StoryMakers with Aija Mayrock THE SURVIVAL GUIDE TO BULLYING

The Survival Guide to Bullying is author and activist Aija Mayrock’s gift to young people who’ve endured bullying. At sixteen Aija began writing the self-help book for children who are being bullied. The book began as a self-published project in 2014. Eventually the project was picked up by Scholastic after Publishers Weekly covered The Survival Guide to Bullying.

Bullying is an epidemic in the United States. In 2015 the National Center for Educational Statistics reported one out of every four students (22%) reported being bullied during the school year. If you’re being bullied you aren’t alone and you can get help. If you know someone’s being bullied here’s what you can do to help — don’t be a bystander.

We’re giving away three (3) signed copies of The Survival Guide to Bullying. Enter now!

ANYthing to help someone survive the extremely damaging disease of bullying is a good thing and Aija’s approach is so fresh and I would think is very effective. This was SO impressive :)

Let’s take bullying out of the Tabou zone and bring it back to the discussion table. Let’s get everyone involved: parents, teachers, educators, principals, … No one, children or adult, should go through this alone. Well done Aija!

I think it is important to realize that some sort posturing is a normal and natural way for youngsters to act. If we help the child who has moved beyond this natural animal posturing into bullying to understand that he/she has gone too far, that will go a long way to help the situation. Unnecessarily causing shame and berating the the child may cause a backlash that is harmful.

This is such a current and relevant conversation. Thank you for sharing this work. I’m passing it on to my guidance counselors and pastoral care staff at school. Thank you for sharing and for caring.

I think it all starts at home and parents need to recognize when they are being bullies themselves. Kids imitate their parents.
