This book takes an honest look at the different types of bullying and the actions adults must take to curb bullying, thereby helping to prevent the often lifelong effects of this insidious form of behavior on victims. Practical strategies and solutions at the school, class and individual level are presented. more

Everyone should read this

This is a great book that should be mandatory for all Special Education staff and administration staff of every school district! This explained things that we knew were there but did not have enough information on. This is extremely helpful.
