About this ebook

This little book on bullying pulls no punches. Writes Shafer, "Bullying is like Mark Twain's comment on the weather: everyone talks about it but no one does anything about it." Until now. This is the definitive "must read" for anyone concerned about bullying. In this ten-minute read, Shafer does something no one else has done to date. She outlines a workable, step-by-step plan of action for parents, schools, kids who bully and kids who are bullied in this must read for parents and educators alike.

Their anger is justified. We are letting them down.

    In and of itself, technology isn’t the problem. The problem is that people are leaving their kids home alone with it, to amuse themselves, as soon as they deem them old enough, to socialize (though that seems an oxymoron), to do schoolwork, and to turn it against other kids.

    Technology is a double-edged sword. It can enable
