Why Is Everybody Picking On Me : Guide To Handling Bullies

Rating:
Summary: This book does not teach young people about lying!
Review: The review that this book teaches young people to lie is not true. The book, among other very important things, teaches the "12 Ways to Walk Away with Confidence." The use of "trickery" has been changed to "Creative Imagination." But the word "trickery" was not meaning that a person should lie. It is meant only to help a young person think of someway to get out of conflict by creative means. The reviewer has taken offense at one very, very small part of this internationally acclaimes, award winning book.

Summary: This book was very informative and fun to read.
Review: This book tells about bullies and victims and teaches how to be neither one. It explains how bullies may become that way because they are bullied or are hurt inside. It helped me to look at bullies in a different way and made me feel sorry for them. The book also talks about different types of bullies and how some bullying is seen as "successful". Victims are sometimes attacked by bullies because they act like "poor me" and the bullies see that as a sign of weakness. The books tells how not to act like a victim and to not BE a victim. I really liked the role-playing and questions that helped me think of ways to avoid a fight. I also liked the stories. This book was very informative and fun to read. I learned a lot of things that will help me to become the best person I can be. Thank you, Dr. T!

Summary: I would recommend this book to anyone.
Review: This book was based on solving a conflict nonviolently. It helps victims defend themselves from the bully nonviolently; physically and verbally. It helps bullies recognize that they are bullying and to stop. And it teaches you how to help somebody you know, to stop bullying. It teaches you how to recognize your feelings and to help control yourself. It helps you to control the bully or victim inside of you. I liked this book because it taught me that without even trying, you can bully. It's made me see the bully and victim inside of me, and in a way I've been nicer and have not "bullied" people as much as I have been in the past. My mother has also seen a very big difference since I've read this book. It has helped me a lot. I don't think that there was anything I didn't like about this book. I think it had some very moral values. I would recommend this book to anyone. Now I want to read the others.
