|  | | B-Force, a Banish Bully Brigade Book
B-FORCE is a comic book featuring a superhero and super-heroine who are trying to stamp out bullying, by teaching victims how to deal with it and by helping bullies recognize and deal with the reasons behind their behavior.
Approximately 160,000 students stay home from school every day because they’re afraid of being bullied. The effects of bullying can last a lifetime, not only on the victim but also on those who observe it.
Reporting such acts isn’t ratting someone out. It’s taking responsibility for the wellbeing of you and your friends. It’s taking power away from the bully and reclaiming it for his or her victims.
