Overview

Bullying. What was once a playground and neighborhood threat is now an epidemic that follows kids home, permeates walls, and haunts teenagers through social media. Bullying is reported by 1 our of every 5 students. Two thirds of targets of bullying do not report it. This means that the numbers are much higher. Bullying happens because of looks, body shape, race, gender, sexual orientation, and weight. Is your child being bullied? Studies have shown that actions aimed at changing the behavior of the bullies (such as telling the person to stop, walking away, and pretending it doesn't bother me) resulted in the most negative impacts; and yet these are the very things that are most often recommended. What is the real solution? Lasting change comes through personal empowerment. The expert authors in the BULLYPROOF series of books lead the charge in helping their communities become bullyproof. Their unique and effective methods help children and families become empowered, and in turn help others around them.
