BEYOND BRUISES: THE TRUTH ABOUT TEENS AND ABUSE by Sherri Mabry Gordon

This book explains all about abuse. It lists the many different kinds of abuse and what to look for if you think you're being abused, or if you think someone is being abused. It explains the many kinds of abuse (Physically, Sexually, Verbally, and Emotionally). This book also features a story about 15 year old Melanie who was being abused which leads into an explanation about what abuse is and what to do to help.

I gained a lot of knowledge from this book including what abuse is, how you cope with it, how you can tell someone is being abused, the effects of abuse and your options to help stop someone who is abusing you or someone you know.

This book is helpful to anyone including someone who is being abused, and someone who knows someone who is an abuser. It gives information on what to do and how to help, and can be a great resource for anyone.

Recommended for grades 9-12 and adults.
