This book is important for every teen to read. It gives them the confidence to know that they can do something about being bullied and cyberbullied, rather than be a target of in-person and online cruelty. It offers ideas on how to handle the situations and shows that nothing is hopeless. Kudos to Sameer and Justin for writing this wonderful book filled with hope! All of our teens CAN and should turn things around make kindness go viral!Ross EllisFounder and Chief Executive OfficerSTOMP Out Bullyng
Even though I go to a small school and we are all friends and very close. This book had opened up my mind to possibilities to spread kindness. Ideas I can share with friends and family and spread so that we can stop bullying! Both online and off. I plan to use these ideas if I ever see someone being bullied because NO ONE DESERVES TO BE TREATED THAT WAY!!!!
The book, Words Wound: Delete Cyberbullying and Make Kindness Go Viral written by Justin Patchin and Sameer Hinduja, is designed perfectly with each chapter building on the preceding chapter. In addition, the book contains student passages and celebrity quotes that complement the content on the corresponding pages in each chapter. Dr. Patchin and Dr. Hinduja provide pertinent researched information and tips regarding all facets of addressing cyberbullying. Although this book is geared for teens, it would also be a valuable resource for adults such as educators, parents, law enforcement, and government officials. The book will force students to critically think and do some serious soul searching after reading about other teensâ cyberbullying experiences and perspectives on this devastating worldwide phenomenon, as well as responding to the Questions to Think About and Status Updates at the conclusion of each chapter. I am looking forward to integrating the concepts presented in this book into my high school Digital Citizenship/Cyber Safety classroom, and sharing the book with my colleagues.Theresa Hrubash
Words Wound was a fantastic review on the topic on cyber bullying. I loved how the chapters were broken down into easy to read and understand topics that every audience could enjoy. I enjoyed all the celebrity quotes from multiple generations of fame that were placed throughout the book for everyone to connect to. I feel this book could be used by everyone from a bully or the person being bulled, to a family member to child, teacher to student, law professional to offender, etc. The quizzes were really fun and at the same time important to understand how serious you feel the topic affects you.Words Wound not only went over how to prevent bullying, but how to recognize it, how to stop it, who to go to when things are bad and a wide variety of topics relating to the subject matter. This could easily be a college requirement or found in a grade school library. The content of the material really applies to readers of all ages. This really is necessary buy for anyone interested in delving into the topic of cyber bullying and how to resolve it.
"Words Wound" is a superb work by two men who are at the forefront of dealing with the bullying epidemic on-line! As a superintendent of schools, I am constantly looking for amazing tools that will help my students be able to live amazing lives. This book fits the bill more than any other book I have run into. There are very real life examples of bullying and errors in judgement, taking care of yourself "digitally," learning to "Pause Before You Post," and - most importantly - being proactive on-line by building a Culture of Kindness. There is also a leadership guide for this book available that is very helpful. Patchin & Hinduja were pioneers in creating an amazing tool through Jostens Renaissance called "Pause Before You Post," but this book takes it to a whole new level! There is so much there to use with our kids that it is a little like "drinking out of a firehouse." We will definitely find ways to use this wonderful tool with our kids in our school district!
Words Wound is an excellent read, not only for teens but for parents as well. The book provides helpful tools, insight and resources in preventing as well as assisting someone who is experiencing cyberbullying. For parents, this book coaches us on what signs to look for concerning cyberbullying in children, and ways to address it that will not deter our kids from seeking out our help. For teens, Words Wound, is relatable, providing first-had stories from teens that were either bullied or guilty of bullying, themselves. Along with tips, mini quizzes are offered at the end of each chapter to further promote discussion and thought about cyberbullying. This book is a must read for children, educators and parents alike!
Finally--a book written for tweens and teens to give them some practical, common sense advice on how to to stay safe, be respectful toward others, stand up against hurtful behaviors, and spread kindness in their offline and online social world. I actually think WORDS WOUND is a useful book for adults as well. I personally learned some great tips on how to better protect my online privacy and keep better tabs on my digital reputation. I love that the authors Dr. Justin Patchin and Dr. Sameer Hinduja present evidence-based research findings on cyberbullying in concrete terms to help kinds understand this issue and know what bullying is and isn't.
