It is an unflinching look at what it means to be the outcast, how even the most loving parents can get it all wrong, why schools are often unable to prevent disaster, and how bullying has been misunderstood and mishandled by the mental health community. <P>You will be shocked, moved, and ultimately inspired by this harrowing tale of survival against insurmountable odds. This vivid story will open your eyes to the harsh realities and long-term consequences of bullying - and how all of us can make a difference in the lives of teens today. 647861 1 3 2003 Please Stop Laughing at Me: One Woman's Inspirational Story total:809|5:174|4:261|3:224|2:102|1:48| 809 2838 1178 231 1 8 false false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Fri Dec 21 11:19:58 -0800 2007 Wed Jan 16 12:39:35 -0800 2008 more...]]> 2 3 false false Wed Sep 03 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 16 13:04:35 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 06 08:34:45 -0700 2008
