Bully - The Movie

aishah · 04-11-2012, 12:23 AM

i can't wait to see it! i only heard about it recently because a friend was mentioning that they excluded the fact that tyler long was on the autism spectrum from the movie. i thought that was interesting but other than that i haven't heard much about the film, so i just went to look at the website

now i'm very excited to see it.

i was bullied in school and i'm working on a project for youth who are queer and/or disabled who are responding to bullying and other forms of violence. one of the attitudes i've run up against a lot is that bullying is just "kids being kids" and that stopping it isn't important, we just need to teach kids to deal with it and get over it. i find that really troubling - that there is this belief that physical and emotional violence is okay or, like, a rite of passage.
