How to Stand Up to Bullying by M. C. Ryder is an educational resource that helped me understand bullies. I knew people were bullies because they were hurt, and needed to feel powerful, but the author gave us a little more than that. Saying No with firmness was key to stopping bullies. The author had hands-on experience with bullying. I see children and older people bullied, but I never knew how to help them. I like my new revelation of bullying. The author also says people from all walks of life bully and don't know they are bullying. It was interesting to hear all the diverse forms of bullying. I enjoyed reading the book, and the author's experience in some situations helped me understand how to handle narcissism, bias, workplace bullying, how to ignore certain conditions, and much more. I now know that bullying can be shutdown or stopped. I recommend this book and not just for children.

A powerful and practical guide for tackling bullying with confidence. The author provides clear strategies and actionable advice, making it an essential read for kids, parents, and educators. Highly recommended!

How to Stand Up to Bullying is a thoughtful guide that dives into the roots of bullying behavior. It provides practical advice for victims while addressing why bullies act the way they do. A must-read for fostering empathy and confidence!

This book is by a good author. I've actually read this author's fiction and enjoyed it. The ideas are presented in a clear manner. But this book is basically just the author's observations and opinions. There was not enough scientific basis or expert opinion. At best, it might be inspirational for someone. I can't really recommend it.

A comprehensive guide that asks thought provoking questions. Like why do bullies bully?, and shows practical steps you can take to prevent this behaviour. Offering kindness tends to knock bullies off their stride.! Practical, relatable and inspiring. Would recommend. Carol McAllister
