I've been reading books on bullying, relational aggression and "not nice people" for several years now. Most have disappointed...touchy-feely, wishy-washy, not much practical advice that could be put into place NOW! Start a club, learn a complicated, expensive program. Those things may have their place, but for the victims of bullying and relational aggression, months or years until results are seen is too long. Some say that we have to know "why" these people are bullies or engage in relational aggression. I disagree...we wouldn't try to determine what started a fire before we rescued the victims, would we?

I wish I could give this book a 10. I wish that I had read it first as there wouldn't have been much need to read other books, unless one is engaging in scholarly research. I can't recommend this book highly enough and can't believe that it has not been reviewed before now. If you or your child are the victims of bullies, READ THIS BOOK! If your school, Scouts or other group is having a problem with bullying, READ THIS BOOK! It is validating and the mostly useful of all the books I've read to date.
