While reading this book, it made me realize that so many young kids go through their teen years being afraid to be themselves. I was one of them. As I got toward the end of the book, I realized I can be myself 24/7. Bullies do exist, but you can’t pay attention to them. They’re the ones that need some kind of help or needs to boost there self-esteem. But remember you can’t be a bully back, try to be nice and offer friendship. It may or may not work; the important thing is that you tried. I loved this book and I know you will!
Chantal! This sounds soooo good! So many different teens can relate to a book like this! I'll be sure to read it over the summer break, and will look forward to reading this. Good job Chantal
ReplyDeleteWow! Great post - you made me want to read this book. As teachers, we talk a lot about bullying, but sadly it still exists. Figuring out ways to help kids who are being bullied feel empowered would be a powerful solution for the Jodee Blanco's in our school!
ReplyDeleteThis is such an important book for everyone to read. You have quite a theme going on in your reading choice and you are really getting others interested in these great books, as well. Love the book pic!

ReplyDeleteGood review.It sounds like a book that people in life can relate to and how people shouldn't be a shamed and just tell someone that something that you don't like is happening.
ReplyDeleteChanty you should always be yourself!!! Your soo much fun to be around! And I think your right about the bullying thing, someone is no better than the bully if they are rude back. This was a great post! Nice Job!

ReplyDeleteChanty, as you know I have read this book before, and the impact is incredible. You hear about bullying, and you know it is a horrible thing. But people have no idea about how far bullying can go. If I am correct, this book is based of Jodee's real high school life. I was literally reading the book, and I couldn't believe some of the things she went through. People threw rocks at her, THREW ROCKS!! How do you think someone feels??? And she didn't even do anything wrong. It is just so unfair, it makes me sick. I am glad that you are not afraid to stand up about bullying. And lastly Chanty, never be afraid to be yourself, because you are such a great person!
ReplyDeleteyou did a nice job explaining this book and I have noticed that a lot of kids are afraid to be themselfs because of what other people think. I think I might read this book in the summer, Nice job!
