Avoiding Bullies?

Bullying shows up in many shapes. Some children are threatened with words or pushed around, some are shut out of friend groups, and some are targeted online. No child is immune: differences in race, sexual orientation, or disability don't protect anyone, and mistreatment can occur at school or at home.

This book shows young readers how to deal with bullying when it happens to them. It explains how to build up their self-esteem, how to support a friend who is being targeted, and how to tell whether their own actions cross the line into bullying.

Short sidebars offer practical tips on nearly every part of the topic, including what to do if the person bullying you is a teacher or a parent.
