About the author

J.E. Jaffe

J.E. Jaffe began his career in the high-stakes world of cryptocurrency, where fierce competition often turned personal. He founded a crisis management company to help people navigate volatile online situations.

Along the way, he was deeply impacted by the stories of bullied youth and began researching how schools, institutions, and families address the issue. What he found was a need for more nuanced, practical solutions that could work in real life.

He regularly consults with parents, teachers, guidance counselors, and older siblings who are trying to help a young person through bullying, intimidation, social pressure, or online conflict.

The strategies in The Bully Stops Here are built on simple but powerful psychological principles: bullies look for emotional payoff, and the right response can take that payoff away.
