First Published in 2003. Schools are floundering in a sea of information with regard to the issue of school mobbing/bullying behavior. In the midst of all this information, the underlying causes of the antagonist's actions are sadly ignored. This unique book addresses the roots of these behaviors, exploring why people, in particular children, take part in mobbing situations. The author ultimately explores how the answer to this difficult topic lies in teaching children dignity and respect for themselves and all people.
