When No One Sees

What happens when bullying carries on while almost no one sees it? Behind silence, peer pressure and seemingly minor incidents, there may be a pattern that leaves lasting scars.

In When No One Sees, Michel Peen combines personal experience with clear explanations and practical guidance. The book shows how bullying and cyberbullying develop, why bystanders often stay silent, and why a victim's reaction must never be judged in isolation from what came before it.

The book goes beyond describing what goes wrong. It helps you act, with guidance on the first 24 and 72 hours, preserving evidence, drawing up a safety plan, talking to the school, involving the wider group and supporting recovery. Checklists, tools and worksheets make it ready to use.

For people who are bullied and those close to them, as well as parents, teachers, school mentors, school leaders, support workers and other professionals who take people's safety and wellbeing seriously.

Because bullying does not stop on its own. Seeing what remains hidden is the first step towards real change.
