Please Don't Pick On Me is a children's book designed to tackle the tough issue of bullying. It does not focus on the physical aspect, but it does point out the name calling, staring, and ostracizing of children for being different. This book is designed to make kids aware that words do hurt and they can be a lasting scar. It is also designed to make parents think about the way they handle bullying with their child or other children.
It is not normal childlike behavior to make fun of someone. As adults, we need to take a more proactive role in combating bullying, but not just by telling kids to ignore it. Ignoring the issue only makes kids suppress their feelings and feel unworthy.
