Friendship, hurtful behavior, and finding support

Monica and Katie have been friends since kindergarten, but Katie’s unkind behavior leaves Monica unsure of what is happening between them. The story addresses relational aggression—such as name-calling, manipulation, and exclusion—within a friendship. With support from her mother, Monica learns ways to cope and regain a sense of agency. The book also includes discussion questions, practical tips, and additional resources, extending its focus beyond the story for conversations about bullying among friends.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children exploring difficult or changing friendships
  • Parents and caregivers looking for a starting point for conversations about bullying
  • Teachers and counselors seeking discussion material on relational aggression

Book overview

THE SECRET'S OUT ON BULLYING

Here is the all-too-familiar story of Monica. She and Katie have been friends since kindergarten. Monica loves being around her when she's nice. But there are times when Katie can be just plain mean. And Monica doesn't understand why.

Monica is a target of relational aggression, emotional bullying among friends who will use name-calling and manipulation to humiliate and exclude. But with a little help from a supportive adult--her mother--Monica learns to cope and thrive by facing her fears and reclaiming power from her bully.

Including a foreword by the founder of the The Ophelia Project, as well as helpful tips, discussion questions, and additional resources, My Secret Bully is a vital resource for children, parents, teachers, and counselors.
