I had to reupload this because a glitch on RUclips's end completely killed its performance, and reuploading was the only way to solve it.
Cyberbully (2011) is another moral movie misfire in the same category as the previously-covered Cyber Seduction and The Pregnancy Pact. It attempts to tackle the issue of cyberbullying and bases its story on a real-life tragic incident, but it’s execution and presentation are so ridiculous that it can’t be taken serious, and doesn’t do justice to the issues it explores or those affected by them.

I love how these movies try so hard to make the bullying seem legit, but because they can't risk have too restrictive of a rating, all the bullying is extremely milquetoast and restrained, unable to say or do anything that would really hurt someone. Hell, the kind of shit-talking I received from classmates in grade school was more devastating than most of the bullying shown here.
The main character seemed to have the most legit hurtful things to say
Okay, milquetoast I had to look up.
Mil-kay-toe-ast? Milky-toast?
Nope. Milktoast. Never heard of it. Very apt, though.
Kimberly Elliott I was thinking the same thing though. I reread “milkytoast” at least 5 times
Milquetoast: somewhat archaic word, off the top of my head, it means bland or weaksauce.
And now I just had to look up the etymology and it comes from almost exactly where I was expecting, but through an intermediary step I didn't see coming. Coined in 1924 to be the name of a comic strip character Caspar Milquetoast for the comic The Timid Soul, a meaningful name alluding to the food: milk-toast (literally toast in milk), i.e. kind of bland and insubstantial. Has more presence than an actual non-entity, but not by much.
Kimberly Elliott
Toe-ast? Seriously?
I feel like this is a movie is more for Karen's who don't really know how the internet works rather than actual teenagers.
Considering blocking and deleting never occurred to her I'd agree
Of course it is. It's a shit flick for dumb mothers to see and then force their kids to watch.
A film about cyberbullying made by people who've probably never been bullied was doomed to fail.
This movie would have ended so fast if she blocked the person. Or just didn’t let the things the people said get to her head.
Even if I didn't know what a Karen was, I'd still agree with you.
This guy needs to work on his censoring.
Girl: They bully me because I'm plus-sized. Taylor: But you are fat, so that's okay then!
@@cristinadona9091 [Copy-pasted off Wikipedia]
In the English language, the word nigger typically is an ethnic slur used against black people, especially African Americans. Because it is considered extremely offensive, even if only mentioned and not used as a slur, it is often referred to by the euphemism "the N-word". It is also in use with a more neutral meaning among African Americans, primarily as nigga.
The word originated in the 18th century as an adaptation of the Spanish word negro, a descendant of the Latin adjective niger, which means "black".[1] Over time it took on a derogatory connotation[2] and became a racist insult by the 20th century. Accordingly, it began to disappear from general popular culture. Its inclusion in classic works of literature has sparked controversy and ongoing debate.
ppl legit say that so i wouldn't even be surprised
@@eveleen. I am so surprised that this hasn't been banished and now hope it never is lol
Damn, she’s so rude and we’re supposed to sympathise with her?
@@jasperjazzie That’s exactly what I was thinking lol. :/ I opened this comment section expecting people to say “that’s true though” or some shit like that
Is it just me or does the 'overbearing mother' seem like a normal mother who's concerned about her daughter's online safety, and doesn't really understand the internet so might be a bit overly cautious, but who is willing to respect her daughter's decisions when she sees how much it means to her?
It is even more funny because the mom was right that she shouldn't go on the website.
Literally agreed- this is how my mom is and although she gets paranoid I’ve never seen it as unreasonable since it literally makes sense
Same with Taylor’s mom
@@sodaboi2154 yeah it's poorly done in the movie. you're meant to see the mom as unreasonable but if your teenage kid immediately spiraled and became suicidal within like a week of getting social media, it'd be pretty damn reasonable to just take the fucking laptop away
me and my sibs weren't allowed to use our real names or ages/birthdays at all. i used to think our parents were being waay overly cautious ("the crazy guy figured out who i am cause i told him my bday is junember 32nd? really dad? you don't get it at all!" kinda thinking) but now i am appalled by how easily some people share somethings about themselves.
I'm still kind of concerned about how she raised her daughter to have the emotional capacity of an 8 year old at 17 years old though
"But that's different. You're actually gay, so the stuff they say about you is true."
Aaaaaaand I hate the main character.
Why is, she is the one, saying the most mean shit, compared to everyone. It legit made her most insufferable.
@@nnnnmhughuuhhjiijj9457 makes you sadly root for the bullies. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I’m so disgusted that this Samantha bullies her online so that everyone hates her and she’s so isolated that Samantha can have her for herself. That’s probably one of the only things in this movie that could happen like that in real life. And then she literally stays friends with every toxic friend she had.
I was also starting to ask if Samantha really hated her that much to do such a thing. Like, if she really was her friend, she could've just tell her that she was James right before, but instead, she just go with it.
@@rocbenaa1963 I can't see how Samantha would even be considered her friend after what she did. I've had arguments with friends before, but I never once decided to pretend to be someone else to cause my friend drama just because I was mad.
I think Samantha had a crush on Taylor and wanted to find a way to have her for herself.
@@kitkatcarebear7170 well she isn’t handling it well
@@jeanmichellelaurent you’re right
Back in 2012, a friend of mine started playing this movie. When it came to the pill bottle scene, I burst out laughing so hard that his wife asked what was wrong with me.
I'm so glad I'm not alone, how ANYONE could take that sequence seriously is beyond me.
You're mean.
Why did they have an utterly self-centered protagonist?! I admit Emily's performance is good but it's utterly wasted on a severely selfish protagonist!selfish character! Caleb was trying to reach out to her, and she responds with "Yeah, you're gay, so what they've been saying about you is true, But what about MEEEEE!". This lends credence to the fact that she is an obnoxious teenage girl! But the movie turns into All About Poor Taylor and Her Issues! So it justifies Taylor's Self-centered attitude! If you're going to have a movie or novel with a self-centered protagonist, Don't justify it!
Lends credence? Bruh, it gives credence, without expecting any of that back.
"Pretty Blonde Girl Assumes She's the Only Victim of Bullying Ever: the movie."
Not gonna lie guys, chuckled at the “I CAN’T GET THE CAP OFF”
I CAN'T GET THE CAP OFF is possibly the best line in the whole movie
Cyberbu//y: "It's not cool to make fun of people!"
Also Cyberbu//y: *has a character who's basically a gay stereotype*
That would instantly make this movie bad even if you ignore the fact that the bullier essentially gets away scot free, despite there being LOADS of evidence. A better ending- not only the criticism, but instead of clapping, everyone starts hanging out with her, ignore the bullier a la those Reddit comments on AskReddit, *AND* they actually find enough evidence to either suspend, if not outright EXPEL her, if not put her in juvie- maybe they have the father testify AGAINST her after finding out how severe it was.
I remember being forced to watch this in health class. We got yelled at for laughing
Same
All these PSA's and PSA films end up being more comical than educational.
Same the whole class laughed at the scene where she couldn’t get the cap off the bottle
I love bullying kids
IT'S BUTCH THE BULLY!!! O__O

You sure that's all you do @Childeater
Don’t we all? 😊
the only reason i go on fortnite and overwatch is to make squealers loose their shit, it's endlessly amusing.
The school admin not really giving a shit or wanting to do anything about the bullying problems is actually the most realistic part of the whole thing
Yeah I had my ex/exfriend threatened me, plus bullied me a lot ... Tried to ask for help from the school with a friend since it mostly happened there......yeahhhhh the school cop said it wasn't their job to deal with it(knowing that I was threatened) and the school itself wasn't doing much, if nothing at all. Lmao I hate school
when Taylor belittled the gay characters trauma: I beg your pardon 😐
"I cAn'T gEt tHe Cap OfF" will be my new favorite meme
Every time Taylor runs away:
*GREEN HILL ZONE INTENSIFIES*
HAZAA a man of quality
Gotta go fast!
The narrator sounds like a from-memory idea of what Gob from Arrested Development sounds like.
Wait a minute... I seen this movie in sixth grade! My science teacher made my whole class watch it to teach everyone a lesson about bullying on and offline and how it can lead a person to harm or unalive themself. Half of the students in my class were serious and silent while the other half was mocking and laughing at some parts of the film.
17:34 - Actually, harassment isn't protected by free speech, or the US constitution so yes, if his daughter is harassing people online, she is very much committing a crime. Contrary to popular belief, "free speech" doesn't mean there are no rules, if only because one condition of free speech is that everyone else also gets to be free _from_ your speech if they chose to. Forcing people to deal with speech they don't want to hear, especially harassment and libel is a _violation_ of free speech.
B-b-but muh fearmongering! :’(
I remember I watch this movie with my class like a year ago, and when she said the "naughty girl" line, everyone just started laughing.
I remember watching this back when i was a teenager and having to rewind three times just to hear "Im a naughty bad girl and someone should spank me" being actually read out loud!... Like my first thought was 1- seriously? Someone HACKED someones account and typed THAT?! of all things possible? 2- i have actually seen worse things shared nowadays by teens/young adults on a daily basis. Just seemed like literally the most incredibly ODD thing to put on anyones page for any reason 😂💀😬
This may be a re-upload but I still have to ask:
Was the brother ever punished?
Why are are Samantha's actions giving the impression she's crushing on Taylor?
That's what I thought, a lot of problems stem from Taylor, but her brother's at fault too in that moment, why would you do that to your sibling? And when they showed this movie to us in 8th grade we aaaaall thought Samantha had a thing for Taylor, so when the reason was revealed we all went ???
The brother was punished. He was grounded and he was there when the idiot couldn’t get the cap off.
If bullying goes past name calling and petty insults then it should be classed as a crime. If you get beat up, that's assault. If you get attacked for a protected characteristic then it should be a hate crime and they should be punished by the law
unironically the "i cant get the cap off" scene is so funny. i shouldn't be laughing but im here in stitches over it oh my gods-
“I can’t get the cap off” is a classic movie line at this point
Cyber bullying is really hard to do these days if the person is sentient. Something like this kinda happened at my school? Kinda? It wasn’t targeted at a person, but a rule, and someone went too far. But we all just left the chat, and no one cared after 2 hours.
"The most sympathetic character is the overbearing mother."
Well, at least they know their audience.
only soccer mom could like this, but normal sane adult will say this movie is garbage
Read this while he said that and his whoaaaa fit perfectly
Ba da boom 🙂
AHAHAHAHHHAHAH
@@punkybrewstar83 tssss
Ok, you might've been called homophobic slurs multiple times over multiple days, but has your brother ever hacked your account and said you're a naughty girl that was seen by 27 people? Yeah, thats what I thought.
O my lord. Y did the brother even do that?? Is 1 of the questions I wanna know about.😑💧
*hacked*
I love this movie
“hacked”
She prob had autologin on her Laptop with no password lol.
@Squidward I was just about to comment this hahahahahaha
@Squidward Tall Girl?
This movie genuinely looks like an adult swim parody of these types of films
It would have probably been pretty successful if they just added the Benny Hill sound track, maybe some fart noises and a ba-dum-tis here and there lol.
I remember back in high school me and some friends watched it for our bad movie night and it was so unintentionally hilarious it was great.
L H lol
This film could so easily be one of the greatest satires ever written, if they somehow acted less seriously.
The Room:Cyber bullying
a movie about the gay character learning to cope with online bullying through finding his own found family at that group therapy thing would’ve been a much more interesting movie, imo.
You're absolutely right tbh
That would have been so much better.
I’d watch that movie.
Kinda reminds me of the prom to be honest.
Unfortunately, the target demographic of this movie don’t support the LGBTQ+ community...
The gay guy is literally saying that he has gone through what she's is and he's trying to sympathize with her and she just doesn't care
She basically said "WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT BEING BULLIED, YOU HOMO!?"
R Nickerson so...the stench of ignorance and ignoring a classmate
Yeah, wtf? If she hasn't been a slut, why is it upsetting her so much? The gay guy is literally having his character destroyed and bullied for just being himself :'(
Everybody who’s gay listening to what she said like 👁👄👁
@@Richard_Nickerson That was really narcissistic of her. Acting like no one had ever been bullied before her.
So their plan was to have a suicide attempt... on Disney channel?!?!
a.b.c.
But they didn't :)
@@razkable it was originally supposed to be on Disney channel
No, I remember that it aired on abc family (freeform)
@@KHOiloveromeo in the beginning he said it was going to be on Disney Channel
My high school made my whole class watch this movie, and I will never forget the whole auditorium erupting in laughter when she couldn't open the pill bottle. The teachers got mad at us but like, this movie was so stupid how could a bunch of teens who have grown up with the internet NOT find this hilarious?
That is brutal and so perfectly teenager. Also like who can open up those fucking things.
Same! Became an inside joke for a couple months
Hey teachers! Watch the movie first before sharing it with the students.
Lol we waschen it too in English class
This is more like a preview for watching *any* action by Zillenials 🤣
The most realistic part is the school doing nothing about bullying.
Yeah.
Yup
Well to be fair they do do something.....
After bodies start dropping 🤔🤔
@@IchigoKurosaki_ only if it's at the school

@@applepieexplosion4030 given the attitudes of the time and the people behind the movie, i honestly wouldn’t be surprised for such callousness.
"PPPPFFFT what ever f- *GETS DISINTEGRATED*
It's so obvious that people that didn't grow up with the internet wrote this movie. Are you telling me a 17 year old doesn't know what block or delete comment is?
And what was that mocking video? no teenager would take the time to do something like that, they would be the ones getting bullied for being so cringey.
I seriously said “you didn’t know social media has a block or delete button?!!! Get off the internet with that stupidity” lol
But... There are people who will not block people bc that's "rude" 🙄
Facts tho I’m 17 and I delete comments it’s not that hard to do can’t believe I found this movie as good and Taylor was so annoying and cared what others had to say about her
@@sasy1533 Ngl I rarely ever block people just cause I find it fun reading extremely stupid replies
@nek Jones probably not. I’ve seen a lot of dumb shit.
how is there not a single kid named james in an entire high school
None of them are named Larry either because it's not 1955.
Attmay james is a common name unlike larry.
You’d be surprised
@@Attmay In primary school I literally had 3 guys named James IN MY CLASS, I don't even want to know how many were in the whole school. James is a really common name.
My name is James and I have three or four close personal friends named James from high school.
Holy crap, the mom offers real advice and a reasonable solution. Deleting social media if it negatively affects you is good advice for any age.
Damn skippy
There's an even better scene later in the movie where the mom basically spells it out that taylor is responsible for causing most of the trouble with her catty bitchy drama queening behavior online and the response taylor gives is absolutely priceless.
Especially the expression on her face because you see for a split second that it starts to sink in then she retorts with "how can you say that this is my fault?".
@@Hammerhead547
She uses that excuse for everything...
She: Hits brad and brad dumps her "HOW IS THIS MY FAULT!?!"
She: Kills some dude's cat "HOW IS THIS MY FAULT"
She: Guilt for murdering a random woman "HOW IS THIS MY FAULT?!"
Fucking hell, running away, without the benefit of getting good at it.
Deleting social media is good advice. Belive me it has help me a lot
David Anthony Berrueco yeah I deleted half my social media and now I don’t get irritated by seeing really horribly disguised ads
I saw a kid poop his pants in gym class. He didn't get picked on NEARLY this hard. This movie is a gross exaggeration. I wish they handled it better and made it more realistic.
And also, most of the time, even the person who gets joked about laughs too, or at least doesn't take everything that seriously. Its normal to get pissed off at first, but then after some time you brush it off by laughing about it
@@plague_doctor0237 Everyone jets joked about, not everyone gets bullied, there is a line between those too and bullying can go a little and a whole lot over said line.

She lost my sympathy the moment she said "how would you know" to the one dude being supportive
You are entitled to your own opinion, but for me she lost my sympathy when she said "Well. yeah but you really are gay. What they're saying about me isn't true."
@@rogue7723 Which she said after saying "how would you know". That sentence didn't lose her my sympathy, it earned her my animosity.
I pretty much lost it right there though I never cared for her anyway
It's honestly realistic though, being bullied Isolates you so much, once you get used to everyone hating you, it's really hard to accept it when someone is actually nice to you. It feels like everyone is out to get you, and everyone has other motives. It's not uncommon at all for bullies to use other kids as pons when they realize you won't give THEM a reaction anymore. So idk, this movie was shitty but realistic in other ways. Bullying fucks with your head.
you lost my sympathy when you tried to associate emotion or empathy to this hot pile of garbage instead of a movie that's at least somewhat decent.
The Megan Meier case is insane, poor girl didn't get bullied by ("just") her peers, but a grown-ass woman who lived 4 doors away, pretending to be a 16-year-old boy.
Omfg so they took this serious case and made _this?_
@@r.j.penfold i know its so sad, Megan Meir died at 13 years old and was being harrassed by ADULTS and they took her story and made this
@@micaelaproano6128 That's almost as insulting to a real life event since the Michael Bay _Pearl Harbor_ movie.

@@jebtickle4065 how though?
@@captainshadowfox Cus' it was funny.
"I CAN'T GET THE CAP OFF!"
Her suicide attempt was thwarted by a safety mechanism designed to stop toddlers from accidentally eating the special candy inside. It does this by requiring the toddler to be able to read, and then push and twist at the same time. Taylor failed to clear this tall hurdle.
I be surprised if she could unlock the door to her house
@@redcoatgaming4141 She's the type where if she tried to go out and couldn't open her locked front door instead of trying to find the key she'd scream about how she was trapped.
I guess she's too stupid for both worlds
To be fair, some of those caps are badly designed/warped from age, and genuinely can actually be a bit tricky to get off - plus she's emotional and not thinking clearly.
What's NOT excusable is that she SHOUTS "I can't get the cap off" loudly, to no one but the audience (I know someone's in the room, but she's clearly not saying it to that person, she's saying it to the audience to justify why she hasn't taken the pills).
@@LordofFullmetal she was breaking the fourth wall. Plus everything after that scene was not scripted
*Lawyer:* Don’t make legally defamatory statements about my daughter.
*Also Lawyer:* My Daughter can make defamatory statements bc Free Speech.
He would obviously defend his daughter
A lot of Americans seem to be like that. They think they can say whatever horrible shit they want then when they get called out they scream about the First Amendment and free speech.
@@Xehanort10 It's funny when those people talk about free speech then cancel someone for being mean to someone like pokimane
@@Xehanort10 Very few people seem to actually understand what free speech is. I can say whatever the fuck I want, no matter what your opinion of it is, but you can also say whatever you want about whatever I said. So many people seem to think free speech is freedom from criticism when it's the exact opposite. Free speech is specifically for criticism. As the saying goes, if you're only for speech you like, you aren't for free speech. I'm sure I fucked the quote, but close enough
It shocking that most people don’t understand that there are limitations to freedom of speech in America. Call to actions (screaming bomb in an airport, telling someone “kill yourself) are banned, threats are illegal, slander can be prosecuted, etc. The 1st amendment doesn’t cover those and what they did/said could easily go to trial
The teenagers in this movie have the emotional maturity of 10 years olds.
True, but they mostly look like 30 year olds, so perhaps that evens out the odds, somewhat?! 😁
hello
@Ray Riley if the teenagers you live around act like this I genuinely feel sorry for you💀
Ah yes, just like actual real life teenagers.

@@terra_the_nightingale135 She seems to have a self pitying mindset where it's only bad because it's happening to her. If it was happening to anyone else she wouldn't care.
I'll never understand these 'teen drama' movies that make their main characters the most brainless, over-privileged, selfish people on the planet. Am I *supposed* to root for/relate to them? Because I don't.
And they always live in houses that look like Better Homes and Gardens spreads, and they always have insipidly treacly acoustic guitar rock nobodies singing shitty boy-band reject "songs" over the soundtrack.

"I mean you are gay, what they are saying about you is true."
I was somewhat curious on where this was going, but after hearing that line, that was it. That was _it._ They really expect us to like _this_ person??? And _root_ for her? To some extent I would say she was similar to the bullies. I don't even think she would be mad if that friend of her that she shames goes through this. She would probably say something like, "Maybe you should stop doing that, then they will stop."

The people in this movie don’t seem to understand the block function exists.
In YMS's video, he said something along the lines of "I can't help, but notice all those X's next to all the comments."
Or the power button
At least it’s semi realistic. A lot of people don’t realize that you can block people
Its more the fact the bullying continues in real life.. She goes to school everyday and sees all those same people so just not being on social media doesnt actually stop the bullying and the social isolation.. This movie tried to make that point with the friends leaving her and the guy not going to the dance with her anymore but its a terrible movie so its done terribly
That's because if they did, they couldn't take cyberbully seriously. A lot of this is absurdly contrived because they want to push a novel idea. If this movie were to be actually useful, it'd be 10 minutes long. As soon as the bullying started, she'd be like "OK, this is stupid, I'mma go do something else". So, they have to take it out of the cyberspace and come up with some reason why she has to keep reading those comments. She doesn't really learn a lesson about privacy, taking control of her life or anything that could be remotely useful. teach burglars not to steal. Brilliant.
When she said "It's different, you really are gay. The things they say about me aren't true".
*y i k e s*
Aw gawd... if I didn't hate the protagonist of this movie even more. She's a complete narrcisit
Bullying is bullying whether if the things said about you is true or not.
"I'm a naughty bad girl someone should spank me" Really? they bullyied her for that? It's not like many random people on the internet say that all the time...
People on the internet say worse than that, This film has a really watered down portrayal of bullying on the internet.
I know right? That's the lamest hack ever. And all she had to do was change her password and status and delete the post.

I just never understood what her best friend's motivation was for cyber bullying her best friend like that. It made absolutely no sense.
I know, she claimed that it was to "protect" Taylor from any boys, but why would she pretend to be one online? It just makes no sense whatsoever! 🤦🏻♀️
because of her Sick Burns, duh.
Sie was just super petty
Never watched the movie, but going off of this video maybe the friend was pissed that she kinda slut shamed her for sleeping with a dude on the first date and wondering why he never called her back. Maybe she wanted to get revenge on her for that. It's a weak motivation, but plausible maybe.

What no one seems to understand about bullying is that the words that are said aren’t usually the part that hurts. It’s the feeling of being alone cuz the bullies manipulate everyone around you into ostracizing you.
Yeah and the humiliation.
Specifically with cyberbullying, it's the not being able to escape bit that makes it dangerous too. Whenever they look at their phone, it's there, berating them.
Also, I forgot that she okayed the gay dude being called a SLUR.
*Song of the South* had a more effective anti-bullying message.
Apparently it is ok to call someone a slur if they are what the slur is making fun of.
Leo Bakaitis RUclips deleted my comment listing off some of the potential insults(censoring one of them and trying to be tasteful in how I wrote them), but I just think it’s very selfish, apathetic, and a massive double standard that is being perpetrated here. This is a very muddy message when your main character who we’re supposed to sympathize with and feel sorry for cyber bullying is perpetuating cyber bullying by saying that certain forms of it are okay.
@HelloHamburger it was a joke I was making fun of the movie
Leo Bakaitis I know that I was adding to it.
"I can't get the cap off!" is just another "Stupid child proof caps!" but less entertaining.
Aw look heather is going to whine whine whine
I don't know, I got a pretty good laugh out of it. Even when I saw it in elementary school. The counselor wasn't a big fan of that.
That would be me tho v.v
Childproof shit still stops me.

Me watching this when I was like 10: This is such a deep and beautiful movie with such a great message

The only thing worse than 13 reasons why is cuties
I remember watching this movie and being quite terrified though now I see it's ridiculous.

I watched it when I was eight and it scared the shit out of me. Watching it being reviewed as a teen is surreal.
Bruh im in the same boat! I was born in 2000 so this shit was super deep when I watched it when I was young.
The overprotective mom is actually being somewhat logical? Holy shit, this must be a sign that the world is going to implode.

If they were gonna parody Heathers like that, they could've at least done it well.

@@peteryang8991 I agree that cyberbu//y is a terrible movie, but you are completely wrong. It's extremely invalidating to kids who suffer from depression and say that they are "too soft". It's a mental illness. Would you say the same thing if it were physical? Nobody wants to get depression. But bullying can actually warp your mind into doing things that you otherwise wouldn't have done. You obviously don't know how the brain works. 🙄
@@genevievehunt439 Give me a break, we all dealt with bullying as kids, let me tell you about something, my mum been calling me a "worthless piece of trash", since I was eight years old, pretty much on a daily bases. When I was first grade everyday the first thing I have to do when I am get home before I walk into the house I have to say ten times "I am a piece of crap that doesn't deserve to live" if I am like kids today, how many times would I have committed suicide already? Just a reminder, I was 7 years old. people born in the 50s and 60s are the worse parents ever and they are the least competent people that should be in charge, I mean just look at how the whole world gone to the crapper the last 20 years since this generation been in charge, it is chaos. If by your theory, half of us kids born in the 80s and 90s should have suffer depression and commit suicide. But that is not happening, we come out of it stronger and wiser, in some countries the baby boomer are doing such a horrible job, kids born in the 80s and 90s are even taking over in leadership role, before their age, whether it is big corporation or even government and is doing a better job, New Zealand Prime Minister is only 36 when she was first elected now 40. Fineland Prime Minister is only 34, (she look more like a pretty girl on a soap opera, then a national leader) In Taiwan the sixth largest city Mayor, he is only 25 and is clean up the train wreck of debt and mess created by the baby boomer, after only been in office for 2 years. Current Taiwan, President, despite been a baby boomer is amount the smaller majority that are competent, but guess what, all of her advisors are currently under 40.
Stop making excuse for kids these days, you are not helping them by doing so, toughen them up, a year in military school would do them some good.

this “movie” came out when I was 15, at the height of my self harm, and I distinctly remember watching this with my mother. she had recently found out about sh and things were super awkward, so during the “attempt” scene, we were so uncomfortable that we couldn’t look at each other lmao
“I can’t get the cap off!” is the funniest shit.
I remember seeing this when it came out.
The pill scene was glorious. When the others were wrestling with her to calm her down, the movie faded to a commercial break and the very first advertisement was for Advil or Aspirin or something like that.

Ironically I can kind of see someone being bullied for saying “I’m a naughty girl who needs someone to spank me” because that is just so tame and unimaginative.
She probably wouldn't be bullied like this though. She'd probably be bullied for the fact that it is so tame and unimaginative. She probably get the 'nobody cares' or 'attention seeker' line of bullying, and that would just die down after a while because everyone would just get bored.
This movie grossly exaggerated what people on the internet, or in general, will seriously bully someone for.

"The movie's depictions of cyberbullying are milquetoast and incredibly inaccurate, especially considering that the main character said some of the most hurtful things in the movie. The writing is poorly executed and was clearly done by people who have never opened a web browser in their lifetime. I've never seen a movie fail so spectacularly in its messaging, and watching it made me with that I could get the cap off, and shuffle off this mortal coil."
SAME omg when i was 14
Did you write about how it was insightful into the mind of a self pitying unlikable person, or how it shows exactly what not to do when making a movie tackling tough issues. Or was you young at the time and didn't know better?
"You're speaking with an attorney, before you slander my daughter."
In order to prove slander, you need three things.
1. The person said harmful things about the victim (which is true, the mom is very clearly talking bad about the daughter)
2. That the things the offender has said is not true
3. The offender knew that they were not true, but said them anyway.
Of those, only one criteria is met. The bullying that the attorney's daughter participated in has been very well documented. I dont think this guys is that good of a lawyer.
Best part is that the mother could check each and every box off and sue em for slander
The funniest part about this is that the first amendment doesn’t cover libel or slander. The school should’ve set up regulations and guidelines on their social media website.
He just read the “freedom of speech” section and thought he knew the entire constitution.
BOOM! LAWYER'D!
Considering he pulled the "freedom of speech" card, the fact that he's a lawyer is bizarre.
The 1st amendment protects what you say, true, but it DOESN'T protect you from the consequences like the dad seems to think.

“If my daughter insulted your daughter it’s her right. It’s the first amendment, free speech”
Is it not slander to spread lies as truth about someone?
To be fair, spreading rumors like "I'll bet she slept with 20 guys and is pregnant" wouldn't ever hold up. Slander is actually quite difficult to prove (rightfully so), at least in the US.
