with more and more cases of bullying, the more subtle variant of violence which covers such phenomena as threats, molestation, discrimination, intimidation, isolation, ignoring, teasing, taunting, etc. This usually happens in such a way that the victims cannot defend themselves adequately.
    Continuous bullying can mean severe stress and a particularly heavy burden with far-reaching consequences for children and young people who have not yet acquired appropriate social competences to cope with such attacks.
    Michael Merk helps parents and teachers recognize and understand bullying situations, assist young people concerned, strengthen their self-confidence, deal with cases of bullying, and prevent it wherever possible.
