Read August 1st - August 6th Death is peaceful, easy, but life is harder.” Daelyn Rice is a living example of this. All her life she has just wanted to die. After many suicide attempts she wants to finally be done with it. You may thinks she is some type of psycho, but she isn’t. Just like millions of kids out there she has been bullied and she is done with it. On top of that she is a mute, meaning she can’t talk. Also, she has to wear a neck brace. The bullying has gone beyond verbal. It has reached a sexual and physical level, but she can’t tell anyone because she’s afraid of what will happen. There is only one hope and it’s a website called throughthelight.com. It’s a website for people deciding to commit suicide where they can blog everything that has happened to them and find affective ways to cut their lives short. There, Daelyn tells all about her bullying stories and much more. The only problem is since her last two attempts to kill herself her mom and dad are tracking everything she does. Santana is his name. The boy Daelyn is afraid to let in. The boy who doesn’t know it, but he just might save Daelyn’s life. Before You Read This I’ll Be Dead is an amazing book that really enlightens you. Julie Ann Peters did and awesome job of writing this book and making me, the reader feel connected emotionally. I couldn’t help how much I wanted to keep reading this book. The theme really taught me a lot, such as it’s never too late to let someone in and to be grateful for the life you have. Daelyn couldn’t help what was wrong with her, but she continued to get bullied until she was at the end of her rope. I mean, why does it have to come to somebody killing themselves for other people to see what they did was wrong? Millions of children, teens, and adults commit suicide everyday because of bullying. I highly recommend this book to all ages of people who need to see that bullying does have an affect on a person and like to read realistic fiction. This story isn’t one that would never happen. This kind of stuff happens on a daily basis. You can be the change in this world and not be the bully. It’s never too late to save a life.
