Did you know that every day 1 out of 4 kids is bullied? Did you know that every
7 minutes a child is bullied on the playground? Did you know that in 85% of the
situations no one intervenes?
These are all alarming statistics. Many
of us never knew there was a problem.
Many of us knew but didn't know what to
do. I Wish I Knew What to Do
is the direct result of these statistics
and the stories of teens across the country
who were brave enough to share what really
goes on before, during and after
school. These are stories that need to
be shared. Shared with other teens, with
parents, with educators, with community
leaders - all who have an opportunity
to reverse the course of bullying.
“No
one wants to be bullied.
With
these insights, we can get bullies
to back off now. I like this book. It’s a must read.”

“Bullying,
particularly in adolescence, is epidemic, not just in the
USA but around the world. Often
simply hearing the voices of the victims of bullying can stop a bully in his or
her tracks. Those voices are rarely heard. This powerful collection of youth
voices about bullying is an important response to a serious problem; a problem
that costs us the souls and even the lives of our children.”

"Character
education is an integral part of enhancing self-concept for today's youth
and reducing violence in our schools. For parents and educators wanting to help
the teenagers in their lives with critical success principles, this book is a
must read."
