Ignore the bullying, it doesn't work. Stand up to them, it's a daily battle where the teachers punish both or neither. There's no way for the victim to win.

[@ventinggg-d2o]

It's not that easy

I was bullied all through secondary school,it’s not so easy to stand up to bullies.I wish I had but I’m just not that sort of person.

Nobody deserves to be treated badly.

[@yolandaleigh4198]

No they dont, but sadly many people suffer from abuse, and will continue to.

[@katherinecarrara3379]

So powerful. That anyone could feel so distraught about themselves is so sad. Her sister was her only ally and she no longer could be her support. Two lives coming to such tragic ends.

[@angelawrahtz4477]

Powerful and moving. My heart hurts for her.

[@AnnelisaWaltz]

Thank you

[@sweeneylens]

This was heart breaking and reminded me of all the bullying I put up with. All the times I snapped. And the one time I really thought about it... This is beautiful and I appreciate you sharing this. Thank you.

[@BabyGThes]

Such a powerful movie from start to finish. Every moment is gripping, no piece of dialogue wasted. Loved it!

[@AnnelisaWaltz]

Thank you!

Jake deserves an grammy for this one

[@CAMBY608]

Wow! That was powerful! I always know when a short/film/movie is great, is when I want to turn it off for it makes me so uncomfortable, which means it kinda in my mind puts me there, and it's hard to deal with - so you definitely captured the raw pain! Got yourself a new sub! :)

[@AnnelisaWaltz]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your comment. Thank you for watching

[@UPONBUTTERFLYWINGS]

Well done, Hun! Most of us who experienced public and even private schools were subjected to bullying. I sure was…. Until I stood up to a girl twice my size when I responded to her one of her daily verbal thrashings. Oddly, after finally speaking , which I rarely did, she left me alone. Perhaps, the fact I did speak may have made this brute realize I was a human being… who knows.
My point is, although I’m now in my mid 50's, bullying has always been an "acceptable" part of our school years, no one would address the issue nor attempt a change in society, even after many self unalivinings over the decades. I’m grateful someone has a message for society that this behavior is unacceptable, at any age. 🌼💖🌼💖

[@blazingstar9638]

That’s what you are supposed to do. GreT job!

[@blazingstar9638]

** great
And yes you’re so right about bullying

[@scheidtmann13]

So realistic and I am sure many young people’s story that comes to light ! I could not stop thinking about it for days! Every aspect of this film has been done with a masterful eye…..from the acting , directing , music and cinematography!

[@AnnelisaWaltz]

For any of the bullied victims reading this, remember that the bully is clearly struggling too. I mean, how bad does your personal life need to be if you have to bully others to feel better about yourself? Remember that you are loved and you are worthy. Stay safe, love.

[@fallon_under_fire]

this is a masterpiece!!!

[@ShonPhoenix]

Is this the same girl with the nutty roommate? I came here because of that video. Good film.
