Bobby's Story is about courage and the power inside all of us.  The story is based on unpleasant events that occurred many years ago in the author's own life.  The character, Bobby, is constantly reminded of his grandfather's powerful words of life, "Wrong is wrong - no matter how many people do it, and that it only takes one person to speak out for what is right - The Power of One!"  After Bobby's parents lose everything, including their jobs, their home, and their dreams, his family is forced to leave all their family and friends behind.  They move to the city with hopes of finding jobs and starting over.  For Bobby, the struggle is about acceptance, not only from his new friends, but his new life.  He needs to reach inside himself to find the inner strength necessary to make new friends, live in poverty, and stand up to the red-haired bully.

Maybe Jack wasn't really a rat, but he was definitely a bully.  He made life very uncomfortable for Mickey.  Mickey's parents had some helpful ideas, but Mickey found that it was easier to talk about loving your enemies than actually to do it, and brave words were often just words.  Then, something happened that surprised Mickey as much as Jack.  The unexpected result was that the ex-bully was once more a friend, and Mickey had good reason to be proud of his problem-solving techniques.

Bobby Kent was a steroid-pumped, 20-year-old bully who liked to dominate his peers in their comfortable, middle-class Ft. Lauderdale beach community through psychological, physical and sexual abuse. One summer night in 1993, Bobby was lured to the edge of the Florida everglades with a promise of sex and drugs, but was never seen alive again.  The tormentor had become the victim in a bizarre and brutal act of vengeance carried out with ruthless, cold-blooded efficiency by seven of his high school acquaintances, including his lifelong best friend, and instigated by one overweight, under-loved teenager who believed her life would be perfect if Bobby Kent was dead.  This book is a riveting story of adolescent rage and bloody revenge, and all the more harrowing and horrific because it's true.

Brian Tacang's first novel takes readers on a wild ride through the fantastic town of Masonville, where eccentric scientists and burly librarians, circus performers and bullies abound, and where science and miracles sometimes collide.  As an inventor, Millicent knows this formula by heart.  Unfortunately, a series of failures -- like the Ever-Juicy Gum Enhancer Pellet and the Retractable Ponytail Holder -- have left her a few beakers short on faith.  Millicent's best friends in The Wunderkind Club are ready to give up on her inventions, but Bully-Be-Gone, her latest creation, should be the breakthrough Millicent needs.  After all, her formula for thwarting the enemies of overachievers everywhere is foolproof.  Before long, Millicent has a disaster of monumental proportions on her hands.  With only days to concoct an antidote, her friendships -- and her future as an inventor -- hang in the balance.

Most bulletin board displays focus on holidays, the seasons, or other lighter fare.  Bully Free bulletin boards will send strong, consistent messages that bullying will not be tolerated, that it hurts others, and that there are positive alternatives: peacemaking, kindness, and respect. This book brings important anti-bullying concepts to the classroom in fun, interactive ways: Kids work on displays together, with instruction and reinforcement from teachers.  The results are a series of anti-bullying messages for classrooms and hallways that kids will notice, talk about, and retain.  Each project includes clear, concise instructions and discussion questions.

Based on The Bully Free Classroom by Allan L. Beane, Ph.D., this card game plays like Crazy Eights, so most kids will have some familiarity with the process.  The cards are divided into four categories: "What Would You Do If", Self-Esteem Boosters, Ways to Stay Bully Free, and "Why Should You Do This?"  Kids get rid of cards (and move closer to being "out" or "bully free") by offering reasonable suggestions and responses to questions.  Meant to be played with adult supervision (a teacher, counselor, or youth worker familiar with anti-bullying themes), the game includes an insert with rules and basic anti-bullying concepts.

Bullying is a big problem in schools today, and you can do something about it. Up to 90 percent of students say they are bothered by bullying, and 10 to 24 percent of students say they are bullied in school. You can create calm, caring classrooms that promotes a sense of belonging in all students and stops bullying in its tracks.  This book spells out over 100 prevention and intervention strategies you can start using immediately.

Some are classroom-centered and designed to change everyone's attitudes, thinking, and behaviors.  Some are victim-centered, focusing on students who are current or potential victims of bullying.  Some are bully-centered, because bullies need help as much as victims.  All strategies are easy to understand and simple to implement; many require little or no advance preparation and few or no special materials. Encouraging and practical, reinforced with true stories and enhanced by reproducible forms, checklists, and resources, this solution-filled book can make your classroom a place where all students are free to learn without fear of being bullied.

This book is aimed at academics, educators, and government policy makers who are concerned about addressing emerging cyber-bullying and anti-authority student expressions through the use of various technologies, including but not limited to cell phone and the Internet. There is a current lack of policy relating to the extent of educators' legal responsibilities to intervene when such events takes place outside of school hours and school grounds, using home computers and personal cell phones. Students, teachers, and school officials are often the targets of these events. The author analyzes government and school responses by reviewing positive paradigms. She reviews a range of legal frameworks and judicial decisions from constitutional, human rights, child protection, tort law perspectives, and redirects attention to legally substantive and pluralistic approaches that can help schools balance student free expression, supervision, safety, and learning.

From the creator of Broken Toy and Joey, here is another Thomas Brown DVD dealing with the impact of teasing and bullying.  Twelve-year-old Billy had it made.  He was popular and he had no idea how it felt to be down.  Billy and his best friends liked to pick on Christopher, a small built boy who had just lost his mother to cancer 6 months earlier.  However, a freak accident scars Billy, and the roles are now reversed.  Christopher stands up for Billy, who is now a Bully turned victim.  This changes Billy forever, as he learns the value of acceptance, sensitivity, and becoming a caring person.

Thomas Brown has created another powerful, thought-provoking and touching film about how bullying can change and affect the lives of victims, the bystanders and the bully themselves. There are more than half a million school busses on the road every day in the U.S. alone, with fortunately, very few yearly fatalities on or involving them.  This video presents a "what if" scenario.  What if children were being so discourteous to driver and fellow peers, by engaging in misbehavior and bullying, that it would directly contribute to a driver losing control of the bus? This hard-hitting film does not focus on school bus safety. The film is about school bus BULLYING and what 'could' go horribly wrong. Our story DOES go horribly wrong, resulting lives both lost and forever changed. This film contains some scenes that might be upsetting to more sensitive or younger audiences. It has been successfully tested on grades 3-8.

In this book, teasing and bullying are addressed as a variety of intentionally hurtful behavior, from making fun of someone to repetitive physical abuse. Creating a caring environment at the beginning of school reduces the need for children to assert themselves through negative behavior such as teasing and bullying.  With The Anti-Bullying and Teasing Book, teachers of young children can address this behavior before it develops.
