Bullies

My class just finished the book "Priscilla and the Wimps". This is a very topical book for solving problems with bullies. Everyone hates a bully. This book shows how to really look at the situation - that bullies are in fact really afraid of you! There are reasons why kids bully others. It is their own insecurity. I like a number of the suggestions for dealing with bullies in "Pricilla and the Wimps". For example- there is strength in numbers! Back up your friends when they face bullies, and you will get backed up, too. Another suggestion is - speak up! If you are being bullied, tell people: your teachers, your friends and your parents. You will not be ignored. Speak up for yourself and others and the bullies won't have a chance!
