This review is from: The Parent's Book about Bullying: Changing the Course of Your Child's Life (Paperback)

There can not be enough said about bullying, it can devistate lives, and change a person for a lifetime. This book is a wonderful guide to be used in schools and places of enployment to control some of the spiteful actions of both children and adults. This book is a guide to better understanding of how to cope with anger, pain, and social attitudes. Then it helps in the healing. I believe this book will help many children as well as adults deal with the insight of how Bullying changes lives.
