Taking the Bully by the Horns

The American Justice Department says that this month 1 out of every 4 kids will be abused by another youth.

In a recent study, 76.8% of the students said they had been bullied. And 14% of those who were bullied said they experienced severe (bad) reactions to the abuse.

Hi, my name is Kathy Noll. Dr. Jay Carter & myself have written a self-help book, "Taking the Bully by the Horns." We're helping children and young teens deal with bully, self-esteem & school violence issues. This includes the victims, the bullies, AND the bystanders. We've all been bullied to some extent, and we've all seen those around us being bullied. It's time to break the "Bully Cycle."

So far, our book has received positive responses from various school districts all over the U.S., Europe, Australia & Canada. Principals, Guidance Counselors, Librarians, and Parents, all have shown a sincere interest in the book. Parent-Teacher Organizations, and various children's organizations have also given it wonderful support. The problem is serious, timely and far spread.

Best-selling author of "Nasty People," professional speaker, & psychologist, Dr. Jay Carter, and myself interviewed kids who had been bullied, and offered solutions to their problems. "Taking the Bully by the Horns" is the long time-requested children's version of "Nasty People."

The book is written in a manner that makes it interesting enough to get young people to read it. This way they will learn something without feeling like anybody is talking down to them.

One chapter tells the victim that he's "ok" (self-esteem) and not the one with the problem. It also teaches him/her how to avoid certain situations, what to do if he/she is being bullied, and how to get help.

Unfortunately, sometimes kids get so sick of being Victims, that they become the "Bullies." They feel so bad about themselves and think that controlling someone else will make them feel better or help distract from their own problems. (In our book we call this the "Bully Cycle.")

Another chapter asks the bully why he (or she) does what he does. Is he angry about something? Did someone hurt him in the past? He needs to feel better about himself in order to change, and to stop bullying.

Yes, both Victims AND Bullies have low self-esteem. Arrogance should not be mistaken for a "high self-esteem." Someone who has a "good" self-esteem has no need to CONTROL. - Dr. Jay Carter

If ALL kids could understand how to accept themselves and know that they're "OK", there wouldn't have to be any "Bullies" or "Victims."

This self-help book explores different ways children and teenagers are bullied (verbally, mentally and physically), how the bully becomes a bully, how the victim becomes a victim (sometimes there's a fine line between the two), and what can be done about it. For Elementary through Jr. High. Adults can also share this information with younger children.

Dr. Carter and myself hope you find this information on our web site, and in our book, both interesting and helpful. Please take care of yourselves and your kids, and stay safe.
