The title of the movie is Bully. The film is a documentary that follows the lives of five victims of bullying and the adverse effects it has not only on them, but also on their families. The film shows the inside picture of the tragic effects that bullying can have on young children and teenagers. It is an eye opening documentary and a must-see film for all ages in order to help combat bullying. The film can be bought on thebullyproject.com, where you can also find more information on the Bully Project and how to fight bullying.
When I watched the film, I was stunned at how little was being done in the schools to help combat bullying. For the most part, the school administrators seemed to be acting like politicians and were telling the parents what they wanted to hear instead of actually making a change. It made me feel disgusted knowing that this still happens today. Also, it surprised me that more kids didn't take the initiative and stand up for the kids that were getting bullied.
Statistics show that bullying and school violence seem to go hand in hand because bullying has only increased violence in schools for both the bully and the victims as well as other innocent kids. Bullying has a really negative impact on the health of our population.
I think that in order to combat bullying, school administrators, parents and children all need to take a harder stance against bullying instead of being so nonchalant and easygoing about the situation. It needs to be taken more seriously in order to save the lives of the victims of bullying who have no voice. The bullies need to face a much harsher punishment than what they are experiencing now.
