Books with title Beating Bullying

For many teenagers, bullying means beating someone up. Often times, teens don’t see name-calling, insults, spreading lies about someone, gossiping about someone with the intention of ruining that person’s reputation, or isolating someone from others so that the individual can be harmed in some way, as bullying tactics. These are all examples of bullying methods for targeting people to gain power over them and control them. Cyberbullying is also a growing concern today, where bullies choose to harass victims through electronic devices. Each volume in this insightful series examines a type of bullying—whether it be social alienation, physical, psychological, verbal, or cyberbullying—as well as specific steps targets can take to avoid bullying. Examples of specific bullying tactics, how people become bullies and victims, and proactive methods for handling and overcoming problem situations, including those for bystanders, are covered in each book.
