Book Club Questions for Please Stop Laughing at Me


I reviewed Please Stop Laughing at Me here

It's not a typical book club book, so I didn't manage to find book club questions for it, so I wrote the following myself.

1. Why do you think Jodee was bullied?
2. Were her parents sympathetic or unsympathetic?
3. Do you think the spin the bottle episode when she was in 6th grade was normal 6th grade behavior?
4. Did Jodee do the right thing in phoning her parents or should she have remained silent?
5. Why was that the end of her friends being nice to her?
6. What would you advise your children to do in a similar situation?
7. When Jodee and her family moved, she made friends with the neighborhood children, but why did they turn on her when she started school?
8. Why did her parents send her to a therapist? Was it her fault she was bullied?
9. Why did she not want to go and see the therapist?
10. Jodee was an only child, do you think only children have a more difficult time forming friendships at school?
11. Why wouldn’t Jodee tell when she was bullied at high school?
12. Some people think a tough time at school makes a stronger person, do you agree?
13. Did you fear your own school reunions, and if so, why?
14. Do you think they really apologized at her 20-year reunion?
15. Why did it take her 20 years to recover from the severe bullying?
16. What is the solution to bullying?
