A Sunderland-based journalist who was bullied at school has written a novel to let young people know it is okay to be different.
Sarah Millington, 46, used her own experience to write novel, Demelza Rice Is Not Very Nice, which tells the story of Sophie Miller as she starts secondary school and is bullied.
The award-winning journalist hopes sharing it will raise awareness of the pressures young people face in a social media-obsessed climate.
