columbia, Canada, was a student who committed suicide, after experiencing a cycle of bullying by psychological abuse and verbal threats from three female bullies at her high school.
She left behind a note to her family that referred to the bullying to which she had been subjected to: "If I try to get help, it will get worse. They are always looking for a new person to beat up and these are the toughest girls. If I ratted, they would get expelled from school and there would be no stopping them. I love you all so much." She committed suicide by hanging herself with her dog's leash in her bedroom.

And it was not a book to be read once and thrown aside, for it had a new story to tell every day.”
