Who has the most power to stop and prevent bullying? Teachers? Parents? The Principal of the Universe? No, no, and no way! When it comes to changing bullying behavior, nobody has more power than upstanders - all the people who see bullying or know it's happening ...and decide to do something about it. How strong are upstanders? Stronger than a snarling seventh grader. More powerful than a petty put - down. Able to delete Internet rumors with a single click. When Bystanders choose to act as UPstanders, they are real superheroes! With humorous, kid - friendly text, Stand Up to Bullying! teaches kids how to safely take a stand against bullying, support kids who are targeted, and spread the word that bullying is not cool - it's cruel. The power to end bullying starts with one person: you.
