We continue to compile a list of children's and teenage books that are directly or indirectly related to the topic of school/teenage mobbing/bullying. I am sharing an updated list, which includes mainly books for teenagers aged 14+. However, some of these books were recommended to me by thirteen-year-old boys and girls.
Children often do not attach importance to harassment and bullying at school, as at their age it is considered normal to “rot” a weak/other/stranger. Books and films on this topic can help children open up and let adults know that the problem exists. Read these books with your children, watch their reactions, discuss them, tell them what mobbing/bullying is. I am sure that these books should be included in extracurricular reading lists, and maybe even in the school reading circle, as many of them have already become classics of world and Russian literature. Many books have been included in the lists of compulsory books for American schools, such as S.E. Hinton's novel “The Outcasts”. I am sure that these books should be on the shelves of children's city, regional and school libraries, and librarians and teachers should read them so that, in situations of teenage mobbing, they can invite students to read a particular book, depending on the case. I would be happy if one of you would share your reading experience and the experience of discussing these books with children and be sure to post your recommendations and feedback on the site in the “Books” section. Some of the proposed books have been adapted into films, so it makes sense to recommend that children read and watch good adaptations. As a rule, discussing movies with teenagers about “difficult” topics leads children to open up and start sharing what they care about. And the topics discussed, in turn, relieve tension in a destructive group and can even save the life of a cornered child. When discussing books and movies on “difficult” topics, children and teenagers often receive answers to their unasked and painful questions.
