This comic-style bullying prevention guide teaches elementary and middle school students how to prevent and stop bullying on their own or with adult help. The guide covers:
- Definitions of common forms of bullying: physical, verbal, and friendship harming
- Why kids bully and how they do it
- Ways to get bullying to stop
- How to help someone who is being bullied
- How to get an adult to help the right way
The title characters explain and demonstrate the concepts, providing students with easy-to-follow examples they can apply to their own social interactions and bullying problems. The guide can be used for independent reading, as a school textbook for guided instruction, and as a social emotional learning supplement.
The guide is written for elementary and middle school students in grades 3 - 8 / ages 8 - 13. Institutional use has included schools, youth programs, health care organizations, and teacher colleges. Black and white illustrations. New for the 3rd edition: updates to concepts, gender neutrality.
