Taking the Bully by the Horns

Written & Researched by Kathy Noll & Dr. Jay Carter
Aggressive behavior that is intentional with an imbalance of power.
The Definition of Bullying
Welcome to “Taking the Bully by the Horns” website and book. Our work has received awards for “Empowering Students, Making the World a Safer Place, and Saving Children’s Lives.” Our hope and intention is to lessen this epidemic issue that has been depriving children of self-esteem (sometimes leading to violent crimes & suicide) by offering smart, empowering, proactive “bullying” solutions.

Bullying Takes Many Forms
Teasing / Mean Words | Threats / Harassment |
Physical Abuse / Hitting | Mental / Emotional Abuse |
Cyber Bullying / Harmful Texts | Robbery / Damaged Property |
Leaving Someone Out / Exclusion | Gossip / Rumors |
Manipulating Others | Plotting Mischief / Sabotage |
Negative Body Language | Intimidation |

Children who are statistics of bullying fit into 1 of 3 categories:
- Bully
- Victim
- Bystander
Bystanders of bullying are those who stand watching and do nothing.
Many bullies claim to have once been victims of bullying themselves. We need to help prevent this cruel endless cycle.
Victims of bullying would benefit from reading our book “Taking the Bully by the Horns,” helping them improve their self-esteem, find their strength, and learn to trust again.
I faced the thing I feared the most
and now it all seems clear.
I found the strength inside of me.
And all I’ve lost is fear.

Bullying Prevention needs to be top priority in schools now. Half of all schools do not take bullying prevention seriously which puts them at risk of:

- risking the safety of staff and students,
