Synopsis
Practical advice for children on how to handle bullying Jane's class think that wearing the 'right' label clothing is very important, and her classmates start to make fun of her: "What a fleabag!", "Where did you get that coat - the Oxfam shop?" Jane wishes she didn't have to go to school; she is beginning to dread each new day. Michael isn't good at football. The other boys make fun of him, banging into him 'accidentally' and tripping him up when the games teacher isn't looking. Michael's mum wonders why he's always covered in bruises, but Michael won't say. Bullying encompasses many things: being called names, being beaten up, having your bus fare stolen, being made to feel stupid...It's always horrible. Almost everyone gets bullied at some point in their life; often it happens at school. But you don't have to accept being bullied, and if you're a bully, you can learn to stop. This book explores why some people bully, why others are bullied and what you can do to change things.

Customer Reviews

What every child should read (and their parents too)
I have been recommending this book to young people for years. It is in easy to read chapters which explain why people are bullied, why people bully others and how to call on your inner strength to help you stop being bullies. I have found in my career that it is much easier to get people to learn to stop being bullied than it is to stop bullies so this is the ideal book for every school child and their teachers and parents.
