Jane’s classmates think that wearing the ‘right’ label
clothing is very important, and her classmates start to make fun
of her: “What a fleabag!”, “Where did you get
that coat – the Oxfam shop?” Jane wishes she didn’t
have to go to school; she is beginning to dread each new day.
Michael
isn’t good at football. The other boys make fun of
him, banging into him ‘accidentally’ and tripping
him up when the games teacher isn’t looking. Michael’s
mum wonders why he’s always covered in bruises, but Michael
won’t say.
Bullying encompasses many things: being called
names, being beaten up, having your bus fare stolen, being made
to feel stupid…It’s
always horrible.
Almost everyone gets bullied at some point in
their life; often it happens at school. But you don’t have
to accept being bullied, and if you’re a bully, you can
learn to stop.
This book explores why some people bully, why
others are bullied and what you can do to change things.
‘At
last someone has written clear and welcome advice for children
on how to handle
the widespread problem of bullying.’
