This book fills that gap by exploring the experiences of youth who identify or are identified as \"queer.\" Based on interviews with recent high school graduates in British Columbia, these researchers provide stories of physical, verbal, and emotional harassment in this group and offer insights into the negative outcomes that result from the experience of being bullied. On the other hand, however, these young people were not helpless victims: many learned to rely on resistance, inner strength, and true friends. In the last chapter, the authors make recommendations for handling homophobic and transphobic bullying in high schools and supporting students who experience this form of harassment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRebecca Haskell\u003c\/b\u003e holds a master`s degree in criminology from Simon Fraser University. \u003cb\u003eBrian Burtch\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor in the school of criminology at Simon Fraser University and an adjunct professor in the department of justice studies at the University of Regina.
