I&#8217;m sure everyone has bully stories, as even bullies are usually bullied by someone else.<\/p>\n<p>I just finished <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Hoot-Carl-Hiaasen\/dp\/0375829164\/sr=8-2\/qid=1169692522\/ref=pd_bbs_2\/105-0383118-5154018?ie=UTF8&#038;s=books\">Hoot<\/a>, which has a really nice bully subplot. The main character thinks and acts really well when repeatedly confronted by a bully, in a way that could be emulated.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve decided that the DVD is indeed really good. At first, I think thought it&#8217;s for for the J section. The kids are mostly in junior high, therefore using the kid-taste-rule-of-thumb, it&#8217;s for upper elementary students, because junior high students like to read about high schoolers, and elementary students like to read about junior high. Then I considered the types of scenarios they were talking about. Lots of it is universal bullying, but some of it involves situations that invoked bullying like talking to someone else&#8217;s boyfriend, so I&#8217;m going to stick with YA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We got a DVD about bullying, called Stop Bullying! and I couldn&#8217;t tell from the packaging or any online reviews (definitively) what age group its for.
