Lead me from death to life,
from falsehood to truth.
Lead me from despair to hope,
from fear to trust.
Lead me from hate to love,
from war to peace.
Let peace fill your heart,
my world, my universe.
Amen....

Please Stop Laughing at Me… By: Jodee Blanco


          Most people have experienced an ordeal of physical or mental abuse at least once in their lives. In my own experiences, High School was crucial. Bullying is something that should not be tolerated anymore at any time in an individuals life. This type of abuse does not only take place when we are children. Please Stop Laughing at Me is Jodee’s way of portraying bullying. This book portrays Jodee’s life in school and how she was tormented and shunned by her peers. Her life was not made easy by the individuals she knew until her reunion. By reading this book you will experience bullying through Jodee’s eyes and learn how we should respect others and understand their feelings. All it takes to make someone feel important is saying hi to them or sitting with them at lunch. Don’t let others motivate you to hate. I would recommend this book to everyone, especially those who have been bullied and those that are doing the bullying. It is not a surprise that this book made the New York Times Bestseller’s list. This book can help others understand bullying and how it can be prevented. This book also come with a readers guide to help us better understand the book.
