Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

SmallFox 1 This documentary covers 95% of what every other documentary, T.V show special, and bad Lifetime Network movie has done 100 times before. How? Don't worry I'll make my case.1. There's a Dad in the story who talks about his son who committed suicide from being bullied and what do the parents do about their sons death? They whine,mope and cry That's it. The parents, didn't confront the school for negligence of a student or the bullies who got off scott free. Worst parents ever!2. There's an assistant principal who does (shocker) absolutely nothing about any kids who get bullied. She is confronted several times throughout the whole documentary by both students and parents alike and guess what? She doesn't enforce any of her own authority. Seriously, is was anyone surprised?3. None of the parents ever put their foots down and demand from the school district that their own kids be protected from bullies because all the parents ever do is, you guessed it, wine,mope and cry. It truly is pathetic when that happens because the kids who are bullied are just left as punching bags who will also grow up never learning how to put their own foots down..All of the messages tie into the same mealy mouthed,pussy footing messages that might as well say "You see you big mean bullies? you hurt their little feelings and how they either suffer from depression or have committed suicide. Are you happy now?" I hate the whole passive/ignore the bully message. Who has actually done that and actually earned anyones respect in school? That's not how real life works. More people should be teaching kids to STAND UP FOR THEMSELVES!

Lanina Smith I think that the documentary was quite powerful, in my own opinion. The documentary didn't try to romanticize the idea of bullying or suicide but touched on the reality of it. The idea that school really cannot do anything is rather false and you can see that in this documentary. Also, they show the parents and how they cope as well. They follow a child and watch his daily routine as he gets bullied and tormented daily and how they take care of situations like that. They also show public meetings which were quite informative and helpful to see what the community thought as a whole instead of just the general people as themselves. I believe this documentary was made to help teach kids not to bully, and to show what it does to others, and how to guide kids who are being bullied to stand up and tell someone, because many societies and schools today are unsafe from this type of deal. Some teachers and children have yet to recognize it. I enjoyed this documentary for its informative reasons but the entire thing made me unhappy as a person to see this happening to children so young and that no one would do anything about it until someones life is at stake.

wayno-6 May contain spoilers.This was a movie/documentary/running commentary on bullying. Many issues were NEVER addressed.I was bullied as a kid, so I can totally identify with these kids. This "movie" (for lack of a better term) was made by autism speaks.I am on the Autism Spectrum. First let me say, that autism speaks DOES NOT SPEAK FOR ME! I have several issues with the organisation, not the least is the fact that there is NO one with Autism/Aspergers on the board of directors for this organisation.While autismspeaks is "responsible" for the movie, it completely misses the elephant in the room. Autism/Aspergers. If you purport to make a movie about being Autistic and the subsequent bullying, then it only seems reasonable that at some juncture, the issue(s) of the Autism is discussed. Wrong! A lot of the playground bullying I experienced as a child, WAS indeed related to Aspergers. I still struggle with relationships in my 6th decade on this rotating ball of boredom. Yet, they never discuss that.You cannot in good conscious, remove the causation factour in the bullying. Being Autistic sucks at times. But it also is responsible for my excellent computer programming skills.If you are autismspeaks, and you are making a film about bullying, then you need to address the cause. Autism. Once again the organisation fails to properly represent those of us on the spectrum.Yes -- this film deserves an F-.Wayno

Syl How I totally related to the bullied victims in the film, this documentary is a powerful testament about the good that can come from film making. This documentary follows bullied teens and pre-teens who are bullied to death. There are plenty of ways to be victimized in the school system. I would have loved to have been an English teacher in a school and made every effort to curb bullying or prevent such behavior. Unfortunately, bullying doesn't end at high school graduation. It's worse now with the Internet. In my day, the bullies couldn't get me at home unless by phone. Still bullying has always been around. Finally, it is now getting attention. There are too many suicides from bullying. If I can send you one message, it does get better. I only wished that I fought back.
