Review: As a School Health Educator working with children of all ages, my emphasis is violence prevention. In fact, bullying programs make up 90% of my work throughout Missouri. In this book, SuEllen and Paula have crystalized my ideas about what is essential to teach people of all ages about peer abuse.

I was particularly impressed with the extensive references to research, and the countless stories that support the ideas in their book. If we are to help children take their place in society as adults, we must equip them with appropriate skills and information. These ideas are neatly laid out for readers in Bullies, Targets & Witnesses. I gained a greater understanding of the underlying complexities of each role in a variety of bullying situations, and ways to handle them.

Parents, educators and counselors who truly care about creating a kinder generation to follow in our footsteps will find Bullies, Targets & Witnesses a very useful resource.
