The Bully, the Bullied, and the Bystander

This is an extremely helpful book that both parents and teachers can use to deal with bullying, an aspect of school that the author feels "is a life-and-death issue that we ignore at our children's peril." Starting with a bottom-line assumption that "bullying is a learned behavior," author Barbara Coloroso explains not only the ways that the bully, the bullied and the bystander are "three characters in a tragic play" but also how "the scripts can be rewritten, new roles created, the plot changed."
