Movie #752 .........................'Bully"

Movie #752 "Bully" was a very good documentary following 5 different families who have had to deal with bullying in some way or another. Schools come across basically very inadequate, and that isn't good.........and I wish the movie had more answers. But it is good about exposing the problem, and the major point on that is for the victim to LET OTHERS KNOW IT IS HAPPENING before it is too late. I liked a couple of the stories more than the others, esp. the one showing this boy Alex who is being bullied as the cameras follow him for this film. It is very difficult to watch, to see him change from a happy-go-lucky kid to a scared, insecure individual who just wants friends and doesn't have a clue how to get them. How can we as a society stop the problem? That's the big question; I just wish it had more answers. P.S. even though the language is raw at times, this film should be shown in every school at least once---- every kid and parent should see this one and discuss it with each other -- the problem is that important! Bully 2011 PG-13 99 minutes I give it 4 stars out of 5 Exploring the subject of school bullying from a personal angle, this eye-opening documentary tracks the stories of five different families whose children are struggling to defend themselves on a near-daily basis. Genre:Social & Cultural Documentaries, Documentary
