I am reviewing a copy of Free Us From Bullying through Leafwood Publishers and Netgalley:
Alex Moore was tormented by her classmates and on May.12.2010 she was overweight and suffered from Blout’s Disease (causing her legs to bow). Just before 7 a.m Alex jumped into Southbound traffic, plummeting for about 1.2 seconds and traveling nearly 26 mph before impact. A driver of an eighteen wheeler saw Alex’s body plummet to earth he was barely able to stop before hitting her. He was at her side in about 30 seconds but by that time Alex was already dead.
Over 70 percent of bullying targets don’t tell anyone, they suffer in silence.
This book reminds us that bullying is not a one time thing it is continual bullying or serial bullying! The author reminds us too that bullying harms a person’s ability to trust!
We are reminded too that bullying is not just a school problem and the teachers aren’t the ones who should solely be the frontline defense.
The author points out to that bullying can be stopped with more compassion and understanding!
I give Free Us From Bullying five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
