by Deborah Ellis (Author)

Booktalk: Students ages 9-19 talk about being bullied at school. After each interview, there are two What Do You Think? questions that invite readers to talk about the situation and the student’s strategy for coping with it.

Hi and thanks for hosting Non-Fiction Monday this week. What an important topic bullying is now. I used to get picked on for wearing glasses and that was bad enough.

Could you please delete or disregard the first link to The children’s war – somehow it came up for the wrong post. The second one is the correct one.
Thank you, I don’t know how that happened.

Bullying is such an important issue these days. It is a hard topic to communicate to kids, because there are so many different messages out there in books and media about bullies and how to handle it. I recently read a book where the kid tells at least four people about a bully who is tormenting him, and half of them don’t believe him, and the other half blame the kid who is being bullied. The kid ends up scaring the bully away by biting him (I know, strange). I think bullying will continue to be an important issue in fiction and non-fiction in the coming years.
My post this week is on Aint Nothing but a Man.
