Please Stop Laughing at Me

Please Stop Laughing at Me-Jodee Blanco

As a person who was bullied in elementary school, I thought this book would somehow speak to/relate to me in some way. I expected a book that would tell of one woman's journey through all the bullying trials. After all, the title and subtitle seems to hint at that, but I was pretty disappointed that it lacked that element.
I also expected this book to address bullying in schools as it's a pretty serious matter, but it did not. I also expected Blanco to give some sort of insight or wisdom on how to cope with bullying, but she did not. I don't think many young people who are experiencing bullying will be able to connect with this book. What I wish would have been included was ways to overcome and grow from the experiences.


I received this book for free from Booksneeze.com.
