There were so many lines in each of her "roems" that I easily related to. I did not experience the same degree of bullying, but I did experience and feel the pain loneliness and isolation that came about during the time I was in school. Even though it has been at least 10 years since I was in high school, reading this book brought about feelings of what I experienced and long forgotten about.
I am okay with this because it takes so much strength to get through being bullied. Aija says in one of her "roems" "I had to suffer to realize that I am tougher than I thought I was". Of course feeling lonely and isolated for so long isn't on mine or anyone's top priorities, but I feel as though without suffering in some way, you may not realize what you are truly made of. Aija gives such amazing and incredible advice throughout this book and can reach out to young people who are currently experiencing bullying or anyone who have had previous experience with bullying.
I would highly recommend this book to teens, adults, parents, teachers, librarians I would also recommend this book to those with and without personal experience with bullying because both sides can learn so much that you may not have realized in the first place. Please be sure to get this book, which comes out June 30, To me, I think this video is a reflection of what it feels like to be isolated. Its Numb by Linkin Park. I had personal experience during the 1: I do not wish that onto anyone, and I hope that my readers and fellow bloggers don't choose to make someone feel this way Jul 24, Cindy Hudson rated it it was amazing.
Bullied during middle school and high school, Aija Mayrock decided to write a book to help others who may be suffering as well. Written by a Teen is her small book with the potential for a big impact on its readers. Drawing on her own experience and including advice from experts, Mayrock has created a guide that can be read straight through, or readers can choose the chapters that may be most relevant to them at the moment and start there.
Mayrock asks teens to answer questions that can help them assess the severity of the bullying they experience, and she offers suggestions on where they can find help. While her story inspired her to write the book, few details of her own experience are included, which helps anyone to see their own situations in what she describes. The Survival Guide to Bullying has universal appeal, and it can help anyone see their own experience in its pages.
It should be helpful for those being bullied as well as for those who seek to support them. The publisher provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Mar 14, Mrs. Scott rated it liked it. I read this for a conference review Author has writing talent as evidenced in her "roems"--rap poems--which open each short chapter in this short book. Positive message, encouragement to speak to parents-adults This little book could help teens to feel not so alone.
A guide to surviving bullying that doesn't talk about the statistics on kids being bullied for their sexuality or gender identity is not complete.
The Survival Guide to Bullying: Written by a Kid for a Kid
Also each chapter and the book begins with a poem. A really really terrible poem. Oh, no, sorry, a "roem. I can definitely see the value in a guide to surviving bullying, aimed at elementary and middle school kids because honestly no high schooler is going to pick this up that is written by a teen who survived bullying. You automatically have more authority than some adult on the situation, what kids are going through, how to get through. This book is NOT that book. Don't bother buying it. Sep 13, Stacy Mallory rated it it was amazing. Not a book I would normally pick out, and I hated her rapping poem at the beginning of each chapter.
This book is amazing for kids that are going through a rough time in life. It gives real life scenarios and step by step instructions on how to deal with real life situations. It was such a postitive, try this, okay that didn't work try this type of book that I was really drawn in. Jan 29, Milena rated it it was ok Shelves: Jun 20, Joy added it Shelves: The first is the similarity in the topic and the style of the authors' writing.
Second is the structural similarities in the books. While they are different genres, there is a strong connection in the style. Both seem like a journal or diary the speaker of the text is writing.
The style similarity could help a fourth-grade student see the connections between the two texts. The journal style really emphasizes how personal bullying can affect us and how we feel about ourselves. This twin text set provides answers to the problems bullying can cause and "The Loser List" also helps this serious topic have lighthearted moments as well. One side will be Danny's journey with bullying and the other Aija's, then the center space is the similarities between their journeys.
Jun 18, Erica Wagner rated it really liked it. A great book for kids written by a kid who endured years of bullying. I read this because my child is already experiencing some mean girl behavior. It is heartbreaking that this behavior starts at seven. Sep 06, Akita rated it liked it.
I'm not the target audience for this book. But it's a great resource for anyone suffering from bullying or feeling left out. I love Aija's roems, that's why I picked up this book, and she didn't disappoint me! Can't wait to read more from Aija! Jun 16, Michelle rated it it was amazing. This was a really good book. The information was very well written for a young author.
I would recommend this book to anyone. It made me think about a lot of things in my own childhood. I wish there was a book like this when I was growing up. Nov 15, Serine Majid rated it did not like it. I didn't like it. Oct 18, Julie Kwiat rated it liked it. I love that the author wrote from personal experience. It really effected me on a personal level.
Jun 30, Anita Rosenberg rated it it was amazing. Commencer ce livre c'est comme entrer dans un cocon bien chaud, chaleureux, protecteur. Non, rien ne cloche chez lui. Le temps de pages, elle devient le coach du lecteur et dispense ses conseils pour se sortir de la jungle scolaire. Nov 03, Graham Downs rated it really liked it Shelves: It's designed, as the title suggests, as a survival guide for kids who are being bullied, but there are so many different layers, I think that it could really benefit anyone, at any age. Aija's story is both sad and inspirational.
She doesn't give too many details about her own personal experience with bullying; just enough for you to know that this girl knows what she's talking about, and for you to understand that, if you're being bullied, you're not alone. Much o I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Much of this book contains practical advice to how to handle being bullied at school. And of course, it's American-centric.

In the rest of the world, we're the bit different, in the sense that we don't have "hallways" or "lunch rooms" per se since our school premises are mostly outdoors, with only individual class rooms and administration offices being indoors , and we wear school uniforms. This mitigates some of the things that an American kid might be bullied for, but also adds a few other things that they don't have to worry about. Speaking of which, I really enjoyed the list of things that you may be bullied for spoiler alert: There is absolutely no way you can predict what kind of things about yourself would make a bully target you, which means that there is absolutely nothing you can do or not do to stop from being targeted by bullies.
You would think that this news would be depressing, but it's not. It lets us know that we're not alone, and millions of people around the world suffer from the same things we do. I'm an adult, but I was bullied as a kid, and I can identify with a lot of what Ms Mayrock talks about in this book. I also really enjoyed the chapter of Cyber Bullying, because that's something that can affect you no matter how old you are or where you are in life.
Then, the final chapter, about the benefits of bullying, I can also really identify with. I fully understand that what I went through in school has shaped who I am today, and I would be a completely different person, were it not for those experiences. The author is a very wise young lady, and I think her message is a truly powerful one. I'm going to be recommending this book to kids I meet, or even parents I meet, of kids who are suffering from bullying. I honestly think it could be a huge help to them. I enjoyed Aija's "Roems" and little inspirational messages as well.
The only issue I have is that they're a bit weird in an ebook, because they're handwritten pages, inserted into the book as images. It makes them rather difficult to read on small screens - but on my Review originally posted on Children's Atheneum Bullying is a popular topic in children's books these days, both non-fiction and fiction. Perhaps it is because the idea of bullying is so universal.

Even the bullies usually have their own torments and tormentors. My own bullies were those in my neighborhood, kids who thought my family was weird for whatever reasons some more legit than others. Besides sibling spats, I have only been hit by two people in my life, both kids who lived a few houses Review originally posted on Children's Atheneum Bullying is a popular topic in children's books these days, both non-fiction and fiction.
Besides sibling spats, I have only been hit by two people in my life, both kids who lived a few houses down from me. By thirteen I retreated indoors, safe from my tormentors as long as I stayed inside and read my books. Thankfully, being homeschooled also saved me from having to attend the same school as my bullies, a blessing that didn't quite hit home until I read this book. Aiya Mayrock is a teenager writing for kids. Her advice is sound, although often felt vague and simplistic. Tell a parent or teacher sounds great in theory, but what if your parent thinks you are just being a wuss?
What if your principal or teachers won't listen? What if you secretly like the attention because it is the only social interaction you get in your day?
movies that include "bullying" - IMDb
In the documentary Bully, that is basically the existence for the main "character" who struggles with extreme bullying every day of his life. In fact, if the makers of the documentary had not stepped forward and shown their footage to the adults in this boy's life, things could have gotten much much worse. I was able to escape my bullies, and Aiya did too once her family moves, but there are so many kids who don't have that option. All that said, I think this was well done. It is short and to the point with helpful ideas and pointers. The rap poems or "roems" that open each chapter are heartfelt although not terribly inspired.
I suspect that this will improve with time as most art forms do. Reading this book brought back a lot of old thoughts and feelings and some pain. I admit I still hold some bitterness towards those people and wonder if they are now mean adults or did they learn the error of their ways?
For kids going through this, I think this is a valuable resource and for some, it will be a game changer. Sometimes kids just need to shown solutions. Others need to see that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Mayrock does both of these things.
