Bullying behaviors create an uncomfortable, threatening, and even hostile environment that make it difficult for children to learn.

Kevorkian systematically discusses topics ranging from relational bullying to cyber bullying to media and video violence to the legal ramifications of bullying, debunking myth and uncloaking the facts about bullying and its prevention.

While I looked forward to the format of this book (short sections devoted to each fact), in the end I found it overly repetitive and even a bit didactic. I also felt like there was a lot of "you should do XYZ," but not so much on HOW to do XYZ. Also a lot of grammar/editing errors. There were some really sparkling gems of information throughout, especially in regards to teaching children what to say and do under bullying circumstance, but they were outweighed by so much else, it was difficult to appreciate.
