Based on true events, the story is told by Justin Bailey who recounts the traumatic occurrences that ultimately drove him to the horrific killing and its consequences.\u003cbr\u003e Justin is a seemingly carefree junior in high school where he is in the drama club and on the wrestling team. His free time is spent with friends and dreaming of pretty girls. Yet his life becomes increasingly complex as he encounters the unpredictable and volatile behavior of the problem-drinking bully. Along the way, Justin meets Maria, the gorgeous girl who becomes his first love, but trouble escalates when Justin's antagonist is attracted to her as well.\u003cbr\u003e \"Defending My Life: Surviving a Bully's Torture\" is an honest account of a maturing 17-year-old facing life, love, overwhelming fears and extreme guilt. He yearns for a \"normal\" existence following the incident but discovers that such a wish will only be achieved through tremendous mental struggles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-938450\"\u003eC.
