An international bestseller, Barbara Coloroso's groundbreaking and trusted guide on bullying-including cyberbullying-arms parents and teachers with real solutions for a problem that affects almost all school age kids.

Now, in this thoroughly updated and expanded book, Coloroso helps you recognize the characteristic triad of bullying: the bully who perpetrates the harm; the bullied, who is the target (and who may become a bully); and the not-so-innocent bystanders-peers or siblings who either watch, participate in the bullying or look away, and adults who see bullying as "teasing," not tormenting, and as "boys will be boys" or as " girl drama," not the predatory aggression that it is. In this book you will learn: * What bullying is and what it isn't* The four ways and three means of bullying* Technology resources and solutions to deal effectively with both online and offline bullying* Seven steps to hold accountable and reform someone who bullies* Four abilities that protect young people from succumbing to a bully* How young people can stand up, speak out, and take responsibility Drawing on her decades of work with troubled youth and her wide experience with conflict resolution and restorative justice, Barbara Coloroso offers practical and compassionate solutions and gives parents, caregivers, educators and-most of all-young people the tools to break this cycle of violence.

In this remarkable and timely book, bestselling author Barbara Coloroso turns her attention to genocide: what it means, where it begins, where it must end. Through an examination of three clearly defined genocides, Coloroso deconstructs the causes of genocide and its consequences, both to the immediate victims and to the fabric of the world at large, and proposes the conditions that must exist in order to eradicate this evil from the world. Based on the author's 20 years of research and extensive travel, Extraordinary Evil is an urgently needed work in an age when acts of genocide seem to occur more frequently and are in the public's consciousness more than ever before.
