In an attempt to identify why girls' friendships appear to be more fractious and disputatious than those of boys, it would seem necessary to begin with a description of the problem. Read the first page Browse Sample Pages

Format:Paperback
I believe that is an important contribution to the debate about the specific way that girls bully. It is well written and accessible. The author appears to have put in a large effort to work with the girls over the 16 months of the study.

Format:Paperback
I think this is a useful book, and the author is well qualified to write it. She has an excellent combination of experience in the field, work as an educational psychologist, and academic doctoral research on the topic. Her earlier 1989 book was a seminal contribution to the area of school bullying. This book adds to a relatively small literature on the nature of girls bullying, which is known to be different from that of boys. There is thorough coverage of other relevant academic literature, as well as interesting insights from the author's own work. It should appeal to both professional and academic audiences.
Format:Paperback
Val Besag is exceptional in her work with girls and bullying. She has spent many years working in schools with children and young people, and has an amazing insight into the way girls differ from boys in their friendships and bullying issues.
The book is extremely useful to those working with children and young people who are bullied or perpetrators, and has been a welcome addition to our resource library in the County Durham Anti-Bullying Service.
