Our Review
This essential guide empowers young readers with practical strategies for transforming from passive bystanders into courageous upstanders who can effectively confront bullying situations. Phyllis Kaufman Goodstein delivers actionable advice for recognizing different forms of bullying—from verbal harassment to cyberbullying—and provides clear, realistic intervention techniques that teens can actually use in school hallways, classrooms, and online spaces. The book breaks down exactly how to safely support targets of bullying while de-escalating potentially dangerous situations through specific language and actions.
What sets this anti-bullying resource apart is its focus on collective power rather than individual heroics, emphasizing that small actions from multiple people create real change. The relatable scenarios and concrete examples help readers visualize themselves successfully intervening, making the transition from knowledge to action feel achievable rather than intimidating. Teen readers navigating complex social dynamics will find this an invaluable toolkit for building safer communities through everyday courage and solidarity against bullying behavior.
