Our Review

This essential guide breaks down the complex social issue of bullying into 101 digestible, research-backed facts, offering a clear-eyed look at how bullying behaviors create threatening environments that hinder learning. The book systematically explores the different forms of harassment, from physical intimidation to cyberbullying, and details the profound psychological effects on everyone involvedโ€”the bullied, the bullies, and the bystanders. It moves beyond simply defining the problem to provide a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics at play in schools and online spaces, making the extensive body of academic research on peer aggression accessible to all readers.

What makes this resource particularly valuable is its actionable framework, offering concrete strategies for parents, educators, and students to minimize and confront bullying. The authorโ€™s methodical approach ensures that each fact builds toward a complete picture of prevention and intervention, empowering adults and teens alike to create safer, more inclusive communities. For anyone seeking to move from concern to constructive action, this book provides the foundational knowledge and practical insight necessary to make a real difference.
