Please Stop Laughing at Me 6

Prom is usually the perfect way to end high school. For Jodee, it seemed that possibly things would end the same way. But that one night was all. It was not over until high school was truly over ... that last day when Jodee asked Tyler to sign her yearbook and he wrote: You'll have to f*** yourself, we hate you b****.
Jodee was not stupid for trying to make one last effort to redeem herself, or redeem others in her own book. If only the people were more receptive. But then again, everyone is immature in high school. AND IF ONLY that could count as an excuse for what happened to Jodee Blanco. Hell if people are still immature in high school, they are merely babies that no no better in middle school and grade school. Once again though, if only that was an excuse. Truly, there is not one.
Blanco's final chapter brings me back to my first day of high school and the question I still ask myself: Why the hell did I ever get out of that car? HOW did I get out?
It seems like so far away, and for Jodee it was ten years at that reunion. To someone like her, you would think everything would be so overwhelmingly nightmarish ... you would think she would not have gotten out of the car. But I was so relieved to find out that she did.
There could have not been a more perfect ending to the worst beginning. Written beautifully throughout its entirety, “Please Stop Laughing at Me,” is probably one of the best books I have ever read. Although at times painful to imagine, the book hits you so close to home when you think about your own experiences with bullies, or people you have known. Hopefully, it will teach people to firstly stand up for themselves, and secondly for others.
