Emmanuel is loving, kind, treat others the way he wants to be treated, and always loves to smile. He enjoys learning, however, going to school is a challenge for him—he is bullied and continuously harassed by one boy who encourages others to join in on the abuse. Despite Emmanuel’s pleas for help and his mother’s complaints, his teachers and higher authorities never do anything about bullying; … preferring instead to ignore the dreadful issue. Fortunately, Emmanuel has a very strong family behind him who isn’t afraid to take on the incompetent school discipline system. Emmanuel always does as he is told—he hears over and over again to ‘tell the teacher,’ but what is Emmanuel supposed to do when his concerns fall on deaf ears.
After being bullied for years, Emmanuel has had enough! He ultimately takes control of the situation as he begins to stand up to his bullies himself. He soon realizes the bullies are protected by the teachers and higher authorities as they get away with bullying countless times. Emmanuel doesn’t understand why no one will help him stand up to his pursuers and why he, not the bully suffers consequences when he defends himself.
This book will appeal to both the children who are being bullied and their parents who are dealing with this dreadful problem which the author refers to as the ‘silent killer.’ Because that’s exactly what bullying is.

Bullying Hurts. The title is very POWERFUL!
I’m the best writer like Charlena e Jackson. But man oh man. This book is the bomb. It blew up my house. LITERALLY
AWSOMEEEEEEE, I never would have thought that an author would write a book about bullying. Charlena e Jackson is LITERALLY is the only author I’ve read that wrote about bullying. SOMETHING FINALLY THAT NEED TO BE SOLVE. About time an author has written something realistic about what needs to be solved around the world. Especially in school. This book talks about how bullying should be solved, teachers and administrators should handle bullying. Great book, I DON”T WANT TO SPOIL IT TOO. I found it in charlenaejackson.wixsite.com. Searching this would help you have access to all her books, helping you also have the access to know when she is dropping another book. Pretty Helpful, because it helps me know when she’s going to release a book. Check it out, buy it, and ENJOY it because IT IS GOOD.
Great Book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My little brother and I read this book together and he loved it so much and so did I! This book gave my brother the courage to speak up and take up for himself. It made us cry and laugh. He said to understand Emmanuel because what Emmanual was going through my brother was going through the same thing. The author made this book come alive! I love the BOLD title! The title is the truth! The author had great strength to title the book Teachers Just Don’t Understand Bullying Hurts!
Oh, BTW, the 2nd edition has additional chapters and the quotes are AMAZING!
This book made us feel and know that we are not alone.
