Too fat. Too slow. Too different.
Since childhood, Jean has heard these words - in the schoolyard, in the street, in the eyes that look away.
At fifteen, he carries an invisible weight heavier than his own body: the crushing gaze of others, the daily humiliation, the silence that slowly becomes a prison.
Locked in his room, cut off from the world, he survives through drawing and the few rare souls who dare to truly see him - a kind neighbour, a perceptive teacher, and Chloé, whose friendship will change everything.
The Way Others See Us is a deeply moving account of a teenager's silent struggle against shame, loneliness, and bullying. It is also a story of resilience - of a young boy who learns, step by step, that he has the right to exist, to take up space, and to be seen for who he truly is.
A powerful and necessary book for anyone who has ever felt judged before being known.
