Annotation:
This nonfiction book exposes the the often hidden world of hazing. It provides lots of information about hazing including definitions of the two different types, how to recognize it, it's relationship to alcohol, sports, and gangs, and 15 suggestions on how to end it.

Booktalk Review:
This book is a great resource for any teen or adult who is interested in learning more about hazing. Although hazing is not new, it seems as though it is becoming more destructive and even fatal. People who are victims of hazing are many times left with negative feelings. This is the perfect guide and reference book for anyone who thinks they, or someone they know, is a victim of hazing. If you think you or someone you know is a victim of hazing, please seek help from a trusted adult immediately.
