Paperback / softback

Description

Since 1992, there have been 250 violent deaths in schools, and in virtually every one, bullying has been a contributing factor to the violence.

As in the Columbine High School shooting in Littleton, Colorado, most of the students who committed these violent crimes were victims of bullying who decided to get revenge.

Such violence has become one of the most serious problems in America today, and both bullies and their victims need help.

Chapter One defines bullying as a form of violence among children and discusses characteristics of bullies.

Chapter Two identifies myths about bullies and presents research that dispels those myths.

Chapter Three considers how serious violence begins with seemingly innocent put-downs and teasing.

Chapter Four explores how bullying may indicate the beginning of a generally antisocial and rule-breaking behavior pattern that can extend into adulthood, and presents successful programs and interventions.

Chapter Five presents useful solutions and strategies to stop bullying.
