In real life: When bullying becomes an everyday reality

Life doesn't ask questions. Niels does. (Unfortunately for him.) The questions are spinning through his head. Why did he have to have his legs broken in several operations, and still can't walk properly afterwards? Why does no one want to talk to him on the playground? Why does he have to take pills that make him wet his pants? Why do bullies bully him? Why did he lose that important World of Warcraft battle last week? (But we're not going to talk about that, there are limits!) Life doesn't ask questions, Niels knows best. So he escapes into gaming, where words can do magic. Where he can walk and even fly. Where the good win and the bad die. Until real life catches up with him. Because a person only has one life. Or not? With a foreword by Marc Herremans. NIELS VAN BAELEN is 24 and thinks a lot about life: about the power of words, about how your body can be your greatest enemy, about falling, falling again, swearing a lot and then getting up again. In real life is based on his life story.
