Not all that long ago, it was dismissed as an unfortunate rite of childhood.” He then uses logos to further push his ideas. He begins to explain that bullying is not as big an epidemic as expressed.

Brad Cohen is constructive, has a positive attitude towards the future. He doesn’t get affected by the negative words of people at most times and leads a normal, delightful life. For example, in the movie, when he receives a phone call from the interviewee, he picks up the phone in excitement and makes the noises before the “hello”, to which he gets a question asked “was that your dog?” he replied in denial “yes that was my dog”.

The documentary, Bully, presents countless examples of the effects of bullying and how poorly circumstances are managed. Through instances resulting in juvenile detention or taking one’s own life, the documentary displays various ways kids deal with torment. As we follow the lives of five different youths suffering at the hands of their peers, we see just how much these kids go through with little to no support.

Donoghue’s tendency to neglect important details about the characters as a result of depending on analepsis is problematic. First, this passage is told in first person. When the speaker looks back on his or her life, he or she only uses androgynous pronouns which in turn makes it impossible for the audience to know which gender the speaker is. Although information about gender is not necessary to understand the passage, this lack of information forces the audience into possibly incorrect assumptions. Following, as Donoghue shapes the characters into universal molds, she continuously lessens the amount of information she gives the audience throughout the story and passage. The audience receives limited information and continues to see the characters

Not only are bullied children anxious, depressed, and underachieving during the months and years of their torment, but even years later, they have lower self-esteem as well as painful memories. 7 The picture is somewhat different, but often more ominous, for bullies. Contrary to the public perception that bullies are actually insecure and lonely, at the peak of their bullying they usually have friends who abet, fear, and admire them, and they seem brashly unapologetic about the pain they have inflicted, as they often claim, "all in fun." But their popularity and school success fade over the years, and especially if they are boys, they run a high risk of ending up in prison. In one longitudinal study done by Olweus, by age 24, two-thirds of the boys who had been bullies in the second grade were convicted of at least one felony, and one- third of those who had been bullies in the sixth through the ninth grades were already convicted of three or more crimes, often violent ones. International research likewise finds that children who are allowed to regularly victimize other children are at high risk of becoming violent offenders as adolescents and adults. 8 Unfortunately, bullying during middle childhood seems to be universal: it occurs in every nation that has been studied, is as much a problem in small
