Book Review of Please Stop Laughing at Me: One Woman's Inspirational Story

Please Stop Laughing at Me: One Woman's Inspirational Story
Helpful Score: 7


I'm with the other person that said this story seems a bit far-fetched. While I appreciate the idea behind the book, about wanting to help other people, I don't particularly believe that everything in this book is true. I was bullied severely in school, to the point that I dropped out of high school. The abuse was hardly ever physical. The abusers usually don't want to do anything by mentally beat you down. Thats why I find some of the physical abuse in this book hard to believe.

The whole story seems like some sort of fantasy she was having. Going to Greece and "finding" herself and the school reunion and all that fluff just seems like some sort of fairy tale going on in her head. It isn't likely that this story is true, so don't fall for it.
