Bullying is never OK. Yet it happens every day, in every school in New Zealand. It is a growing issue and, with abusive texts and emails being the new trend, bullying extends from school life to a child’s home life.
No It’s Not OK uses the latest research and case studies to expose common misconceptions about bullying and the differences between boy and girl bullying. It shows what to do if your child exhibits bullying behaviour, how to protect your child from bullying and how to evaluate a school’s anti-bullying policy.
