Middle school isn't just awkward years and growing pains. It's where the rules of power, silence, and belonging are written—and too often, cruelty becomes tradition. What starts as bullying in a hallway can grow into hazing behind closed doors. And by the time adults notice, the harm is already done.
Bullying Leads to Hazing pulls back the curtain on this dangerous cycle. With raw stories, unfliching truths, and strategies that actually work, it challenges parents, educators, and caregivers to stop minimizing, start noticing, and step in before it's too late.
This book doesn't offer quick fixes. It provides something more substantial: a path to raise students who refuse to harm others for acceptance —and who know real belonging doesn't require someone else's pain.
