Bullycide : Death at Playtime - An Expose of Child Suicide Caused by Bullying

by Tim Field

This is the book that blew the lid off the bully-associated child suicide epidemic the authors named 'bullycide'.The shattering statistics compiled by Neil Marr and Tim Field were the first ever recorded on what had been a secret and fatal school syndrome that causes terror and death at playtime.Heartbreaking interviews and case histories in these pages opened the eyes of an indifferent world. It's a book crammed with useful, encouraging advice. It has spawned countless other books, official action, scholarly reports, plays, movies, parent-teacher groups, media campaigns and websites.But has the world really learned since its original publication exactly ten years ago? Are things getting better for embattled kids who see life as a fate worse than death, or are the bullies using new, more covert means to practice their lethal evil?This second edition - not so much an update as a history lesson (and those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it) - is by overwhelming popular request that we cannot deny.
