In recent years parents and teachers have become increasingly concerned about bullying in schools, and bullying has attracted significant attention as people seek explanations and solutions. Despite this attention, there is little discussion about homophobic and transphobic bullying in Canadian high schools. Get That Freak fills that gap by exploring the experiences of bullying among youth who identify or are identified as queer. Through interviews with recent high school graduates in British Columbia, Haskell and Burtch share stories of physical, verbal and emotional harassment and offer important insights into the negative outcomes that result from being bullied. Challenging the familiar image of these youth as helpless victims, this book also recognizes positive outcomes: moments of resistance, friendship and inner strength. Taking the lead from the youth, the authors make recommendations for challenging homophobic and transphobic bullying in high schools and for supporting students who experience this form of harassment. In this engaging and enlightening book, youth share their feelings of rage and hurt, joy and triumph, as they reminisce about the experience of being queer in high school. Book jacket.
