Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

This movie showed how it really feels to be the victim and the bully. Hoping this would change how some people treat other people. Superb on how emotions were shown as they really suffered something like that. Most of us have... One of the movies that will never be forgotten. From beginning til the end it felt so real that as if I was there as well. 10/10 for everything.

An excellently crafted message around the causes, effects and ultimate inability to effectively deal with bullying in schools.The characters were well cast and the story line subtle enough so that neither get in the way of exposing the utter despair and denial that underlies the lives of both the bullied and the bullies.Some may think the degree of bulling in the film is not very extreme, that's the point, it is to show how bullying is personal and that is what makes any bullying so destructive.Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me....judge for yourselves once you watch the film. Anyone who has been bullied or been a bully who now knows better will be moved by this film. The abject lack of institutional accountability shown by the school board is telling but the film does an excellent job helping the viewer understand why this is the case. There are a few unspoken truths brought to the surface.Powerful stuff.

This is the best bully drama I've seen. Instead of it being a generic bland story about unbelievable characters this film was beautifully directed and the actors truly make it a heart wrenching tale.Instead of focusing on the victim, is also dives further to discover the bullied and the bully, covering why bullies do what they do. Not since Breakfast Club has a film reminded its audience that there are often 2 victims in cases of bullying.But it also doesn't diminish the fear and horror of the effects of bullying, it truly makes your eyes tear each time you hear the doctor talk to the parents, each time her parents and Brian blame themselves, and remind victims of the consequences of suicide itself on their family and friends.

When I first saw this movie I added it to my watch list but after read in the description I thought it'd be a lifetime movie style, cheesy, high school bullying story. I decided to give it a try anyway out of boredom. What I thought would be a cheesy film actually turned out to be pretty realistic and tragically sad. The whole nation is all about bullying these days and I for one think things have gone a little over the top. But this film accurately portrays the events that lead up to teen suicide in the events of bullying. This movie is different in the fact that they show both sides of the story; the bully and the victim. This is a movie that could be shown in schools as a warning, if it wasn't for some swearing.
