This book gives a very sharp and concise explication of what is seemingly a pervasive problem in society. As the author correctly notes, bullying is not a normal part of growing up, and can have repercussions that are deadly. I found the symptoms and treatment of bullying to be well organized and accurate. The advice to parents is spot-on. After all, if it's our child, right or wrong, sometimes we don't want to confront it. Especially when our child is actually the bully. Moreover, the approach to cyber bullying is well-merited in today's online world. Social networks can be extremely damaging to a child's self-image and perception. Bullying is a serious problem that if allowed to continue can have far-reaching consequences. Fortunately, this book is a great resource for stopping this behavioral issue, and links to a litany of other resources in order to stop it.
