Inspirational Story--Practical Advice Regarding Bullying

This is her second book dealing with how she recovered from all the bullying and went to talk at schools around the country to help other kids who were being bullied and help the bullies to stop. Also addressed parents and teachers. Her advice includes telling the bullied kids to stand up for themselves in a nonviolent way, find friends outside of school even if it means going outside of their school district. Parents should not just send kid for counseling but go with them. Parents need to support their kids and let the kids talk about their problems. Try to come up with an action together that will help the situation. This book has a great message and offers practical help to both the bullied kids and their parents and teachers. It tells how the kids who used to pick on her in school are now her friends and she even married the most popular guy in school that all the girls liked which gives much hope to those going through the same thing. Great book! I recommend this book for all teachers and anyone who is being bullied relentlessly to see there is hope.

A Remarkable Woman

I hated to see this book end. It was like talking to my new best friend. Finally, somebody got it right telling the story of being bullied. I admire Jodee. The work she is doing is so important! I just LOVED this book and hope you write another. Be sure to read the emails and letters at the end of this book. They are sad, but good to know people now have someone to turn to--Jodee!

Bullying is no laughing matter

Applause for Jodee for telling her story to help youth and teens to understand the pain of bullying and harassment behavior. Bullying is a serious problem facing schools in the US. It is a physical and emotional action that has the potential to cause long-term damage to our youth and society. Please Stop Laughing at Us telling a sincere story of the abuse of ones power over another. The one main lesson we can learn from this story is Bullying is not a conflict - it is abuse. This is a great book for parents, teachers and teens to read. Deb Landry Author, Sticks Stones and Stumped!

AMAZING

This book is absolutely amazing. Once I started i couldn't put the book down and though I never bullied or was bullied, this book really made me think. This book made me cry so keep a box of tissues around. You won't regret buying this book, especially if you have been a bully or been bullied in the past!

This is a great book!

I love this book. It let me see that I was not the only person who ever got bullied. I think with all the school violence going on these days, this is really important because so often it is the people who are being bullied that act violently. Jodee Blanco really understands this and I think schools should let their students read. That way maybe there would be fewer of these incidents.
