MY VERY IMPORTANT BOOK ABOUT BULLYING by Katie P-S-S-S-T! I'm going to tell you what you need to know about bullying. I've even included stuff that kids who bully DON'T want you to find out. And believe me, I know what I'm talking about since I used to be one. I stopped bullying with the help of our school counselor, Mrs. Petrowski. She must have spent a gazillion hours studying bullying because she knows so much about it. I never thought what I did to my friend Monica--giving her the silent treatment, telling her who she could be friends with, and not including her in games at recess--was bullying. I was suprised to find out that it actually was. One of the first things I learned was that bullying hurts everyone, even the kids who are bullying! That got me thinking: What's the point of doing something that ends up hurting ME in the end?
