Bullied

I was unable to attend class the morning we watched Bullied, but a classmate informed me about how to order the free copy. After waiting for the movie in the mail and viewing Bullied I was horrified at what I saw. Not only was this very hard to see, but it was very surreal to see how close to home this happens, Wisconsin! I couldn't believe the amount of harassment that Jamie Nabozney endured during his school years. The most horrifying part of this story was the amount of times Jamie and his parents went to school officials and were told that it would get taken care of, only to endure much more pain from his peers. Fortunately this story did not end with a suicide, although he ran many times to escape the pain. I think that this movie should be shown to children of appropriate ages in schools all over the country. Maybe it takes a story like this one for children to realize the seriousness of bullying and what kinds of effects it has on others.
