There are movies that were made to promote awareness to the issue of Bullying and to visually demonstrate how much of an impact it leaves on the victim. Some notable movies that recently came out are:
1) The Bully (2013): movie was inspired by the hit song "Stop Bullying", written and sung by famed artist, Jiggy Jada (a.k.a G.I. Jayne). It tells the story of a young Muslim girl who transfers to a new school and finds herself to be the victim of endless bullying by a group of teens from her class. Through help from unexpected allies and of course hope, she finds relief as the story proves that there is always room forgiveness and that it is never too late to redeem ourselves.
2) Cyber-Bullying (2011): Starring Emily Osment and Kay Pannabaker (both of Disney Channel fame), it proves that not all friends are reliable and can in some cases, become your worst enemies. It details the harmful effects of cyber-bullying and shows how a girl nearly commits suicide from the relentless torture of online harassment. The moral of the story is do not trust everyone, and be careful who you talk to, especially in online forums.
3) Bully (2011): A documentary film detailing the stories of five individuals who experienced bullying for various reasons.
We encourage everyone to take the time to watch these movies as they painfully depict how painful and traumatizing bullying can be. Do not forget that kids and teens alike have committed suicide in the past (also as depicted in Bully) just to escape the torment of their peers. Together we can make a difference.
