Carrie Goldman became an unexpected voice for the antibullying movement
after her blog post about her daughter Katie's bullying experience went
viral and an online community of support generated international
attention. In Bullied, Goldman brings together the expertise of
leading authorities with the candid accounts of families dealing
firsthand with peer victimization to present proven strategies and
concrete tools for teaching children how to speak up and carry
themselves with confidence; call each other out on cruelty; resolve
conflict; cope with teasing, taunting, physical abuse, and
cyberbullying; and be smart consumers of technology and media. As a
mother, she calls on us all—families, schools, communities, retailers,
celebrities, and media—to fiercely examine our own stereotypes and
embrace our joint responsibility for creating a culture of acceptance
and respect.
For parents, educators, and anyone still wrestling with past experiences of victimization and fear, Bullied is
an eye-opening, prescriptive, and ultimately uplifting guide to raising
diverse, empathetic, tolerant kids in a caring and safe world.
At least 25 percent of kids have been bullied online. One in five teens
has been bullied at school. More than half of bullying behaviors will
stop in less than ten seconds when another student intervenes.
