智课网TOEFL备考资料中学生应当如何应对欺凌行为一托福阅读机经背景 In her non-fiction best-sellers, Queen Bees Wannabes, and Queen Bee Moms Kingpin Dads, the educator explored the way adolescent girls relate to the world and how parents relate to their teenagers. 她撰写的非小说类畅销书《 蜂后与跟屁虫》和 《 蜂后妈与王者爸》，探讨了青春期女孩适应世界的方法，以及父母如何和自己的青少年孩子相处。 Wiseman continues the conversation about teenage bullying in the form of a young adult novel, Boys, Girls and Other Hazardous Materials, which deals with best friends, high school, loyalty and doing the right thing. 现在，她又利用她的专长写了一部关于好友、高中、忠诚和规矩的小说。在小说《女孩 、男孩和其它有害东西 》中，怀斯曼继续谈到青少年欺凌问题。她解释了她这次把这个问题写成小说的原因。 Ironically I discovered, which many authors do, that you can really speak about the truth much more easily in fiction than you do in non-fiction, says Wiseman, explaining why she decided to write fiction this time around.

Her neutral stance doesn’t really look neutral. It looks like she is siding with the girls who were being mean and racist. 怀斯曼说：“她们被安排同住一个房间，查丽的两个朋友开始恶待、欺负尼迪，原因是她们希望邀请男孩子来这里，而尼迪坚决反对。当时的情况非常糟糕，查丽什么都没做。她的中立立场看上去一点都不中立，反而象是和那两个恶劣并有种族偏见的女孩子站在一边。” High school gives Charlie a chance to redeem herself. 高中给了查丽一个救赎自己的机会。 She meets
