Bestselling author Donald Jeffries turns his critical eye onto the topic of bullying to show how teachers, principals, and other school officials invariably side with the bullies in the most egregious cases, instead of protecting the victims. He also shows how many so-called anti-bullying activists and nearly all the professional “experts” excuse bullying and in fact laud sociopathic behavior in general. As Jeffries demonstrates, this curious phenomenon is due to the power and influence of the social hierarchy, and it revolves to a great extent around the enduring popularity of sports. Jeffries talked to parents who’d battled a system that logically should have been working for them, some of whom lost a child to bullycide, the term for children who kill themselves over bullying. His investigation into what has become one of the most talked about issues in America is as explosive and controversial as anything he has written.

Editorial Reviews

Review

From hostile high school hallways to the Oval Office, we've become a nation ruled by bullies, while those who are ostensibly there to protect us actively or passively enable them. In this trenchant expose, Donald Jeffries reveals how pervasive is the "bullyocracy" and suggests some of the social factors that can diminish its power." —Michael Kimmel, SUNY Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Gender Studies, Executive Director, Center for the Study of Men and Masculinities

"Donald Jeffries is one of our most talented and prolific writers who is never afraid to tackle the most difficult problems facing society today. Here he focuses on bullying in our education system with special insights into cyber-bullying that has emerged as a lethal form of persecution. High schools in many ways have become a jungle where bullies pounce on their weaker victims, many of whom carry the scars for years. Jeffries not only explores the issues involved but adroitly proposes solutions. His information is invaluable." —Douglas Caddy, Author, and Member of the District of Columbia and Texas Bars

"We have insight into the root cause of bullying, why it continues to occur, and its long term effects, so why do we still have a bullying epidemic? Teaching students, parents, and school officials about the negative effects of bullying early-on is only part of the solution. As a society and as individuals, we still allow bullies to rule the classroom, the boardroom, even the oval office. Don Jeffries's thoroughly researched book explains why and how this continues to occur. Like it or not, bullying affects us all. This is an important topic worth examining and a book that needs to be read." —Jesse Ventura, former Independent Governor of Minnesota

"Jeffries shows the enraging parallels between workplace and schoolyard bullies and how American institutions historically and consistently side with the aggressors, even when they advertise themselves as “zero tolerance” zones. This applies to victims who take their own lives as well, as the book eloquently points how even their experiences are often conveniently rewritten post-death in favor of their abusers. This book collects both tragic accounts of bullying as well as some of the more absurd steps of “zero tolerance” taken in a vain attempt to cover an institution's rear end instead of caring for the well-being of any tortured individual." —Gina Tron, author of You're Fine

About the Author

Donald Jeffries began researching the JFK assassination as a teenage volunteer with Mark Lane’s Citizens Committee of Inquiry in the mid-1970s. His 2007 novel The Unreals was lauded by the likes of author Alexander Theroux and Night at the Museum screenwriter R. Ben Garant. His first nonfiction book, Hidden History: An Expose of Modern Crimes, Conspiracies, and Cover-Ups in American Politics, became a bestseller praised by everyone from Roger Stone to former Congressional Representative Cynthia McKinney to international peace activist Cindy Sheehan.

Bullies are Created, Not Born

Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2020

Verified Purchase

Donald Jeffries details a problem in society that may well be without any solution. He cites countless cases of people humiliated, scorned and physically harmed by people who apparently think they are entitled to do so. The book is well-researched and he took the time to speak to victims and families of victims. One point I got from the book is that the structure for bullies to excel at what they do is formed by high school. The "stars" (athletes and cheerleaders mostly), the "fans" (who want to be popular) and the rest of us who muddle through four years like a prison sentence. It was only years later, when I volunteered to serve on a reunion committee, that I realized that no one liked high school and that the only really "cool" thing to do is to help other people.

There's a Bully in every Crowd

Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2020

Verified Purchase

Just as we are now ordered to avoid crowds as we endure the coronavirus pandemic (or more accurately described by Don Jeffries as the Plandemic), we should avoid them for another reason; you can almost always find a bully in every crowd. I have enjoyed Don's three other most recent masterpieces and received an education with all of them. I'm guessing he gives close to two hundred examples, and I must admit this one was a tough book to get through because in probably 99% of the examples the poor victim (not the perpetrator) was the loser. Jeffries focuses frequently on the weaknesses of school administrators and teachers. At one point Jeffries asks how all those "zero tolerance" policies can ever result in these draconian measures when the students are charged with real, often violent offenses. I found the last chapter on Trump very thought provoking in showing our US President Trump is an all-time "huge" (as Trump would call it) bully. Had the author wrote for just a couple of more months, I'm sure he would have had just as interesting a narrative for Biden also. Just as in "Survival of the Richest", Don shows that there is a power elite hierarchy in our country that is being fed by our leaders, and until we demand a level playing field for all involved parties, we will not have a palatable justice system that we all can live with.

Heals the heart

Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2020

This is absolutely one of the most outstanding books I have read documenting the various pillars of our society that exhibit bullying. He doesn’t just talk about the school system. He explains about our culture of bullying reaching its tentacles to the rising police state, and increase in work place bullying ever since the 2008 recession just to name a few. A must read if you want to really understand what has happened to our civilization.

For anyone who has ever been bullied...

Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2020

I highly recommend this book without reservation. Every teacher should have a copy, every parent should have a copy as well as school libraries. This book discusses the subject of bullying in plain English that is easy to understand and relate to as well. If you have been bullied or know someone who has..this book will help you tremendously..

He really hates teachers

Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2020

I got this book from the library. Chapter Two will let you know real quick how the author feels about teachers--I'm not sure he even bothered to discover why teachers can fail to correct bullying: how about the number of students packed into a classroom? Does he realize how hard it is to watch everything every where? Or the fact that administrators will let teachers know REAL quick that they don't want to hear reports of bulling because 1- that means the admin will actually have to DO something and 2-administrators seem to feel that any report will make their school "look bad". I was a teacher in NYC and can tell you that when I spoke out against male students harassing female students in the halls (things Amazon probably won't even allow me to write), I was told by my Assistant Principal/Head of Department to ignore it! Because of the administration, I saw teachers desperately turn their heads so they wouldn't see/hear anything they felt they would have to report because the admin would not back them up (believe them) and accuse them of being bad teachers. The rationale--if students respected you they wouldn't act like that in front of you, so they must not respect you; therefore, you are a bad teacher! When the harassment spread to teachers, I hired an employment attorney and hoped other teachers would join my suit, but they were afraid and kept protesting they didn't see or hear anything! Very few people can afford to jeopardize a good job with good benefits. What is sad, is that these young men who were allowed to bully females and teachers in school have graduated and are now bullying coworkers. Stop blaming teachers. Hold the ENTIRE school system accountable--supervisors, school board members, principals and vice principals and parents and teachers AND the students themselves.

Very Important, Timelessly Relevant

Reviewed in Canada on November 13, 2020

Verified Purchase

When you find out what this book says, you will realize that its content has been relevant throughout history. We need to educate future generations on this topic, and heal the problems it points out in society, and stop it from being relevant in the future. It's very important that YOU read this book, it makes a lot of good points.

I was bullied throughout elementary school; and later in life, there have been, and are, bullies who have effected my life, and who currently affect my life. This book has information that is relevant and even empowering. Make sure to buy it!
