Catching Fireflies

Catching Fireflies by Sherryl Woods
(Sweet Magnolia’s 9 out of 11)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was a very interesting book that addresses the problems with bullying especially in high school. It is a subject that has gotten a lot of attention lately. While the subject has always existed it seems to have significantly worse with the extreme popularity of social networking sites. While these sites have been in existence for a while; ie Facebook . Our obsession with these sites is reasonable new though with the invention of facebook and twitter. It now seems to be a place where bullying is running rampant.
These are some of the issues that are discussed in this book and while it seems for the most part to be handled very realisticly there was one area that to me did not make sense. When the adults in the story figured out it was bullying no one seemed to understand that the place to look for evidence was on the Internet. It seemed that while no was surprised bullying was going on it did not occur to them to look on the social networking sites. I also thought that it seemed strange that once they did figure it out that no one thought to suggest to the victims that they might wantto avoid those sites at least until the legalities were sorted out and everyone involved in the torture was punished.
In this day and age with all the media coverage on this issue it seems like we need to be even more aware of what our children our seeing and posting on such sites. There is no longer any excuse for being unaware.
This is an excellent book that held my attention from beginning to end and I would strongly recommend it to anyone with an adolescent.
