Quote by Courtney Summers

“Her eyes widen and she shoves me back and then there's a space between us, enough to paralyze me with all of the things I could do to her next. I could raise my hand and hit her in the face or bring my knee into her stomach, take a fistful of her hair and rip it out of her skull. You don't get to do this when you're a girl, so when the opportunity for violence finally presents itself, I want all of it at once.”

Work

All the Rage

The title "All the Rage" has been employed for various creative works including novels, films, and nonfiction books. In common English usage, the expression denotes something that is currently very popular or fashionable, though it also carries connotations of intense emotion and collective fury. When appearing as a book title, it generally signals exploration of contemporary social issues, generational conflict, or the dynamics of public outrage. Without specifying a particular author or edition, the title suggests narrative engagement with how anger spreads through communities, the mechanisms of viral controversy, or the gap between surface trends and deeper discontent. The phrase itself emerged from idiomatic English where "rage" refers to both fashionable enthusiasm and violent emotion, creating inherent thematic tension suitable for works examining modern cultural polarization. more

“Dear Girls Across the Globe, Let's stop body-shaming each other with hurtful comments about how another girl looks or doesn't look. We are all beautiful in our own unique way; so let's speak about each other with the dignity that we would want others to have when they speak about us.”

“It's about the ways in which girls deal with anger and aggression, as opposed to the ways in which boys do. The premise is that boys tend to be more direct in their aggression - physical confrontation - while in contrast, girls use an indirect approach known as relational aggression. Relational aggression is a form of aggression where the group is used as a weapon to assault others and others' relationships. It uses lies, secrets, betrayals and a host of other two-faced tactics to destroy or damage the relationships and social standing of others in the group.”
