Masculinity, Bullying, and Aggression

So many aspects of our popular culture, including male subcultures such as fraternities and gangs, tell boys that being aggressive is fundamentally, quintessentially male. Is it any surprise that many boys come to believe that in order to be real men, they must be aggressive? This book offers the opposite message to young men, that they can be safe and strong without resorting to violence and aggression. The author provides thoughtful advice about dealing with bullying and cyberbullying, managing anger, and dealing with emotions nonviolently. Appealing photographs show diverse images of masculinity.
