Bullying continues to be an issue for many teens, both in school and online. One type of frequently ignored bullying is that which takes place in the home, often at the hand of a parent, sibling, or other relative. That makes this type of bullying easy to overlook but it is still potentially very damaging. This engaging volume digs into the often misunderstood situations in which a young person might find themselves the victim of a bully within their own home. It includes tips for finding help and knowing who to talk to when the trouble at home becomes too much.

Sometimes the most painful type of bullying is the kind that is inflicted upon a young person by peers or classmates. Social alienation or bullying behavior by acquaintances can have a huge impact when you just can't leave the environment where it's taking place. This can happen in school or at events where a certain social circle is present. Backing away and combatting the bullying can result in further isolation. This helpful volume delves into what a young person can do to recognize bullying behavior, develop a coping strategy, and find someone who can help.

Verbal bullying is a type of psychological and emotional abuse, and can often have an even greater impact than a bully who uses their fists to inflict damage. What can a young person do in the face of name-calling and insults that seem harmless to many outsiders? Through this comprehensive volume, readers will learn how a bully becomes a bully, what constitutes verbal bullying, and where to seek help. It includes valuable resources from anti-bullying organizations and specifically addresses verbal bullying against members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Bullying has long been tolerated as a rite of passage among children and adolescents. There is an implication that individuals who are bullied must have "asked for" this type of treatment, or deserved it. Sometimes, even the child who is bullied begins to internalize this idea. For many years, there has been a general acceptance and collective shrug when it comes to a child or adolescent with greater social capital or power pushing around a child perceived as subordinate. But bullying is not developmentally appropriate; it should not be considered a normal part of the typical social grouping that occurs throughout a child's life. Although bullying behavior endures through generations, the milieu is changing. Historically, bulling has occurred at school, the physical setting in which most of childhood is centered and the primary source for peer group formation. In recent years, however, the physical setting is not the only place bullying is occurring. Technology allows for an entirely new type of digital electronic aggression, cyberbullying, which takes place through chat rooms, instant messaging, social media, and other forms of digital electronic communication. Composition of peer groups, shifting demographics, changing societal norms, and modern technology are contextual factors that must be considered to understand and effectively react to bullying in the United States. Youth are embedded in multiple contexts and each of these contexts interacts with individual characteristics of youth in ways that either exacerbate or attenuate the association between these individual characteristics and bullying perpetration or victimization. Recognizing that bullying behavior is a major public health problem that demands the concerted and coordinated time and attention of parents, educators and school administrators, health care providers, policy makers, families, and others concerned with the care of children, this report evaluates the state of the science on biological and psychosocial consequences of peer victimization and the risk and protective factors that either increase or decrease peer victimization behavior and consequences.

"Preparing students for a standardized test is a monumental task, but equipping them for social and interpersonal conflict is every bit as challenging. This five-part series helps young viewers navigate the dilemmas surrounding bullying, peer pressure, prejudice, and unresolved anger--with an additional program focusing especially on conflict management and resolution. Emphasizing character-building as a prime ingredient in overcoming conflict, the series uses no-nonsense dramatizations, candid 'school hallway' interviews, and expert commentary to define basic ideas, illustrate ways in which conflicts often play out, and ultimately present methods for diffusing them--based on honesty, awareness, and respect for others."--Publisher's web site.

Five-hundred years ago, sorcery began to fade from the world. As technology prevailed, combustion engines and computers replaced enchanted plows and spell books. Real magicians were hunted almost to extinction. Science became the primary system of belief, and the secrets of spell-casting were forgotten. That is ... until now. Sorcery for Beginners is no fantasy or fairy tale. Written by arcane arts preservationist and elite mage Euphemia Whitmore (along with her ordinary civilian aide Matt Harry), this book is a how-to manual for returning magic to an uninspired world. It's also the story of Owen Macready, a seemingly average 13-year-old who finds himself drawn into a centuries-long war when he uses sorcery to take on a school bully. Owen's spell casting attracts the attention of a ruthless millionaire and a secret society of anti-magic mercenaries, all of whom wish to use Sorcery for Beginners to alter the course of world history forever.
