Masculinity, Bullying, and Aggression
A Young Man's Guide to Contemporary Issues
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 photos show diverse images of masculinity.

Series Review: A Young Man's Guide to Contemporary Issues"This series addresses major issues facing teens today. Masculinity, Bullying and Aggression is a particularly timely resource for stimulating discussion on bullying. Using logic that will resonate with boys, the author argues that traditional masculine traits like courage, strength, and aggression can be expressed in healthy and constructive ways through sports, standing up for bullied peers, or simply being true to one's own beliefs."
