In a national survey, over 200,000 children get bullied ever day in our schools across our country. And more often than not, bulling goes un-detected until it is too late. This book will help parents, students, and teachers understand what bullying is and how to speak to their children and students about bullying at home and in the classroom. If your child is being bullied, there are ways to help him or her deal with it on a day-to-day basis and lessen its lasting impact. And even if bullying isn't an issue right in your home right now, it's important to discuss it so your children will be prepared if it does happen one day. It's also important to take bullying seriously and not just brush it off as something that children have to "tough out." The effects can be serious and affect children's sense of self-worth, self-esteem, and future relationships in life. In severe cases, bullying has contributed to tragedies, such as many school shootings at all school levels--elementary, middle, high school, and even today's college campus.

"In this timely update of the seminal classic, author and activist Jodee Blanco reveals how she simply set out to share her story-and ended up igniting a grassroots movement in the nation's schools. The first survivor of school bullying to look back on those experiences as an adult, Jodee brings you up to speed on her life and work since the book's initial release with a new chapter, all-new Letter to My Readers, and Reader's Guide. She also offers the latest information on digital and cyberbullying, the Adult Survivor of Peer Abuse, her in-school antibullying program, INJJA (It's NOT Just Joking Around!), and provides discussion questions for schools. While other children were daydreaming about dances, first kisses, and college, Jodee Blanco was trying to figure out how to go from homeroom to study hall without being taunted or spit upon as she walked through the halls. This powerful, unforgettable memoir chronicles how one child was shunned-and even physically abused-by her classmates from elementary school through high school. It is an unflinching look at what it means to be the outcast, how even the most loving parents can get it all wrong, why schools are often unable to prevent disaster, and how bullying has been misunderstood and mishandled by the mental health community"--
