Stop Bullying Me

Book excerpt: In a national survey, over 200,000 children get bullied ever day in our schools across our country. And more often than not, bulling goes un-detected until it is too late. This book will help parents, students, and teachers understand what bullying is and how to speak to their children and students about bullying at home and in the classroom. If your child is being bullied, there are ways to help him or her deal with it on a day-to-day basis and lessen its lasting impact. And even if bullying isn't an issue right in your home right now, it's important to discuss it so your children will be prepared if it does happen one day. It's also important to take bullying seriously and not just brush it off as something that children have to "tough out." The effects can be serious and affect children's sense of self-worth, self-esteem, and future relationships in life. In severe cases, bullying has contributed to tragedies, such as many school shootings at all school levels--elementary, middle, high school, and even today's college campus.
