Blubber

You have to read the book.

I have read some negative reviews about this book and can't quite understand what they are complaining about. This book gives you different views of a person being bullied. Wether your apart of it, quiet in a corner, being bullied or the one the table gets turned on. Wendy did get her due justice (not the way we may have wanted), she was called out in front of her minions. By calling her out, and making the others think for themselves, stopped the tirade of this little queen and her minions. This showed children that you can speak up, and yes there will be painful repercussions but you can surpass that too. What there afraid of will happen, but this is what you can do. Not so simple, but possible. As parents we need to at times be a friend and remember what it was like as children. Doing so will help us relate better and hopefully make our children trust and feel comfortable when coming to us. I had a Wendy, a teacher who didn't like Polynesian kids, and would not do anything to My Wendy because of her father's influence. Luckily for me my family that said (those against violence will not like this, but I don't care) "if someone causes trouble to you, tell the teacher,if the teacher does nothing tell the principal and if they still don't do nothing knock em out." Well I told the teacher, I was ignored and was punished. Sent to the principals office because I reported it again and was told "she accidently hit you with a fork, she's very sorry." Humm tell that to my cracked lip, or the scars from pencils being jabbed into my arm. Enough was enough and I clocked her, her friends and her stupid guy friends. Best part was, when our families were called to meet, my family stood behind me. I knew then I was safe, and as long as I stood up for what was right, I had nothing to fear. So if you still feel I acted like a barbarian, I'll send you a picture of a 4 prong scar that was given to me by My Wendy, because I wouldn't give her my homework. This book gives you avenues ...
