Bully

For the longest time, you were either one of two things in school, the bully or the bullied.  As times change, and with them people too, this is becoming less of a norm, and more intolerable.   The movie, Bully, opens in select theaters today, with a clear message that will resonate the world around.  While its getting press and media attention for refusing an MPAA rating, the opening of the film is hoping to garner a different kind of attention.

The film is a heart-wrenching eye-opening documentary, solely focused on the epidemic of bullying in America's public school system.  It's insightful, raw, and sympathetic view of the lives of five public school students who are constantly targeted by bullies, provides a harsh reality most adults have forgotten, and most kids live everyday.  

The goal of this movie is not only to shed light on the ever-growing problem of bullying, but also to let kids everywhere know that it does get better.  And whether or not you take your kids to see this movie, the idea of it alone warrants a conversation with your child as to how they perceive school.  You may learn some things they never knew how to express.
