Abstract

Bipley is a warm cuddly creature, but someone has broken his heart. He feels so hurt that he decides it is just too painful to ever love again. When he meets some big tough Honks in the wood, they teach him how to harden his heart so that he doesn't have to feel hurt any more. Luckily Bipley meets some creatures that teach him how he can protect himself without hardening his heart. The guidebook will help childern who: bully or take revenge on others for the pain they have felt themselves

have become very defensive because something too painful has happened to them; have hardened their hearts because they have: been too hurt in love, met with too much harshness, witnessed parental violence, been repeatedly hit, been shamed or humiliated, or had too many experiences of not being responded to; think they have lost their parent's love to someone else and have hardened their heart.

Abstract

Bullying in schools has garnered significant attention recently, but little has been said about the bullying of homosexuals and transexual students in Canadian high schools. This book fills that gap by exploring the experiences of youth who identify or are identified as "queer." Based on interviews with recent high school graduates in British Columbia, these researchers provide stories of physical, verbal, and emotional harassment in this group and offer insights into the negative outcomes that result from the experience of being bullied. On the other hand, however, these young people were not helpless victims: many learned to rely on resistance, inner strength, and true friends. In the last chapter, the authors make recommendations for handling homophobic and transphobic bullying in high schools and supporting students who experience this form of harassment.
