This recent addition to the In The Know--At Risk series addresses the most common form of bullying among girls--attacking others through their social relationships with gossip, exclusion and slander.

Social Aggression: Words Can Hurt points out that while social or relational aggression is harder to detect and control than physical bullying, it is every bit as cruel and often harder to control, and that its long-term harm is just as great.

The growing ease with which relational aggressors can broadcast their venom through the Internet, Instant Messaging, e-mail and blogging is examined, along with the possibility that the electronic paper trail created by these media may provide a means of tracking down aggressors.

The pamphlet offers sound advice on how to respond effectively to social aggression or help a friend who is being victimized.
