An international bestseller, Barbara Coloroso's groundbreaking and
trusted guide on bullying--including cyberbullying--arms parents and
teachers with real solutions for a problem that affects almost all
school age kids.
"An extremely helpful book that both parents and teachers can use to
deal with bullying."--Publishers Weekly
First published over a decade ago, The Bully, the Bullied and the
Bystander quickly became the definitive guide to bullying prevention
and intervention, providing real solutions for a problem that affects
young people all over the world. Now, in this thoroughly updated and
expanded book, Coloroso helps you recognize the characteristic triad of
bullying: the bully who perpetrates the harm; the bullied, who is the
target (and who may become a bully); and the not-so-innocent
bystanders--peers or siblings who either watch, participate in the
bullying or look away, and adults who see bullying as "teasing," not
tormenting, and as "boys will be boys" or as " girl drama," not the
predatory aggression that it is. In this book you will learn:
- What bullying is and what it isn't
- The four ways and three means of bullying
- Technology resources and solutions to deal effectively with both
online and offline bullying
- Seven steps to hold accountable and reform someone who bullies
- Four abilities that protect young people from succumbing to a bully
- How young people can stand up, speak out, and take responsibility
Drawing on her decades of work with troubled youth and her wide
experience with conflict resolution and restorative justice, Barbara
Coloroso offers practical and compassionate solutions and gives parents,
caregivers, educators and--most of all--young people the tools to break
this cycle of violence.
