Bullying In Our Society

Did you know that on a daily basis, an average of 160,000 children miss school because they fear they will be bullied if they attend classes? Bullying is not always physical, but can be psychological too, and can occur at home, in schools and in the workplace. This is especially true with the rise of technology; cyberbullying and trolling are now becoming a major concern, with incidents of harassment via Facebook and Twitter as well as 'sexting' on the increase. This book looks at the forms that bullying can take and the spread of cyberbullying, with information on how bullying affects victims and how it can be tackled.
