“It is estimated that 175,000 children miss school everyday due to the fear of being teased, attacked, and publicly humiliated.” From the introduction of “Stop the Bully. It Starts With You.” Robertson has written a timely work that teaches kids they no longer have to be the victim of a bully. Bullying has always been around, but only now has it reached the degree to be classified as an epidemic. It has also become a major cause for kids to commit suicide or resort to violence to solve the problem. Robertson who teaches martial arts, instructs on how everyone can turn it around and take away the bully’s power over them without resorting to a physical or violent solution. Divided into three sections, the first is how animals handle situations, then there are 15 facts and the last portion introduces 10 habits anyone can adopt to ward off a bully. There are also several different personal stories by adults who were bullied as kids and how they dealt with it. The principles the author proposes are sound, logical and simple and I wish there had been a book like this when I was growing up, to stop the cycle of the bully many of us have had to endure. “Stop the Bully It Starts With You” is a book that every school in the nation should use to stop this growing menace.
