Bully - Official

[Petrichor]

Trailer for the upcoming documentary “Bully”, which will be released on March 30th. I don't know if people are aware of this film but it touched my heart watching it. I saw the trailer for Bully today and just wanted to share it. I have no wise words to impart. I just have a heart And it breaks when I see the strong take advantage of the weak. If this film can cast a light on an issue that cripples the spirits of the young people of the world, then I want to do what I can to amplify that light.

Watch. Be inspired. Share. Move. Act.

Summary:

Directed by Sundance and Emmy-award winning filmmaker, Lee Hirsch, The Bully Project is a beautifully cinematic, character-driven documentary. At its heart are those with huge stakes in this issue whose stories each represent a different facet of Americas bullying crisis. The Bully Project follows five kids and families over the course of a school year. Stories include two families who have lost children to suicide and a mother awaiting the fate of her 14-year-old daughter who has been incarcerated after bringing a gun on her school bus. With an intimate glimpse into homes, classrooms, cafeterias and principals offices, the film offers insight into the often cruel world of the lives of bullied children. As teachers, administrators, kids and parents struggle to find answers, The Bully Project examines the dire consequences of bullying through the testimony of strong and courageous youth. Through the power of their stories, the film aims to be a catalyst for change in the way we deal with bullying as parents, teachers, children and society as a whole.

kinda sucks that it's 17+ because kids really need to watch this.
Bullying is one of the things that needs to be shown to kids in it entirety.

Hopefully the rating gets lowered so schools can use this.

My honest opinion on the subject is the schools and parents need to let kids work out their aggression. Wrestling, boxing, and other contact sports would work perfectly. Boys will be boys and the best way to deal with an issue is to let them let out their aggression in a controlled environment. If someone gets hurt, so what? Injuries heal, you don't respawn if you lose a life.

I was mad when they made it nc17 because of the subject matter, being that the subject matter is what they are addressing-duh.

I was/is one of those other kids that don't get bullied just ignored... Until I helped this kid who was bullied. Then I punched the bully in the face and got suspended... But he go more days then me.

Bullys are heartless souls

The sad truth is bullying can't be prevented. Sure, we have programs, movies and what not but we can't control minds. I'm watching the
movie regardless of the rating.

If you guys would like there is a petition I found to try to lower the rating to PG-13. You can sign it here:
PETITION.

Getting suspended for being a decent human being is ridiculous. Glad to see you have character.

Humans are in many ways still very much like other great apes. We form social hierarchys which usually put the biggest, strongest or most beautiful at the top when we are children, but this gets skewed by income/wealth when we are adults, since income/wealth can compensate for other shortcomings.

Yeah but great Apes parents do not get their kids taken away when they smack their out of control kid (bully) upside the head so he calms down and behaves.

No, of course it is more complicated than explanation, since humans have a more complex society, but the root of it is the same. Allot of laws are written by career politicians who may not have kids of their own, or who don't spend much time with their children, so they are not always best in every situation.

I'm with stomp let's just whack them upside the head.

You are right that it really depends on what kind of home life the bully has. By the way, I am no expert, I just talk out of my rear end based on my own observations in life.

Of course there are people who are just psychopaths and have no empathy or remorse no matter what.

So basically, if they were weaker than you, you'd bully them? That wouldn't make you any better

But yeah, bully's are just sad individuals IMO.
