“Just kidding!” That’s what D.J’s friend, Vince, says when he does something to hurt D.J’s feelings. It’s supposed to make what he says seem like a joke, but D.J. doesn’t think it’s funny.

Speaker and children’s advocate, Trudy Ludwig, takes a rare look at emotional bullying among boys—situations where a buddy can be a bully and where two innocent words can mask a painful reality.
