"In this timely update of the seminal classic, author and activist Jodee Blanco reveals how she simply set out to share her story-and ended up igniting a grassroots movement in the nation's schools. The first survivor of school bullying to look back on those experiences as an adult, Jodee brings you up to speed on her life and work since the book's initial release with a new chapter, all-new Letter to My Readers, and Reader's Guide. She also offers the latest information on digital and cyberbullying, the Adult Survivor of Peer Abuse, her in-school antibullying program, INJJA (It's NOT Just Joking Around!), and provides discussion questions for schools. While other children were daydreaming about dances, first kisses, and college, Jodee Blanco was trying to figure out how to go from homeroom to study hall without being taunted or spit upon as she walked through the halls. This powerful, unforgettable memoir chronicles how one child was shunned-and even physically abused-by her classmates from elementary school through high school. 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"--

The #1 New York Times bestselling (mostly true) memoir from the hilarious author of Furiously Happy. “Gaspingly funny and wonderfully inappropriate.”—O, The Oprah Magazine When Jenny Lawson was little, all she ever wanted was to fit in. That dream was cut short by her fantastically unbalanced father and a morbidly eccentric childhood. It did, however, open up an opportunity for Lawson to find the humor in the strange shame-spiral that is her life, and we are all the better for it. In the irreverent Let’s Pretend This Never Happened, Lawson’s long-suffering husband and sweet daughter help her uncover the surprising discovery that the most terribly human moments—the ones we want to pretend never happened—are the very same moments that make us the people we are today. For every intellectual misfit who thought they were the only ones to think the things that Lawson dares to say out loud, this is a poignant and hysterical look at the dark, disturbing, yet wonderful moments of our lives.

This book was written for the missing generations of 1960 and 1970, during which a lot of young people had been deprived of their right of education, employment, freedom of residence, and not to mention free speech, even lovemaking. In the last phase of Cultural Revolution, in order to clean up the mess of political struggle, Mao Zedong sent the vast majority of students to the farmland to accept so-called reeducation from poor peasants. The young people in Guangdong province, especially in Guangzhou City, were luckier than in other provinces because they were close to Hong Kong and had chances to risk their lives to escape. The lucky ones had chances to climb up Mount Wutong and walk down the Swallow Cliff to enter the New Territories in Hong Kong by climbing over barbed wires and swimming across the Deep Bay in the west or Mirs Bay in the east; it was the turning point of their lives. However, the bad-luck fugitives would break their legs when stepping in the wild boar trap, lose their lives with poisonous snakebites, become meals for the sharks, or drowned in the sea; they had sacrificed their precious lives for freedom. How could the local people with inherent freedom feel the unforgettable joy to set the feet successfully on the free land New Territories and deeply inhale the fresh air there? How could most people understand the feeling of sorrow and helplessness to face brothers or friends dying tragically and unable to help with their hands? The deceased had been long gone and the survivors moved on. There always is worship in heart during Qingming or Chongjiu memorial days, but how can a chicken, a pot of wine, a bouquet of flowers, or a bundle of incense be enough to express the lifelong grief? I hope this book will give survivors a little precious memory and the deceased an eternal remembrance.
