Product Description
Synopsis
Emily Bowyer is a normal, confident teenager - lots of friends, loving family and a good student. But beneath the surface she has a wretched secret. Because, for Emily, life isn't as much fun as it would appear. Her friends are going off her and her parents only seem to care about her troubled brother. Plus, she's expected to complete hours of homework, to excel in her exams, to be the perfect student. Tension, pressure, anxiety, anger and self-hatred. Where does it go when no one will listen? Emily has found a way to let it all out, a way to cope when life is overwhelming. But it is private. No one must ever find out. "Red Tears" is a shocking, extremely well-researched novel about a girl who self-harms. It offers a bold and candid look at a phenomenon that afflicts thousands of Britain's teenagers.

From the Author
I wrote this book for three reasons.

Firstly, I wanted to understand more about the self-harming 'phenomenon'
myself. I have never self-harmed, and I wanted to be able to understand why
so many people were resorting to such a destructive coping method.

Secondly, I was hoping that any self-harmers who read my book would realise
that there is hope - there is a way out. It doesn't have to be this way
forever.

Thirdly, I also hoped that non self-harmers would find this book useful in
helping them talk to friends or relatives who self-harm. Teachers too,
maybe, who deal with self-harmers more and more frequently, and who often
don't have enough knowledge on the subject.
detail why I wrote Emily's story. You can also send me messages through the
site.
