Dear Leroy: Forgive the Bully, Follow Your Bliss

By Oliver Luke Delorie

After dropping out of high school early one year - due to extreme bullying - my cousin Bonnie lent me her guitar. Over the summer I learned how to express my thoughts and feelings with words and music, and eventually taught myself how to write and record simple songs. Through this process I believe I empowered myself with what I call Creative Confidence... When I returned to school in September I was bully proof!Dear Leroy: Forgive The Bully, Follow Your Bliss is based on my metaphorical journey from vampire victim to vampire slayer (the book is rife with monster references) and ultimately promotes creative expression, higher education and DIY entrepreneurship as effective solutions to bullying.This book offers a playful-yet-powerful solution to bullying, based on the author's life experience and trademark approach called "Creative Confidence".
