I am going to recommend this movie to our youth leader at our church. This movie made such a loud and bold statement! Emily did such a real performance here (totally got her out of the Hannah Montana mold!!!) The makers of this movie told it exactly the way it is and left nothing for the imagination. It is a heartbreaking story that makes you want to jump through the TV, it makes you cry, and it makes you open your eyes to the realness of this issue.

This dvd shows how the internet, texting, messaging and other technologies can be used to bully others. The main feature of this dvd is a controlled situation involving three groups meant to recreate some of the conditions in which cyberbullying takes place. Though everyone participating in this "experiment" know that it is not real, the interaction between the groups and the hurt that occurs become very real.

Most all of us are aware of how bullying affects the people who bully others and even how people who are bullied react. Cyberbulling takes bullying to a whole different level. Where bullying is localized, cyberbullying is allowing the world to see its results. It is one thing to experience the shame of being bullied in your own area, quite another when it is not only sent to cyberspace but commented on from the world at large. It was amazing to see how the (apparently well rounded, popular, secure in their identity) teenagers contributed to cyberbullying via use of computers and cell phones. If someone you know is not familiar with cyberbullying, this is a must see.

Way, WAY, WAY too much is being made of bullying lately. Back in my day (mid 90's) when we had issues with someone bullying us, we settled it after class. Settled it in the halls, on the playground, in front of school...whatever. We said our piece, made threats, sometimes we fought. We didn't need to shoot each other, we didn't kill ourselves because we were too emotionally weak to handle it. There is no nice way to put it...this generation is soft...plain and simple. The sooner shows like this that coddle the weak minded stop getting made, the better off you'll all be. Just deal with it.
