Outstanding Australians on Hard Lessons Learned at School
edited by Fiona Scott-Norman
One of the most difficult things about being bullied is
the feeling that nobody else knows what it’s like.
Twenty-two of Australia’s most talented and successful people know exactly what it’s like.
In candid and entertaining interviews, leading lights
from across Australian life recount how they were bullied and shunned at school just for being different. Not only did they survive the ordeal but their experiences
helped shape them into the remarkable individuals they are today.
