Hej Grymma Värld - 101 Alternativ Till Självmord För Tonåringar, Knäppskallar Och Andra Utbölingar
Vad gör du om hjälpen du får från kompisar, föräldrar eller terapeuter inte har någon effekt, utan du fortfarande mår lika dåligt? Då kan det vara dags att försöka med några mindre accepterade metoder. Sådana som du får tips om i den här boken. Författaren Kate Bornstein har haft många skäl att ta livet av sig, men har valt att fortsätta leva, eftersom hon kommit på en massa saker man kan göra i stället. Det är dessa alternativ hon samlat i Hej grymma värld. Om de fungerade på henne, så kanske de fungerar på dig? "Jag har skrivit den här boken för att hjälpa dig att fortsätta leva eftersom jag tycker att världen behöver fler snälla människor, vilka de än är. Världen blir friskare tack vare sina utbölingar, utstötta, knäppskallar, queera och syndare. Jag passar själv in i alla dessa kategorier, så det spelar ingen roll för mig om du gör det eller inte. Kanske är det här en hemsk tid för dig, och i så fall så hoppas jag att jag kan hjälpa dig att fatta nytt mod." Kate Bornstein SAGT OM BOKEN "Kate Bornstein är ute efter att försöka rädda tonåringar, men om hennes bok hamnar i fel händer, så kommer den oavsiktligt att rädda en massa vuxna också." Carol Queen "Genom att ställa sig skuldra vid skuldra med marginaliserade och förtryckta tonåringar ser Kate Bornstein mobbarna rakt i ögonen och visar oss hur vi ska lyckas stå emot dem. I stället för att proppa texten full med statistik och psykologisk jargong använder hon humor för att krossa de isoleringens och skammens murar som ofta förknippas med självmord. Denna 'verbala ögonkontakt' är revolutionerande och kan förändra livet." Sara Quin i förordet OM FÖRFATTAREN Kate Bornstein är en av USA:s mest originella författare och performanceartister. Född till ett kön men nu med ett helt annat, identifierar sig Kate varken som man eller kvinna. Hennes böcker Gender Outlaw: On Men, Women and the Rest of Us och My Gender Workbook: How to Become a Real Man, a Real Woman, the Real You, or Something Else Entirely har bidragit till att revolutionera vårt sätt att se på kön och identitet.
