JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - s4story -- Today, cleft confidence Coach, bullying expert and founder of RealSophisticatedJoy, Iva Ballou, released an e-book, "Bully Who? A How-To Guide to Recognize Who's Bullying You And Who Are You Bullying," to empower parents and youth with a resource to combat bullying.

Among high school students, 15.5% are cyberbullied and 20.2% are bullied on school property (per CDC). Experts say the amount of cyberbullying has nearly doubled with many children using computers at home (per KII-TV). "Bully Who?" explores ways to recognize bullying behavior, the types of bullying, prevention methods and much more.

"Having been on both sides of bullying, I wanted to know more about what is and isn't considered bullying. The more I talked to other people, the more I realized certain behaviors in all of the people, myself included," said Ballou when asked why she created the e-book. "I wasn't aware of how some of our everyday actions are forms of bullying or how most of us are victims of bullying and don't know it. This book sheds light on that."
