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.
