The first book to explore meanness and aggression in the
pre-teen years, the next step in the tradition of Queen Bees
& Wannabes and Odd Girl Out Recent bestsellers like Queen
Bees and Wannabes and Odd Girl Out opened many parents' eyes
to the problem of cruelty and aggression among teens. But
the pre-teen years are when the cruelty really begins and is
even worse, causing increased anxiety and stress for
children who are already facing an enormous amount of change
in their lives. Why Good Kids Act Cruel is the first book to
give parents the tools they need to understand why cruelty
happens at this age and how to help their child through this
difficult stage. This highly informative and useful book
explains the psychology of early adolescent change, the
short and long term effects of social cruelty, what parents
can do, what the school can do, and much more. The Must-have
Guide to Dealing with Teen Cruelty at the Age When It Really
Begins: 90% of 4th through 8th graders report being victims
of bullying. 39% of middle schoolers say they don't feel
safe at school—even higher than the 36% of high schoolers
who say the same. The effects of bullying can be
long-lasting. By age 23, those bullied in middle school were
more depressed and had lower self-esteem than peers who had
not been bullied. (20091123)
