Teens address their experiences as targets, as bullies and as bystanders through first-hand essays, poetry and images. It makes an important contribution to a crucial dialogue about bullying, by sharing the perspectives of people for whom bullying is fresh and immediate. ( ) Bullying Under Attack edited by John Meyer is an anthology of essays about bullying. The book was compiled in response to the suicide of Meyer's son because of bullying. The essays are divided into three sections: the bullied, the bullies, and the bystander. Each section offers essays and poetry on the pain, anger and fear that surrounds bullying. This book is good for anyone affected by bullying. This anthology of 100 of the best bullying essays, letters, and poems written by teens for teens is, in my opinion, one of the most significant works toward remedying bullying on digital steroids. From name calling and exclusion to silence treatment, ostracism, physical aggression, and public humiliation and broad coverage, vivid description of actions is enlightening, no longer allowing bullies and bystanders to say, “I didn’t know.” An unacceptable but age-old problem, extremes of hurt are made even more dangerous today with online exposure that doesn’t end at the close of the school day, and are subject to continuous instant replay. Attempts to “fix” the epidemic often fall short of changing behavior, especially in the long term. As these teens so poignantly describe, bullies, the bullied, and bystanders all play a part, and, in their own ways, are all victims. Real social transformation requires considering why the various roles are adopted, intervening by building understandings and skills to choose different reactions and behaviors. Whether standing up for self, befriending a victim, or recognizing one’s role and need to be a bully, these heart wrenching stories provide a window to the problem, hope and ability to see truth in painful situations, and examples of actions that truly changed outcomes. These remarkable teens have vulnerably documented noteworthy accounts of discovering their roles and of making authentic personal changes to end bullying in their lives and to impact the social climate. This truly is must read for teens, parents, educators, and more as we seek to change culture. Sekunjalo! Now is the time! I received this ARC from Teen Ink through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
A collection of stories and poems by teenage writers that looks at the subtleties of harassment, the myriad reasons victims may be chosen, and how one day, as adults, they will be able to help. No library descriptions found. |
