What is Stand Up for Yourself & Your Friends about?

Bullying and bossiness can make school and friendships feel difficult, but there are ways to handle them. This practical guide helps girls recognise different kinds of bullying, understand their feelings and choose how to respond. Quizzes, real-life quotes and “what would you do?” situations explore options such as staying calm, using confident words, seeking help from a trusted adult or supporting someone else. With advice on being a kinder, braver friend, the book ends with a pledge and useful tips to share with parents.
