MOBBING NO

Vladimir Zheleznikov “Scarecrow”

21.1.2015

For the first time in her life, sixth-grader Lena Bessoltseva will have to face the betrayal, injustice and cruelty of her classmates and misunderstanding from adults. Every child should read Vladimir Zheleznikov's novel “The Scarecrow”, because sometimes you just need to be able to put yourself in another person's shoes in order to understand and evaluate your attitude towards him. In addition to the special girl Lena, the class has all the typical divisions into groups: Mironova, the class leader, Shmakova's first beautiful, Somov, a boy from a wealthy family, and many other equally vivid characters. The circumstances so happened that Lena took the blame from her classmate and became an outcast; she was boycotted. Lena Bessoltseva will have to go through a lot of tears, despair and humiliation, which will be understood by every student.

Anti-mobbing list of children's and teenage books (updated March 1, 2021)
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 with you an updated list, which includes new books from 2019-2020. Children often don't pay attention to bullying and bullying at school because they are their age rotting a weak/other/stranger is considered the norm. Books and films on this topic can help children open up, let adults know that the problem exists. Read these books with your children, watch their reactions discuss and tell us what mobbing/bullying is. I'm sure these books should be included in extracurricular reading lists, and maybe in a circle school reading, as many of them have already become world and Russian classics literature.
Conrad Lorenz. Aggression
The scientist draws very interesting analogies between the behavior of different vertebrate species and Homo sapiens behavior, which is why the book was published in the “Library of Foreign Psychology” series. Claiming that aggressiveness is an innate, instinctively determined property all higher animals, and proving this with plenty of convincing examples, the author comes to the conclusion: “There are good reasons to consider intraspecific aggression is the most serious danger facing humanity in modern conditions of cultural, historical and technical development.”

“The volcano that was angry.” Working with a book
Dear parents! I would like to introduce you to Samokat's wonderful graphic book “The Volcano That Was Angry” (2020). The author of the text and drawings is Natalya Baiduzha, a designer and illustrator from Siberia. Age marking 0-3.4-6. I am very closely researching new children's books that raise the topic of aggression and bullying. And not all books appeal to me, and I don't want to talk about them all. But I immediately became interested in Vulcan, although it is for children of an age I don't work with. I looked at it carefully several times and figured out how parents or caregivers could “work” with her.
