The Survival Guide to Bullying: Written by a Teen

"Do not stay silent. You need to take action."
I applaud Aija Mayrock for bravely sharing her story, and for providing teenagers and younger children with a book filled with helpful ideas for facing the social, emotional and psychological impacts of being bullied.Creatively weaving rap poems throughout her guide, Aija offers tips on not only what to do once you've been bullied, but also how to avoid or at least reduce your chances of being bullied by planning ahead. And the insightful chapter on cyberbullying is a must read section!Additionally, Aija presents specific instruction on how and who to seek for help if you've already been bullied, and maps out prevention guidelines for assessing and identifying situations which may lead to bullying. E.g., she offers advice on how to stay safe in and around school before, during and after the school day as well as what to be aware of /look out for at parties.Students, teachers and school administrators who deal with bullying on the front lines can all glean tremendous value from Aija's book and the narrated version on audible. In fact, consider adding both to the curriculum!

Honest and helpful
The Survival Guide to Bullying is a must read for anyone who is in school, or who has a kid in school. It was written by someone who has actually been in that situation so the insight is first hand. It is very well written, emotional, honest, and unique in that it offers great advice to kids who are dealing with a bully, and kids who are the bully. I would definitely recommend this book for every parent and child, dealing with bullying or not. A great read for people of all ages!

Even as an adult I found this charming and worth the time
Reading this as an adult I still found it charming and worth reading. I like some of the definite pros are her focus on staying active, reaching out, and taking the time to address cyber bullying. Most of the advice in the book is very general for teens being bullied but I can see how it would have been helpful during my high school days. I didn't care for some of the style choices of the book but that is totally personal preference. I recommend this to any younger people struggling with self esteem or bullying.

So worth the read
Love this book. My daughter needs to learned to stand up for herself. While reading this book, knowing other kids go through it, made her feel so much better. Love that a young girl wrote it.

Help those suffering in silence
I purchased four copies of this book and donated two each to local schools. Students, advisor and teachers can benefit from reading and discussing this book. Bullying can exist in different forms and should be identified and stopped. I recommend this book to help those suffering in silence.

Book achieved its purpose
I bought his book for my 11-year old granddaughter who was experiencing some bullying in her first year of middle school. She said she really liked the book, especially the personal stories about the author's experience. She found the suggestions really helpful.

The book I WISH was available when I was getting bullied at school
This is a must for anyone who had endured bullying as much as for anyone who is currently being bullied. A powerful story and very inspirational to people who feel like there's no end in sight, at any stage in their lives. There is-and this book helped me through a lot and with coping mechanisms even in my adult life whenever I've encountered nasty pieces of work outside of the school playground. Can't recommend this book enough.

Saw the author on a talk show and I bought several copies for the local high school. Written by a teenager for other teenagers, I think it's a great book; teenagers see this book as more peer help than some adult telling them the same thing. Perspective is everything!
