Relation During 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.

I gave this book a high rating because it made me think. Have things changed? (I hope schools are more sensitive and pro active in addressing bullying. I like to think most people are compassionate towards others. I see most students being sympathetic to those with apparent disabilities.)What is my part of making sure no one I know is bullied or bullies? Also, there is no excuse for a bully, but why did this happen to her at 3 different schools--any patterns? Anything to be learned from her

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 knew

One of the worst books I ever read

I don't see what was so "inspirational" about Please Stop Laughing at Me. Mainly it was one long whine about how the author was bullied throughout her school years. I'm a survivor of bullying myself and her stories rang true, but Jodee Blanco's so-called "insights" rang hollow. She might as well have just said, "I got treated horribly in school, but I'm a stronger person now" instead of having to stretch that one sentence into 276 pages. She also promised to provide answers to the bullying

Oh man, this is tough. Let me begin with a nice, positive statement.I have compassion for people who are/were bullied in school. I WAS bullied in school, so I get it. And some of what Jodee Blanco writes about is gut-wrenching and terribly sad.BUT...I have never seen such a bad case of passive-aggressive/martyr syndrome/narcissism in my life. Am I the only one who thinks this?When a person transfers to about ten different schools in their lifetime, trying to escape the bullying from the last

What 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'm mostly reviewing this because the other reviews I'm seeing on this site are creeping me the hell out. For anyone who doesn't know, the book is a memoir of a girl who suffered severe physical assaults and emotional abuse at the hands of bullies from middle school through high school. And the general conclusion around here seems to be that Jodee Blanco is annoying, and if she weren't, none of this would have happened; I'm reading a lot of "Of course I don't want to blame the victim, BUT..."
