By: Sand, Charlene

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.

This book contains an overview of bullying, a form of abuse which involves a real or perceived imbalance of power with the more powerful individual or group abusing those who are less powerful. The power imbalance may be social and/or physical in nature. The victim of bullying is sometimes referred to as a target. The effects of bullying can be serious and even fatal. Mona O'Moore of the Anti-Bullying Centre at Trinity College in Dublin has written, "There is a growing body of research which indicates that individuals, whether child or adult, who are persistently subjected to abusive behavior are at risk of stress related illness which can sometimes lead to suicide." Read about the types of bullying, anti-bullying organisations, notable campaigners, and much more.
