| Description: |
This book tells the stories of eight children who have experienced extreme bullying and then found their way to recovery at a Red Balloon Learner Centre - a place for children to continue their education and recover their feelings of self-worth. Their stories highlight common issues behind bullying such as weight, sexuality, race and religion. |
| Synopsis: |
Extreme bullying can have devastating effects: it can leave a child severely traumatized, their self-esteem destroyed, and in deep despair. Many children who have been severely bullied are unable to attend school, and are deeply scarred by what has happened. This book reveals these shattering effects by telling the stories of eight children who have experienced extreme bullying and then found their way to recovery at a Red Balloon Learner Centre - a place where children can go to continue their education and recover their self-esteem, confidence and feelings of self-worth. Their stories also act to highlight common issues which often lie behind bullying behaviour such as weight, sexuality, race and religion. Guidance is given on what teachers and parents can do to help a child who is being bullied or a child who uses bullying behaviour, and what the bullied children themselves can do. Also included is a section on understanding bullying behaviour - how to read the signs, why some children may be targeted, what forms it can take, and why children often remain silent.This moving moving and insightful book is essential reading for all those who have encountered bullying: for parents and teachers, those who have been or are being bullied, and for those who do the bullying and their families. |
