- Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2016I applaud Aija Mayrock for bravely sharing her story, and for providing teenagers and younger children with a book filled with helpful ideas for facing the social, emotional and psychological impacts of being bullied.
Creatively weaving rap poems throughout her guide, Aija offers tips on not only what to do once you've been bullied, but also how to avoid or at least reduce your chances of being bullied by planning ahead. And the insightful chapter on cyberbullying is a must read section!
Additionally, Aija presents specific instruction on how and who to seek for help if you've already been bullied, and maps out prevention guidelines for assessing and identifying situations which may lead to bullying. E.g., she offers advice on how to stay safe in and around school before, during and after the school day as well as what to be aware of /look out for at parties.
Students, teachers and school administrators who deal with bullying on the front lines can all glean tremendous value from Aija's book and the narrated version on audible. In fact, consider adding both to the curriculum!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2022So my granddaughter was being bullied terribly-kids telling her to “off herself “ and teachers do nothing unless they actually see it. I got this for her and because it was written by a kid she devoured it and has reread it. Now she seems better able to handle these horrible kids and is much happier. Thanks!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2021This is such an awesome book to help kids going through bullying; because it provides skills to help cope, most importantly helps them see the problems their dealing with, also helps them open up to address the issues that bullying cause. I’m glad that I purchased it for my daughter
- Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2015Reading this as an adult I still found it charming and worth reading. I like some of the definite pros are her focus on staying active, reaching out, and taking the time to address cyber bullying. Most of the advice in the book is very general for teens being bullied but I can see how it would have been helpful during my high school days. I didn't care for some of the style choices of the book but that is totally personal preference. I recommend this to any younger people struggling with self esteem or bullying.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2015The Survival Guide to Bullying is a must read for anyone who is in school, or who has a kid in school. It was written by someone who has actually been in that situation so the insight is first hand. It is very well written, emotional, honest, and unique in that it offers great advice to kids who are dealing with a bully, and kids who are the bully. I would definitely recommend this book for every parent and child, dealing with bullying or not. A great read for people of all ages!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2021Gave to my granddaughter. It is helping her. She also follows her on Twitter. Great book. They lost their mom at a early age. Helps them.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2015As a middle school teacher, I often find myself helping students navigate the challenges of their teenage years. This book is a wonderful resource for students feeling less than confident. Aija does a wonderful job writing for teenagers about real issues, leaving young readers with a sense of self-respect. I would highly recommend this book for young readers.

LesReviewed in Canada on February 28, 20225.0 out of 5 stars Every kid needs this in their library!
My 12 year old son has recently been the target of bullying at school. This book has given us the opportunity to read and discuss openly , develop tools and strategies, and has been such a wonderful guide for him as he works his way through this time in his life. I have also ordered a second copy for his classroom. This is a great tool, I recommend it to any parent, teacher, child who is experiencing bullying.
filmbuff99Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 24, 20205.0 out of 5 stars The book I WISH was available when I was getting bullied at school
This is a must for anyone who had endured bullying as much as for anyone who is currently being bullied. A powerful story and very inspirational to people who feel like there's no end in sight, at any stage in their lives. There is-and this book helped me through a lot and with coping mechanisms even in my adult life whenever I've encountered nasty pieces of work outside of the school playground. Can't recommend this book enough.
