Surviving Girlhood: Building Positive Relationships, Attitudes and Self-Esteem to Prevent Teenage Girl Bullying
Rachel Beddoe
Teenage girls can be mean. Often stemming from poor self-awareness, self-esteem and lack of relationship skills, complex friendship dynamics can be difficult to unravel and bullying can be hard to resolve.
Surviving Girlhood provides a unique resource for preventing girl bullying by addressing the root causes and helping girls to be strong, positive individuals. Part 1 covers the facts on girl bullying, how to understand it, and the particular complexity of girls. Part 2 includes over 60 tried-and-tested activities that will help girls understand their needs, values, beliefs and influences as drivers for their behaviour. Through five key themes, from 'Being Me' to 'Conflict Resolution', they will also build self-awareness, self-esteem, and strong relationship skills.
This photocopiable resource will be an invaluable tool for teachers, youth workers, counsellors, youth offending teams, behavioural specialists and all those working with girls aged 11--16.

Reviews for Surviving Girlhood: Building Positive Relationships, Attitudes and Self-Esteem to Prevent Teenage Girl Bullying
Youth in Mind This book is a useful resource for preventing girl bullying, written by experienced anti-bullying officers... There are two sections... The theory part... includes sections on cyber-bullying and social media... The second art provides small group tasks, including activities to promote self-respect, manage friendships, and develop conflict resolution skills. This book is primarily aimed at school staff, but would also be useful for youth workers and clinicians... this provides a useful proactive toolkit for helping adolescent girls to develop self-respect and establish positive relationships with others.
