I hate bullying. People who are allowed to get away with it can miss out on learning to be nice, people who suffer it can think there’s something wrong with them – and in both cases it spills over into their relationships with family and friends. That’s why I’ve written survival guides for parents as well as children.
Bullies, bigmouths and so-called friends

Inthe most recent Childline research, kids said the only thing that would always work in bullying situations was to learn to stick up for yourself. They didn’t mean, take up a martial art and give everyone a kicking – they meant develop a thick skin so that bullying can’t get to you.
My book doesn’t show you how to pretend not to care – it shows you how to really not care – so you can get on with your own life and not let someone else’s lack of social skills (that’s putting it kindly!) spoil everything. Plus it’s got lots of quizzes and cartoons and stuff so it’s a great read.
