This book is in the following series:
With almost half of all teens reporting that they have been bullied, and almost half reporting that they have been a bully themselves, there are few teenage issues more pertinent to address. After introducing such bullying basics as passive and active bullying, violence, power, and identity, this entry in the It Happened to Me series dedicates individual chapters to bullies, victims, and witnesses and explores what influences each group's involvement in bullying. Subramanian then focuses on the various types-bias based bullying (targeting victims because of their ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, etc.), cyberbullying, sexual harassment, dating violence, and even adult bullying of students and children-and how each can be identified and prevented. The final chapters discuss how individuals can try to end bullying through actions and laws. Real-life profiles bring immediacy to the topic, while questionnaires, related literature, and lists of resources provide further connections. An approachable style makes this guide accessible for both research and personal needs. * Booklist *
Well-voiced and supported with credible incidents, Subramanian's guide speaks to the source and elimination of abusive situations. The text covers the subject objectively and calmly. Even advice on adult violators notes that predatory grownups assail youths out of anger, fear, and insecurity. Pictures enhance focal concepts, as with the handshake that illustrates allies on p. 197. Advice on texting reminds the reader that caution protects both sender and receiver. Analysis of complex concepts, particularly the passive bystander, relies on straightforward diction to account for failure to intervene to protect or rescue a victim. The author limits recommended readings to recent sources. The glossary amplifies definitions, explaining such hopeful social mechanisms as restorative justice and lever of change. This work should aid the parent, teacher, librarian, and school counselor as well as the vulnerable teen. * VOYA *
