Más información sobre el libro

The teen years are filled with social challenges in school, sports, and beyond, where teasing, bullying, and exclusion are prevalent. Social media has intensified these issues, making them more subtle and pervasive. However, when young people learn to respond effectively, manage their emotions, and recognize their self-worth, they can reclaim their power and develop lifelong skills. An education consultant and parenting expert provides guidance alongside ten inspiring stories from young adults who have successfully navigated bullying and social exclusion. This resource empowers teens to address problems themselves, fostering mastery over situations instead of relying on parents to intervene. It equips parents, teens, and educators with vital anti-bullying strategies, including understanding the reasons behind teasing, handling rumors, managing physical bullying, overcoming feelings of isolation, cultivating an empowered mindset, and standing up for others without jeopardizing themselves. The author emphasizes that while one cannot control external circumstances, they can control their response. This book helps kids realize that while they may not stop a bully, they can assert themselves and regain their power, influencing the situation rather than feeling helpless. Essential reading for anyone involved with teens, it encourages them to find their voice, problem-solve, and navigate challenging social landscapes.
