Ruby McAllister has a reputation as her school's outspoken feminist rebel. But back in Seattle, she lived under her sister’s shadow. Now her sister is teaching in underprivileged communities, and she’s in a Florida high school, unsure of what to do with her future, or if she’s even capable making a difference in the world. So when Ruby notices the new girl is being forced to cover up her chest, she is not willing to keep quiet about it.

How to Successfully Offend Every Person in the World
Author: Daniel Drake
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
Let's talk about stupid people. You know it. I know it. Stupid people ruin the world with their passive brains, and the most ridiculous notion about them is that they don't know they're stupid. People say that we live in a society, but a society is a wonderful and harmonious thing. We live more so in a segmented world with a mob mentality. The mob is destructive and they anchor us down in a philosophical standstill because they fear drastic change in the opposite way. Although not written to be personal, offense will be taken (practically guaranteed), because nothing hurts more than the truth. This book will delve into the topics of porn, career failure, media addiction, perceived racism, Internet dating, how your relationships crumble, and why you absorb the pain that you do. This is humanity witnessed in its awkward and un-sugarcoated form.
