P.S.

We have to change parent's attitudes. The most oft heard defense from parents of bullies in the 60's (said to my parents)and in the 90's (said to me!) is "Boys will be boys!"

Schools and communities are looking for ways to address bullying and relational aggression among youth, while children, teens, and caring adults deal with the day-to-day fear and misery caused by such behavior. Books for children and teens about bullying, teasing, and other aggressive behavior range from purposeful and pointed to highly literary in style, while the offerings span the spectrum from lighthearted to grave.
