“ ‘Please stop’ I pleaded. My knuckles and wrists were swollen and bloody. Red welts covered my skin. I didn’t know what was worse, the physical or the emotional agony.”(116)
In Please Stop Laughing at Me, Jodee Blanco shares with the world a tormented child’s story. Ms. Blanco writes about her adolescent life of changing and never being accepted by her peers. She sympathizes with others who were bullied, and she shows adults that that childhood bulling is not normal. When she changed schools she was accepted until she stood up for others, like children with special needs. She shows the world how bulling can get out of hand, from being teased about your glasses to being hurt physically. Most importantly, she shows the world how after high school she became the most successful out of all her bullies. Now, Ms. Blanco is a New York Times bestselling author and is trying to stop bulling in America, for good. Every person, child, teen or adult, needs to read this book whether they were bullied a lot or have bullied others. Every person, even if they look to be the most popular, happiest person in the world, has at some point felt that
their peers don’t accept them.
