Narrative Supposing Books Please Stop Laughing at Me... One Woman's Inspirational Story
In her poignant work, Jodee Blanco tells how school became a frightening and painful place, where threats, humiliation, and assault were as much a part of her daily experience as bubblegum and lip-gloss were for others. It is an unflinching look at what it means to be an outcast, how even the most loving parents can get it wrong, why schools fail, and how bullying is both misunderstood and mishandled.Rating Appertaining To Books Please Stop Laughing at Me...

I would have given this book more stars but some how I feel the author got lost and sort of forgot what it was like to be a teen she began to write more like an adult. She would say things like they don't like me cause I am different or very adult like justifications. It makes sense because she is an adult but I think trying to write it from her younger years experience and point of view she could had gotten into the mind of a 14-17 year old a little bit better.I really hated how she never knewWhat was this book supposed to be again? Inspirational? A book on tips to prevent bullying?It wasn't either. It was Jodee Blanco's narcissistic tale of how great she was and how awfully everyone else treated her. I just didn't understand. She gave NO clues as to why these kids bullied the living crap out of her. She didn't show any signs that she had risen above the horrible people that bullied her. In fact, in the end, she even WANTED them to like her! It made no sense whatsoever. She also had
I know I have been accused in the past of giving some overly harsh reviews; but just trust me on this one, I am being generous this time around with my one-star rating. Seriously, I don't even know where to start... I was annoyed on so many levels. Blanco is so self-absorbed and self-important that it's almost impossible to feel any empathy for her as the "victim" of bullying. The only reason she ever really offers for the bullying that plagued her throughout her entire school career is that she
I love this book. From start to finish it was great. Many people have experienced some type of bullying or peer pressure during sometime in their life. Just like Jodee Blanco. I find it interesting how she can go through all the beatings and hurtful things her classmates do to her. This book shows Jodee's highschool life on how she was treated by her peers. In Jodee's perspective, highschool seemed to be the scariest place that she was forced to go to. She shows all the things that happens in

I read this in one sitting because I couldn't bear the thought of having to pick it up to finish later. It was the worst book I've read in ages. Moreover, I have strong doubts about the validity of the stories told in part because there are anachronistic inconsistencies (for example: call waiting in a story that clearly took place in the late 70s/early 80s considering her favorite band was STYX). The dialogue is downright horrible; it doesn't even attempt to ring true and contributes a jarring
What a page-turner in the beginning - I hated those mean kids who kept bullying Jodee and was rooting for her to come out on top. Slowly, however, her holier-than-thou attitude started to shine through, and not only did I begin to dislike her, but also noticed that the bullying situations she described were brought on by her own bratty behavior. I feel like she exaggerated her stories to emphasize her victim-status. I also noticed that she wrote often about cliche situations (which further
