Good-Bye Bully Machine Book Video

http://www.freespirit.com/bullymachine The book "Good-Bye Bully Machine" teaches kids what bullying is, why it hurts, and what they can do to end bullying. "Good-Bye Bully Machine" by Debbie Fox and Allan L. Beane, Ph.D., (available in softcover and hardcover), part of the Bully Free Classroom™ line of resources, engages kids with clear messages and unique collage art.

The book opens with a note to grown-ups encouraging them to share it with the kids in their lives and to talk with them about bullying, taking their fears and reports of bullying seriously. The authors know that kids who are victims need to be heard and supported to stop the Bully Machine. A note to kids explains at the outset that bullying is a way of treating people that is hurtful, but that people who bully are not bad people: their behavior is bad.

Through "Good-Bye Bully Machine," kids gain awareness of their role in bullying, whether they are targets, bullies, bystanders—or all three. According to the authors, the role of the bystander is especially important. Part of the message in "Good-Bye Bully Machine" is the power of the bystander to become an ally by speaking up and standing up for others.

Bully-Busting Activities at the back of the book show how victims, witnesses, and kids who've bullied others can become Bully Free—including suggestions for building a school-wide campaign against bullying.
