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.

"A user-friendly, accessible, and well-organized resource. The authors stress that prevention is the responsibility of all adults who work with children. This book provides 101 short, informative articles covering the research on bullying; defining the practice; victims; bullies; bystanders; cyberbullying; media and video violence; the consequences and legal ramifications of bullying, and prevention. The format will lend itself well to group discussions and give teachers and others who work with young people a solid basis upon which to explore the issues surrounding this prevalent problem. Each chapter also has a list of resources and citations that provide opportunities for additional exploration. This volume would make a great addition to professional collections, along with Barbara Coloroso’s The Bully, the Bullied, and the Bystander (HarperCollins, 2003), Carol McMullen’s Creating a Bully-Free Classroom (Scholastic, 2005), or Elizabeth A. Barton’s Bully Prevention: Tips and Strategies for School Leaders and Classroom Teachers (Corwin, 2006)." - School Library Journal, December 2008

"Authors Meline Kevorkian and Robin D'Antona dispel the myths and display the facts about bullying. While most of the bullying defined in this text, such as indirect and relational bullying, has been recognized by experienced educators for some time, cyberbullying is a relatively new phenomenon, and the authors provide detailed information about this bullying behavior." - School Administrator, August 2009
