Please Stop Laughing at Me 3

Blanco's parents are great. They listen to Jodee. I get loopy around blood. I even get loopy around the idea of blood. So, of course it is possible that I get loopy at the idea of being bullied or crying during middle school. It is sad! I do not know how I would deal with my children like Jodee's parents did. My mom hates seeing me cry. Jodee's parents probably hated seeing her come home every day crying because everyone was mean to her, or even seeing it for themselves through evidence of scars or her destroyed personal property.
The saddest part is when she starts to hide those scars. She thought she was doing her parents a favor because she knows all they want is to see her happy and with friends fitting in. I would hate to see my child come home everyday crying. But then, finding out all a long they were just hiding it instead of coming home crying everyday, I think I would be even more upset.
I think the best thing they do is get her professional help. Although Jodee is scared out of her mind about going to the doctor, and stubborn as hell, I think that it is more for her parents. It is for their own satisfaction and reassurance as parents that they are doing the right things, which are anything and everything. No, it is not selfish that they are doing this so they can understand what is wrong with her. At the same time, Jodee is going to be told why she is given such a hard time.
But, I bet she is going to say, “Nobody understands me, I am just different.” And, of course a doctor won’t take that for an answer and he will come up with some diagnosis, which Jodee’s doctor does.
