Everyone involved with the care and welfare of children and young adults is confronted with the issue of bullying, which is one of life's major pressures facing children. Bullying behaviors create an uncomfortable, threatening, and even hostile environment that make it difficult for children to learn.
101 Facts about Bullying is designed to break down what the research says about bullying and its effects, offering ideas for what can and should be done to minimize or reduce it. Kevorkian systematically discusses topics ranging from relational bullying to cyber bullying to media and video violence to the legal ramifications of bullying, debunking myth and uncloaking the facts about bullying and its prevention.

In 101 Facts about Bullying, Dr. Robin D'Antona and Dr. Meline Kevorkian have crafted a down-to-earth and useful guide to a number of basic facts about bullying, its causes, and its consequences. This book could be useful for parents and for children interested in learning more about bullying and how it is related to issues such as school climate, teaching, interventions, and prevention. The layout of the book lets the reader jump easily to the facts most pertinent for them and many readers should find that an appealing characteristic. The book is not an exhaustive analysis of the research literature, but rather it pulls out the most concrete and relevant issues in bullying and presents them one at a time.
