Please Stop Laughing at Us...: One Survivor's Extraordinary Quest to Prevent School Bullying

With her New York Times bestselling memoir Please Stop Laughing at Me..., the shocking story of how she was tormented by her classmates from elementary through high school, Jodee Blanco sparked a landmark movement in our nation's schools. In this compelling sequel, she responds to the demand for more information from teens, parents, educators, and other adult survivors like herself who have come to know and trust her as the champion of their cause.

She provides advice, answers, and solutions, set against the dramatic narrative of her own deeply personal journey as the survivor who unexpectedly finds herself the voice of America's forgotten students. Persuasive and enlightening, this is the definitive work on school bullying, and the story of America's rejected youth from the perspective of the one person with unprecedented access to the truth about what's going on in our schools. Travel with her as she witnesses the apathy of teachers and administrators who ignore students in peril, and celebrate with her as she meets adults in the school system who are risking everything for their students. The author exposes both the strengths and vulnerabilities of a nation too clouded by empty rhetoric and self-defense to understand the crisis that is crying out to be addressed.
