Book Cover & Preview Text
Keith is now in the fourth grade and he dislikes
school. For a fourth grader, this does not sound right. The reason Keith dislikes school though does not have anything to do with academics. Keith is being bullied before school, at school, and on the school bus. Who can blame him for not wanting to go into that environment? Every day 160,000 children are too scared to go to school because of bullying.
Just imagine at your job you’re constantly pushed, tripped, laughed at, and hit. Day after day, never knowing when and where this will happen. Your co-workers just watch, your supervisor says he will handle it but nothing changes. How would you feel in the morning preparing for work? Welcome to Keith’s world and millions of others.
First let’s look at exactly how we define bullying. There are many definitions and many people do not agree that certain types of bullying are actually bullying. The basic definition is when someone keeps doing or saying things to have power over another person. Bullying involves crossing into one’s space without permission.
