Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (2):
Kids say (7):

STOP BULLYING NOW! provides practical, thoughtful advice on dealing with a widespread problem. Using webisodes to illustrate examples of bullying can help kids get a better sense of what kind of behavior can be hurtful. Although the games are not particularly sophisticated, they do a good job reinforcing the ideas presented in the webisodes. The site can be a little glitchy, though -- kids may need to use the side navigation to get to each game, rather than through the main page. Parents will find a wealth of resources on the companion site for adults, from Q-and-As with experts to information on state laws about bullying.

  • Families can talk about bullying. What would you do if you were being bullied? Can you think of any times when you bullied someone else? What advice would give to someone who has been bullied?

  • Webisode #5 on this site shows an example of cyberbullying. Families can talk about cyberbullying and what steps kids can take to protect themselves against it.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
