UnSlut: A Diary and a Memoir by Emily Lindin

When Emily Lindin was eleven years old, she was branded a “slut” by the rest of her classmates. For the next few years of her life, she was bullied incessantly at school, after school, and online. At the time, Emily didn’t feel comfortable confiding in her parents or in the other adults in her life. But she did keep a diary. UnSlut presents that diary, word for word, with split-page commentary to provide context and perspective. This unique diary and memoir sheds light on the important issues of sexual bullying, slut-shaming, and the murky mores of adolescent sexual development.
Trigger and Content Warnings

- Depression
- Suicide & suicidal ideation
- Self-harm mentioned, specifically cutting

I was ill prepared for the repetition of an ableist slur, I feel that this should also be listed.
