Book description
In her poignant work, Jodee Blanco tells how school became a
frightening and painful place, where threats, humiliation, and assault
were as much a part of her daily experience as bubblegum and lip-gloss
were for others. It is an unflinching look at what it means to be an
outcast, how even the most loving parents can get it wrong, why schools
fail, and how bullying is both misunderstood and mishandled. In her
