Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Blubber is a novel by Judy Blume, first published in 1974.Linda Fischer, the pudgiest girl (though not the pudgiest student) in Mrs. Minish's fifth-grade class, is singled out for bullying (physical and emotional) by Wendy, the classroom's queen bee, and everyone, including the narrator, Jill Brenner, happily joins in. Then the tables turn on Jill and suddenly, it’s not funny any more.Blubber was banned from many school libraries and reading lists because of violence and language. | |

Actual Pacifist: Linda tries to solve the problem by dialogue. It fails. | |

Adults Are Useless | |
| Blubber / int_a939d96a | comment |
Adults Are Useless: The teachers scold the kids occasionally for their antics (Miss Rothbelle even makes them stay after school and write sentences), but never make a move to stop it. Jill's mother comforts her when the class turns on her, but doesn't step in to actually help her. When Jill and Tracy are forced to rake Mr. Machinist's yard as punishment for their prank, Jill's dad defends the girls when Machinist (rightly, at least in Jill's case) calls them "brats," and afterward doesn't disagree when Jill remarks that Machinist really did deserve the prank, thus ensuring that Jill hasn't learned a thing from this. Linda does tell authority figures about the bullying, but they do nothing to punish the perpetrators and believe Wendy's cockamamie explanations instead. Part of it could be Mrs. Minish's refusal to believe that her kids could be so cruel (that line of dialogue is even the title of one chapter in the book).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |
