2.0 out of 5 stars Why is Everybody Picking on Me April 12 2004
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
My son was required to read this book for his karate class. The book has some good ideas on handling bullies but some of the ideas are about lying your way out of a problem. It also seems that the author is misleading the public when he calls himself a doctor. His degree is in public health and not psychology as we are lead to beleive. I don't agree with lying and therefore can not recommend that other children read this.I also took this issue up with my son's karate teacher who tried to gloss over the issue. I know bullying is a problem but there are other books out there that are more honest and straight forward about the subject matter

5.0 out of 5 stars This book does not teach young people about lying! Feb 19 2004
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
The review that this book teaches young people to lie is not true. The book, among other very important things, teaches the "12 Ways to Walk Away with Confidence." The use of "trickery" has been changed to "Creative Imagination." But the word "trickery" was not meaning that a person should lie. It is meant only to help a young person think of someway to get out of conflict by creative means. The reviewer has taken offense at one very, very small part of this internationally acclaimes, award winning book.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book was very informative and fun to read. Oct 10 2001
By F. Doyle
Format:Paperback
This book tells about bullies and victims and teaches how to be neither one. It explains how bullies may become that way because they are bullied or are hurt inside. It helped me to look at bullies in a different way and made me feel sorry for them. The book also talks about different types of bullies and how some bullying is seen as "successful". Victims are sometimes attacked by bullies because they act like "poor me" and the bullies see that as a sign of weakness. The books tells how not to act like a victim and to not BE a victim. I really liked the role-playing and questions that helped me think of ways to avoid a fight. I also liked the stories. This book was very informative and fun to read. I learned a lot of things that will help me to become the best person I can be. Thank you, Dr. T!
