  About Jodee Blanco

Jodee Blanco walked through the halls of her elementary, middle and high schools, knowing that at any moment, she would be tormented, teased, called names and physically harmed. She went to school every day, approaching it like a battlefield, she  against the bullies who ruined her childhood.

And then Jodee reached a breaking point.

Pushed to the edge, Jodee attempted to bring a butcher knife to school. To this day, she says that had her mother not found the knife in her book bag and confiscated it, she believes she would have gone through with her desperate impulse.

After moving on to become a successful entertainment publicist, Jodee Blanco has dedicated her life to turning the pain of her past into purpose. With her New York Times bestselling memoir Please Stop Laughing At Me…, the shocking story of how she was tormented by her classmates from elementary through high school, this courageous woman sparked a landmark movement in our nation's schools. In the compelling memoir just hitting stores now, Please Stop Laughing At Us…. One Survivor's Extraordinary Quest to Prevent School Bullying, she responds to the demand for more information from teens, parents, educators and other adult survivors like herself who have come to know and trust her as the champion of their cause.

  About the Book

Jodee provides you with advice, answers and solutions, set against the narrative of her own personal journey as the survivor of peer abuse who finds herself the voice of America's forgotten students. For the past six years, she has been working deep inside the trenches of our schools with students, teachers and parents in an effort to motivate change. She has witnessed the apathy of teachers and administrators who ignore students in peril and been inspired by adults in the school system who are risking everything for their students.

What you will learn from Please Stop Laughing at Us…:

  • The typical profile of the bullied child
  • What you should and should never say to a bullied child and why
  • The two types of bullies and why one is innocuous and the other dangerous
  • The two types of popular student and how one can be utilized to help shift the social dynamic of a school from the inside out
  • How the bully and the victim are often flipsides of the same coin
  • Why traditional punishment doesn't work and why it needs to be supplemented by compassionate discipline, among other vital information.

"… an exposé of America's schools today, a shocking look at how many of today's students in peril are ignored." Curriculum Review

Along with sharing her experiences as she travels the nation's schools, Jodee gives tips not only for those bullied, the bullies and the bystanders, but also for parents, educators and adult survivors of peer abuse. Here is a sample of some of the advice Jodee gives:

Advice for educators
Remember, the bully and the victim are flipsides of the same coin. Both are bleeding emotionally; both need the love and support. When approaching the bully, begin the conversation on an encouraging note with something like, "Johnny, I enjoy being your teacher and I know you're a really good kid; that's why it surprised me when you…." Then, launch into the issue you need to discuss, trying to be as general as possible and only using the victim's name if there's no other alternative. This will help to prevent retaliation later on.

Advice for parents
Be alert to warning signs that your child may be getting bullied. Those signs could include: lethargy, depression, self-mutilation, extreme makeover attempts, diminished personal hygiene, lack of interest in social activities, sudden change in weight, inexplicable fits of rage, sudden increase or decrease in grades, and faking illness or willing oneself sick to avoid going to school.

Advice for Adult Survivors of Peer Abuse
Turn your pain into purpose and reach out to your local school district and ask if you could speak to students about your experiences to help create awareness of how hurtful bullying can be.

DLAM is designed to inspire students, along with their teachers and other educators, to transform their classrooms and schools into "Ridicule Free Zones". Children participating in DLAM learn that by working together they can positively shape their school environment, and eventually bring this message to the broader community. The program materials include a curriculum guide, CD, and video for both schools and summer camps. The school program consists of two separate curricula; one developed for grades 2-5 and the second developed for grades 6-8.  Visit operationrespect.org

Free Preview of God's Shrink by Dr. Michael Adamse

 
     
 

 

  Like most seasoned psychiatrists, Dr. Richard Johnson thought he'd heard it all. His assuredness falters when a first-time client arrives at his office and announces that he is God. Listening intently to the man, who is obviously suffering from severe psychosis, he agrees to take the case. What transpires over the course of the next nine sessions will test everything in the doctor's bag of tricks. As he struggles to unravel the client's illness before he becomes a danger to himself, a chilling series of coincidences and events cause him to question everything he thought he knew about himself, his place in the world, and life after death. Was their time together the revelations of divinity or the ramblings of a delusional? What's possible? You decide... Ten sessions. A lifetime of answers.

Dr. Michael Adamse has also authored Affair of the Net and Anniversary. He received his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Miami after completing a pre-doctoral fellowship at Yale University. Dr. Adamse currently lectures worldwide for Nova Southeastern University where he holds an appointment as Adjunct Professor. He also served as a captain in the U.S. Army Reserve.
