This book reveals these shattering effects by telling the stories of eight children who have experienced extreme bullying and then found their way to recovery at a Red Balloon Learner Centre- a place where children can go to continue their education and recover their self-esteem, confidence and feelings of self-worth. Guidance is given on what teachers and parents can do to help a child who is being bullied, or a child who uses bullying behavior, and what the bullied children themselves can do.--[book cover]
