Bully-proof
Author: Gail Dore
Publisher: Penguin Random House South Africa
ISBN: 1432306308
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
Every day, thousands of South African children go to school filled with terror because they know they’re going to be bullied. Children who are targeted by bullies are at enormous risk, yet many parents don’t know why it is happening to their child, or what to do about it. Bully-proof looks at every aspect of bullying, from name-calling, taunting and rumour-mongering to physical assault, and examines why and how bullies behave the way they do, and what can be done to help them and their victims. The more we understand bullying behaviour, the better we can address the underlying causes and put effective controls in place. Studies have shown that the ‘whole school’ approach, involving pupils, teachers and parents, is by far the most effective method of reducing incidents of bullying, as well as limiting the potential for future incidents. Implementing an effective anti-bullying campaign is not just about changing the behaviour of a few maladjusted children; it is about changing the philosophy of the entire school. Using a step-by-step approach, this book provides educators, parents, counsellors and children with the tools they need to develop a successful anti-bullying programme.

Fargo Rock City
Author: Chuck Klosterman
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1471104508
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
The year is 1983, and Chuck Klosterman just wants to rock. But he's got problems. For one, he's in the fifth grade. For another, he lives in rural North Dakota. Worst of all, his parents aren't exactly down with the long hairstyle which rocking requires. Luckily, his brother saves the day when he brings home a bit of manna from metal heaven, SHOUT AT THE DEVIL, Motley Crue's seminal paean to hair-band excess. And so Klosterman's twisted odyssey begins, a journey spent worshipping at the heavy metal altar of Poison, Lita Ford and Guns N' Roses. In the hilarious, young-man-growing-up-with-a-soundtrack-tradition, FARGO ROCK CITY chronicles Klosterman's formative years through the lens of heavy metal, the irony-deficient genre that, for better or worse, dominated the pop charts throughout the 1980s. For readers of Dave Eggers, Lester Bangs, and Nick Hornby, Klosterman delivers all the goods: from his first dance (with a girl) and his eye-opening trip to Mandan with the debate team; to his list of 'essential' albums; and his thoughtful analysis of the similarities between Guns 'n' Roses' 'Lies' and the gospels of the New Testament.

From Bullied to Blessed
Author: David Besch
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1973609088
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
I was a chubby kid that grew up in a Pentecostal preacher’s home. I was constantly teased, bullied, beat up, and humiliated. After almost committing suicide, I found hope. This book was written with the objective of helping readers understand that the past is over and your best days are yet to come. You cannot change the past, but there is a way to deal with your painful memories and emotions that exist deep inside the small crevasses of your heart. Isaiah 43:18–19 (NIV) says, “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” You can release the past and step forward to a brighter future! Don’t let low self-esteem from a bully’s powerless words limit you any longer. You have greatness inside of you and can achieve your greatest dreams and desires. Bullied to Blessed is an invitation to each of us to choose the empowered, overcoming mind of Christ rather than a victimhood mentality in all areas of our lives. Weaving his personal journey together with faith building Scriptural Truths, Dave first personalizes the importance of intentionally keeping right thoughts and words before us then he makes the Biblical principles contained in the various aspects of his story accessible to the reader. This book will challenge you, encourage you and ultimately call you to live a richly blessed life.” —Jonathan Wiggins Senior Pastor Rez Church Loveland, Colorado
