"It's Not Just Joking Around":
A Survivor's Guide to Bullying & Peer Abuse
- Biggest mistakes parents make
- Why schools are unable to prevent disaster

- Bullying misdiagnosed by mental health community
Activist and youth advocate Jodee Blanco is the author of New York Times Bestselling memoir, Please Stop Laughing at Me ... One Woman's Inspirational Story, and the Creator and Executive Producer of the critically acclaimed It's NOT Just Joking Around™ anti-bullying education program. Jodee's profound personal experience as a survivor of adolescent peer abuse, coupled with her unprecedented access to the inner trenches of the American school system make her one of the nation's most uniquely qualified experts on the subject. Her innate understanding of why kids abuse other kids continues to be a catalyst for change in hundreds of schools across America.
Jodee is driven by thousands of letters and speaking requests she receives from students, parents, teachers, and adult survivors. She is committed to turning her pain into purpose. Jodee travels to communities nation-wide sharing her story of tragedy, triumph and forgiveness. In addition to her impact in middle and high schools, she is now influencing the social climate at university campuses with her landmark anti-hazing program, The Desperate Freshman™.
Jodee has emerged as the voice of hope for a previously unacknowledged population, the adult survivor of peer abuse. Through her innovative workshops in which she draws from her own victory - one that transcends the wounds of her youth - she is helping thousands of other people like herself to reclaim their lost dignity.
Jodee is regularly sought after by governmental agencies and the national media including CNN, Newsweek, NBC and FOX to help America understand the emotional reasons behind the behavior of American students. Ms. Blanco is on the faculties of New York University and the University of Chicago.
