The Bully Vaccine is the newest book from author Jennifer Hancock.

This book is designed to help parents vaccinate their kids against bullies and other obnoxious petty people. By preparing for them in advance you can effectively inoculate yourself against the worst of their behavior.

The goal is to not be the sort of person a bully targets. It is much easier to prevent bullying than it is to stop it once it starts.

Much of the egregious and violent bullying that is occuring is actually an escalation of less intense forms of bullying. If you can prevent the bullying from happening in the first place, you can prevent it from escalating.

If you or your child are trying to cope with bullying that is persistent, egregious and/or ongoing, this book will teach how to stop the bullying from continuing. It isn't easy, but it can be done if you know how. This book provides very specific and practical information on how exactly to go about ending bullying.

This book is written as much for tweens and teens as it is for the parents of kids of any age. The more you understand about the dynamic of what is happening, the better able you will be able to help your child navigate the social situations they find themselves in. And the sooner you teach them these skills, the better off they are going to be.

Regardless of your child's age, this book can help you teach your child the practical skills they need to cope with the bullies they will encounter in life. It is never too young to start. I taught these skills to my son when he was in kindergarten and he was able to learn them and use them successfully.

In this book you will find:

• Practical information on how to vaccinate yourself so that you don't make a good target.
• What exactly to do if you have decided to stand up to bullies to protect someone else.
• How to stop bullying after it's started.
• And how to get help when you need it.

No parent wants to see their kid suffer. If you want to learn how to protect your child, this book will help you teach them the skills they need to be successfully inoculated against bullying..

Excerpt from the introduction:

The world is filled with approximately 7 billion people. That’s a lot of people.  And while most of us are of the go along to get along type who try to be nice to everyone we meet. There are unfortunately a small segment of our fellow humans who are, simply put, obnoxious.

Be they petty, rude or just downright mean, it seems that wherever you go, there will be at least one obnoxious person, or perhaps a group of them, who will, for whatever reason they have, try to make other people miserable.

While you can pick your friends, you can’t always pick your acquaintances or relatives.  The unfortunately reality is that unless you renounce society entirely and go live in a cave, you are going to be thrown into circumstances where you will have to be around people who are quite simply unpleasant. Be it at work, or at school or in some club you have joined, the likelihood that you will run into a bully or simply an unpleasantly petty person is high.

Since it is an almost certainty that all of us will at some point have to deal with bullies and/or petty and obnoxious people, it is a good idea to be prepared and have a strategy to deal with these unpleasant obnoxious people before you encounter them.
