<strong>The</strong> Bully in the Mirror<br />

Because he's a perceptive kid, Alexander recognizes how feckless, how<br />

disturbing, how crazy this all is. "I tell you, it's definitely distressing," he said,<br />

"the fact that as much as girls get this anorexic thing and they're going through<br />

these image things with dolls and stuff, guys are definitely doing the same."<br />

True, he admitted, his social life has never been better. "But in a way it depresses<br />

me," he said, before heading off to a party, "that I had to do this for people to get<br />

to know me."<br />
