Some 30 percent of all students are involved in the bullying cycle in the role of aggressor or victim. Or as both. 60 percent of former bullies have a criminal record before age 24. While male bullies are most noticeable because of outward physical aggression, girls also bully one another, often in insidious but equally vicious ways. "Even the bystanders of bullying are affected by watching as violence is inflicted on others."But you can do something about it, and in "Confronting Bullying," Roxanne Henkin shows you how to make school a safer place for all children.
