Author Marion Scher's latest book "Big Bully: An Epidemic of Unkindness" is hot off the press! The book, based on interviews in schools, workplaces and homes, tells the story of an epidemic of unkindness, uncovering the stories of bullies all around us. The online environment has given bullies a much wider range of tools to use to abuse their targets. Marion Scher tracks the links between bullying and Mental Health issues.

As Marion says: ‘I had to brace myself to hear the often heartbreaking and vicious stories from those who encountered torturous relationships. The big question I kept asking myself was, “How could you get involved with such a person?” But just who is that kind of person, and is it even possible to spot them?’

She calls on the advice of a range of experts to help make sense of the bullies and their victims, to help manage the bully boss, the bully in school and the bully in a relationship.

The book has stories, statistics, advice and helps the reader to understand how bullies work.

It’s time for victims to call bullies to account and for schools, workplaces and society as a whole to put a stop to the tormentors.
