Author Angie Thomas: I was bullied a lot
US author Angie Thomas reveals she was bullied at school but managed to survive thanks to the support of her mother and grandmother.
She tells ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Hardtalk's Stephen Sackur that children need more adults who will listen to their concerns: "When it comes to bullying, I was lucky because I had adults who were listening to me."
Thomas writes about the issues of race and racism, and the gap between US’s promise of equality and the reality of entrenched discrimination.
