Valle, T. (2017). I don't want to go to school anymore! Seal pocket. Editorial Trillas. Mexico.

«I don't want to go to school anymore! » Is a book that tells, in a very simple way and through real stories, what happens in the classroom. It also proposes solutions to the problem and includes tests to know the level of hostility of school environments and the abilities of children and youth to avoid being victims or aggressors of bullying, as well as psychological profiles.

Bullying is a type of violence that occurs between two minors, it is not a game and we cannot justify it. That «law of silence» that surrounds bullying situations should disappear. We have to be able to identify cases of harassment and take measures that protect both the harassed and the harassed, since in both cases we are talking about children.

The coexistence is a determining and evaluative factor in the educational processes of the schools, so, from the aforementioned work, the importance of prevention against bullying and the attitudes that teachers assume before these situations in the classroom is established.

The objective of this book is to create awareness in children, young people, teachers and parents to stop once and for all this painful problem that exists throughout the world and from which, our country is no exception. For this it offers 5 simple steps:

1. Every day do something good for someone.

2. Do not judge.

3. Say NO to nicknames, pushes and rudeness.

4. Do not feel sorry, make it hurt.

5. If you have nothing good to say, say nothing.

The school experience must be unforgettable for children and young people in the world and that is the main objective: to see the children smile again in the schools. «I don't want to go to school anymore! » opens up a possibility for children and young people to live differently by committing to their own environment, achieving a harmonious coexistence.

The book is a valuable reference material for teachers who are in charge of pedagogical professional training and for future teachers and current tutors who can apply their suggestions in educational practice and contribute to the enrichment and contextualization of the work. It is available for free on the internet.
