PRODUCT SUMMARY

For sale in U.S. and Canada only-- Whether they are personally involved or merely bystanders to the situation at hand, students often find themselves faced with bullies both in and out of school.

In Bullying, students will develop a better understanding of ways to deal effectively with bullies through two detailed vignettes. In "It's Not Funny...It Hurts!", an overweight student, new to school, faces a daily regiment of bullying by others who ride his bus. What should he do? And in "Just Because You're Bigger...," a group of kids playing basketball after school are menaced by an older group who come along and steal their ball. How should they handle the situation?
