3.0 out of 5 stars It Takes a Lot of People to Stop a Bully, 24 Dec 2008
By Professor Donald Mitchell "Jesus Makes Me a P... (Boston) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)      

This book is more about making the bullied child feel better than in stopping a bully. The book's main weakness comes from Jay McGraw neither being an expert who has done original research on the subject nor someone who was bullied as a youngster. As a result, what he has to share isn't much different from what any other undergraduate major in psychology would say.

I thought about the four worst bullying situations that my children ran into and applied the advice here: My conclusion is that it wouldn't have helped much.

Why? This book is focused around the traditional school-yard and bus-riding bullying. The bad bullying that my children ran into came from teachers (and I had a teacher or two like that as well when I was young), toughs on the street who had nothing to do with that school, and circumstances encouraged by administrators who wanted a certain atmosphere at their schools. I just don't see how the advice in this book would have been very applicable to those situations.

What I found most interesting was in the Internet bullying context. That was new, and the advice seemed pretty solid in that arena.

I picked this book up because I liked the way that Jay McGraw had used his own teenage experiences to make Life Strategies for Teens very relevant and vital for younger people compared to what his father had written for adults. That strong connection to the subject just doesn't seem to be in this book.

I would only recommend this book to young people who feel bad because they are picked on and who need some self-esteem help and cannot or don't want to see a therapist.
