It’s National Bullying Prevention Month. This is a time to bring awareness to the harmful effects that bullying can have on children and teens. Understanding what bullying is can inform what preventative and response measures are implemented to resolve the issue. According to this resource, “The various forms that bullying can take — verbal, social, physical, and cyber — present different challenges, but all are ultimately harmful.” The books listed range from picture to young adult.
